Steps

  1. Fetch the current text at revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/116.202.
  2. Confirm the ban covers both sale and application of coal tar sealant products, effective January 1, 2014.
  3. Check whether the product's listed CAS numbers (65996-93-2, 65996-89-6, 8007-45-2) or its coal-tar/coal-tar-pitch content trigger the prohibition.
  4. Cross-check the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's coal-tar-based sealcoat FAQ page for enforcement guidance.
  5. Document compliance status before bidding a Minnesota job.
