News

May 26th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources reports the agency has entered into a voluntary, enforceable agreement known as a “Consent Order,” with a Pottawattamie County livestock producer.
Cyclone Cattle, L.L.C. has agreed to maintain its open feedlot 36488 Beechnut Road, in Carson, in accordance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and pay $3,500 penalty for past water quality violations which allegedly occurred in March, 2010.  $2,000 of the penalty will be paid to Pottawattamie County Conservation Board for environmental projects in the county. The penalty has been paid.
The DNR has also reached “Consent agreements” with two western Iowa individuals.
In Harrison County, Walter H. Marshall, Jr., of Missouri Valley, has agreed to make a payment of $260, which satisfies the administrative penalty obligation of order. And, in Mills County, Kenneth Knight Sr. has agreed to pay a $500 penalty for open dumping and open burning violations which allegedly occurred in January 2009 and March, 2010.

A consent amendment is issued in settlement of a previous administrative order or to amend a pre-existing consent order. A consent amendment indicates that the DNR has voluntarily entered into a legally enforceable agreement with the other party.

Beef Feedlot in Underwood, Iowa, to Pay $20,000 Civil Penalty to Settle Discharge

News

May 26th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

(Kansas City, Kan., May 26, 2011) – A beef feedlot in Underwood, Iowa, has agreed to pay a $20,000 civil penalty for unpermitted discharges of wastewater from the
facility into Mosquito Creek. Moran Beef, Inc., agreed to pay the penalty as part of an administrative consent agreement filed by EPA Region 7 in Kansas City, Kan.

In June 2009, EPA inspectors visited the facility and found that it lacked controls to prevent the discharge of animal waste into Mosquito Creek and its tributaries.

A subsequent inspection in October 2009 collected samples of effluent that showed the facility was discharging pathogens, ammonia and nitrate into an unnamed tributary of the creek.
At the time of EPA’s inspection of Moran Beef, the facility was confining approximately 1,485 cattle in its open lot and confinement barn operations. A Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) with both open lots and confinement barns is subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act as a “Large CAFO” if the entire operation contains more than 1,000 beef cattle.
EPA issued an administrative compliance order to Moran Beef in January 2010, directing it to comply with requirements of the Clean Water Act and end all unauthorized discharges of wastewater from its facility. Following that order, Moran Beef applied for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and has built controls at its facility to prevent unauthorized discharges.
Unpermitted discharges of wastewater from CAFOs can cause exceedances in water quality standards and pose risks to human health, threaten aquatic life and its habitat, and impair public use and enjoyment of waterways.
