U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln's bill - Tyson's dirty water bail-out
by Belleann Dumont, Joplin Independent: . . . a bill introduced last spring by Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) that would amend the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 to provide that manure shall not be considered a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. . . . Lincoln, who says she's from a seventh-generation Arkansas farm family, was re-elected in 2004 after a landslide victory . . . Apparently, she's convinced her constituents that she's there for working families and, as her website suggests, as a "leading voice on national priorities like health care." Has she asked herself why health care has become such a priority? However, run-off from manure into the groundwater doesn't add to any health issue. It's not a source of contamination, she says.
Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmonson disagreed when he filed a lawsuit against 14 Arkansas poultry companies claiming that run-off from their improper land application methods and storage of hundreds of thousands of tons of poultry waste have polluted the Illinois River watershed and Lake Tenkiller, eventually affecting more than 20 Oklahoma public water supplies. "This waste can also contain high levels of arsenic, zinc and copper, Edmonson reported. "It creates high phosphorus levels that cause excessive algae growth and eventually can cause high levels of carcinogens in drinking water. We are extremely concerned about the impact this waste could have on human health.” . . . [Read More]Tags:Arkansas, Blanche Lincoln, clean water, farming, manure, Oklahoma, US Senate
