State officials claim they waited to notify the public while they gathered more information.

We knew there was a presence of tritium in one monitoring well, however Xcel had not yet identified the source of the leak and its location, Michael Rafferty, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency spokesman, via NBC.

Now that we have all the information about where the leak occurred, how much was released into groundwater, and that contaminated groundwater had moved beyond the original location, we are sharing this information, Michael Rafferty, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency spokesman, via NBC.

Xcel, which notified the state of the leak on November 22, said they have been pumping groundwater, while also storing and processing contaminated water.

Ongoing monitoring from over two dozen on-site monitoring wells confirms that the leaked water is fully contained on-site and has not been detected beyond the facility or in any local drinking water, Xcel Energy, via statement.

According to the company, the water being stored and processed contains tritium levels below federal limits

Trump’s $45M Army Parade Overshadowed, Protesters Outnumber Attendees | ā€œNo Kingsā€ Chants Echo in US

President Trump’s highly anticipated 250th Army anniversary parade in Washington D.C. was meant to be a patriotic spectacle—but it fell flat. Despite tanks, military flyovers, and millions spent, the streets were shockingly under-attended. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of anti-Trump protesters flooded cities across the U.S., chanting ā€œNo Kingsā€ and calling for his ouster. The contrast was jarring: as Trump delivered a brief 8-minute speech calling the U.S. ā€œthe hottest country,ā€ political violence rocked Minnesota and national tensions surged.
