Foam Spills From ADM Corn Sweeteners Plant
An air activated sewage pretreatment system malfunction caused foam to spill into Prairie Creek Friday morning. Iowa DEQ officials said steps were taken to stop the spill and no real harm was seen, though untreated plant sewage briefly bypassed to city facilities. The issue likely stemmed from imbalance in the biological treatment process, with no sanitary waste involved.
