PORTLAND — Manure applied to farm fields surrounding Grand Lake St. Marys in western Ohio has helped poison the 13,000-acre lake.
And one of the state of Ohio’s solutions — transporting future manure to farm fields outside the watershed, including fields in Indiana — has alarmed some Hoosiers in East Central Indiana…
Barbara Sha Cox of Indiana CAFO Watch called the Ohio EPA’s recommendation “frightening.” “We must expect IDEM (Indiana Department of Environmental Management) to be very proactive because we have so many CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) in Indiana that we do not need to take Ohio’s manure to clean up their watershed,” Cox said. “I don’t think we have the proper regulations, and we already have so much manure brought over from Ohio.”
