Environmental groups seek stricter CAFO rules in northeast Iowa
Iowa environmental groups led by the Iowa Environmental Council and the Environmental Law & Policy Center petitioned the Iowa Environmental Protection Commission for tougher rules on large feedlots. They aim to protect drinking water and karst terrain in areas like the Driftless region, proposing bans in areas with shallow soil over karst and mandatory NRCS design for manure pits. The petition targets new operations and seeks a fall commission review after meetings with state resources agencies.
