State drops big fine on Iowa meatpacker for water violations
December 14, 2010

A county judge in western Iowa has dropped a $225,000 fine on a meatpacking plant located near Oakland for violations of air-quality permits and the plant's wastewater discharge permit. The state's attorney general argued that the plant was discharging wastewater with high BOD, TSS, ammonia, oil and grease, and fecal coliform levels.
