Iowa Farmer Pays $60,000 Penalty for Pollution Violations
Posted 8 February
2010
Kenneth Moellers has paid a court-ordered $60,000 penalty for a series
of violations of manure-management regulations and water pollution
incidents affecting a Northeast Iowa trout stream, the Turkey River,
and other waters of the state.
Howard County District Court Judge Margaret L. Lingreen issued an order
in December ordering the penalty, prohibiting any future violations,
and requiring Moellers to undertake a battery of measures to comply
with environmental regulations and avoid water pollution resulting from
manure at Moellers’ large swine, cattle and dairy operations close to
Cresco.
The court order resolves a lawsuit filed by the Iowa Attorney General’s
Office and amended last year. The matter was referred to the AG’s
Office by the Environmental Protection Commission at the request of the
Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR), which undertook numerous
administrative enforcement actions. [Go to lawsuit.]
“We alleged that Moellers repeatedly violated Iowa laws concerning
water pollution control and animal feeding operations,” said Attorney
General Tom Miller. “This is an appropriate penalty, and the violations
should cease.”
