The Minnesota Department of Health is planning an effort to identify anyone who has worked in a Minneapolis vermiculite plant, and will survey almost 3000 homes around the plant. The WR Grace and Company processing plant has been open since 1938. The vermiculite there is believed to have contained asbestos fibers. To identify all the people who worked there, Attorney General Mike Hatch has written a letter to the company to get rosters of employees.
Digitization made possible by the State of Minnesota Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, approved by voters in 2008.
