Residents warn against large hog operations near Assiniboine Delta Aquifer
Allan Johnston of Cypress River warns South Cypress council about two proposed hog barns, a 1500 sow facility in Treesbank and a 3500 sow barn by Over the Hill Farms with Genetic Park. He cites excessively drained sands above a shallow aquifer, groundwater pollution hazards, and potential nitrate phosphate and pathogen contamination risking drinking water. He urges residents to contact councillors to oppose the projects.
