A welder works inside a large cylindrical structure at the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center (HERC) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This facility, which began operation in 1989, processes waste to generate electricity for the local grid. The ongoing work involves the replacement of a water tank, a critical component for the plant's cooling and operational systems. The HERC plays a significant role in waste management and energy production for the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
