Pollution continued from Penick and Ford plant
Mechanical failure at Penick and Ford causes lime slurry to spill into the Cedar River. A pump breakdown at the plant redirects waste to the river two to three times daily, with repairs expected in six weeks. Meaney cites possible process-line leaks and storm sewer drainage as additional routes for waste. Authorities will review samples and report to health and pollution agencies.
