Signed it. Good luck with this one. The CAFO's are lawyered up layers deep. Hopefully a National River will have more leverage than typically is afforded the resource.

I've seen more and more on this hog farm and how they went about their permitting and more on the location of it and I wa s dead wrong. I don't have a problem with it being in the watershed, but in a 25 year floodplain, with no input from the county, pretty shady how they went about it, petition signed.

I wish they had done the dam back in the 1960s so we could have another nice COE lake To boat and fish on. Then the hog farm wouldn't be happening because it might be underwater. Newton county would have had a real estate boom too. Guess the COE is totally out of the dam building business. That was another era.

I hope you were being facetious...yeah, we should have allowed the absolute most beautiful stream in the Ozarks, and one of the most beautiful streams in the nation, to be partially wiped out and totally altered by another COE lake just like all the others, to be surrounded by more tawdry development.

A day never goes by when I am not thankful that that era is over.

There was a pretty convincing article in yesterday's paper, written by the farm owner, that certainly expresses his own concern for the River, and the engineered safegaurds he will pay to deploy to protect it. Seems there were also meetings held at the local fire station to allow local input. IMO now, the only real question is whether to block it simply on the remote possibility that all the safegaurds could fail. If we start legislating to that extreme degree, I'm afraid we're all in trouble.

I can't dance like I used to.

From the report I saw on the news the facility is already up and running. Don't see it being blocked now that the money has been spent to build it, and they were approved to do so.
