Muscatine's largest environmental polluter -- Grain Processing Corporation (GPC) -- may finally face legal action for alleged air quality and wastewater violations, some dating back seven years.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is recommending the nine-member Environmental Protection Commission refer the violations to the Attorney General's Office "for appropriate legal action."
Commission members, appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state senate for four-year terms, will consider the recommended legal action at its April 19 meeting in Des Moines.
