Cronk: A belated, “Glad you didn’t get buried in a mudslide.” Good to see you posting again. Hope your area is recovering.
To be more accurate, hay isn’t considered a pollutant by the EPA, but liquid runoff from storage areas for hay and other silage often contains high enough levels of nutrients to pollute ground or surface water.
The rules that EPA was enforcing are not new, and hay wasn’t the only issue involved:
“A.J. Jones, d/b/a Callicrate Feeding Company, St. Francis, Kan. – An inspection in February 2011 identified significant NPDES permit violations, including failure to maintain adequate wastewater storage capacity, failure to meet Nutrient Management Plan requirements, failure to conduct operations within areas that are controlled in a manner capable of preventing pollution, and failure to maintain adequate records. The order requires the operation to comply with all terms of the Clean Water Act and its NPDES permit, and to coordinate with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment on its compliance. The order requires the operation to comply with the terms of its Nutrient Management Plan, including sampling and recordkeeping requirements. The feedlot has a permitted capacity of 12,000 cattle and was confining approximately 3,219 cattle at the time of the inspection.”

@Anton,
Thanx. Some friends of mine have 12 feet of mudslide in their front yard…unreal!
@ottnott,
good find. makes sense.how about policing Monsanto and their roundup ready pesticides and herbicides ?
Heh. I eat pesticides to kill the weeds in my genes.
I think you mean herbicides.
Most definitely pesticide
Defintely pesticides.
“EPA is turning a blind eye toward the mega-feedlots that are a real risk for pollution and, instead, is antagonizing small to mid-sized family operations in an effort to help their packer-partners capture the entire live cattle supply chain away from family farm and ranch operations.”
Twas ever thus. From their very beginning,s federal regulators have been the prime sculptors of the fascist state. There’s absolutely nothing a fat ass Washington paper pusher can do to prevent a worng that would be faster than the highly entreprenurial work force that is the plaintiff’s bar.
Regulators are there to create barriers to entry that only the bigs can surmount. End result, the fascist economy.

Nurse, I think we have another vitriol OD here.
Geezus, Ottski, try and come up with something semi-intelligent if you are going to comment.
A rational argument instead of an ad hom for starters.
If your Mom works for the EPA, my apologies in advance. She’s probably got no idea…

BLOOMBERG: Self-awareness futures limit down.
I may gig you, Otts, but my arguments are always rational (or at least arguable).
You offer little on these boards, save snark.
That’s in abundance. Why not try to back some of your left wing Leader’s policy moves here?
He needs your help here more than ever.
