Manure spill soils river in Marion county

OTLEY, IOWA – The DNR investigated a manure spill Friday that reached Van Zante Creek about two miles north of Otley in Marion County.

The spill occurred Nov. 3 when a hose connection failed during manure application. Michael Keller, Spring Valley Resource Management in Oskaloosa, immediately shut off the pump and built a temporary dam to hold the spill. Despite these efforts, an unknown amount of manure reached the creek.

The manure came from a hog confinement, Standard Nutrition Site 4.

Keller reported the spill Nov. 4. DNR staff who inspected the site did not see any dead fish in the creek. Field tests where the manure entered the stream showed ammonia levels within normal range.

The DNR will continue to monitor cleanup and consider appropriate enforcement action.

Do you think they will be able to dry those 10,000 clinton early voting ballots found in the river today ?- don’t worry about the smell – its common place for those buzzzards.

Globel warming comes from hog lots.

Guilty of destroying the environment, humans health and animal abuse, question would CAFOS be allowed by Christ answer NO, why are people allowing these greedy polluting psychopaths to destroy the environment, apparently people do not care about drinking and bathing in manure and chemical water, looks like the sorcerers plans of Dumbing the Goyim/cattle down has worked.

Peter Dumb Ass has spoken again.
