We enlisted CURA’s community research assistance to provide us maps that show some simple population demographics and the number of private wells within a 5 mile radius of the project.

In the 2020 census Pine Island’s population was 3,769. 97% of the city lives within 2 miles of the project.

Low frequency noise is a prominent complaint from communities. The exact distance the sound will travel depends on the specific facility and equipment used but it could travel ± 2 miles.

In Elko New Market 68 private wells were impacted by the Niagra bottling plant, putting thousands of dollars of unexpected costs onto well owners.

There are 153 wells listed within 5 miles. MN law puts well interference costs, even ones caused by a developer, onto residents. How many could be impacted?
