Cirrus Aircraft has agreed to pay a 50-thousand-dollar penalty and complete compliance actions as part of an air quality enforcement agreement with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. According to the MPCA, Cirrus in Duluth failed to apply for necessary air quality permits and submit required reports following new construction and major modifications of its Duluth production facility. In addition to paying the penalty, the company is required to pay air emission fees, submit an air emissions control analysis and related applications, and submit the missing annual reports from November of 2002 to the present.
