Factory farms, or Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), threaten our waters with immense quantities of sewage, which too often are sprayed on fields where it can then runoff into streams and leach into groundwater — including into our drinking water.
On August 8, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE ) will hold an hybrid remote public hearing in Lansing on the long-contested 2020 NPDES-CAFO General Permit, to regulate factory farm waste discharges to our waters.
To prepare for this important hearing, join Flow Water Advocates on July 31 at Noon for a briefing on the issue, and learn how you can weigh in to support effective regulation and clean waters in rural Michigan and the Great Lakes.
Flow has been an intervenor in an administrative contested case and litigation on this permit over the past 5 years.
