Neighbors in Kewaunee County upset after large amounts of manure washed off of nearby farm fields and contaminated a local stream that feeds drinking water wells. The DNR says it happened during recent heavy rains and the agency is monitoring the situation. It is not considered a best-practice to spread animal waste on farm fields during the winter when there are no plants to absorb it, although some farms are permitted by the state to do it anyway. The EPA is going to stop considering public health benefits when evaluating air pollution limits. For decades the agency has calculated the cost savings of avoided hospital visits and premature deaths that come with stronger air pollution rules. But now the agency will no longer consider those calculations that have long been used to justify air pollution protections.
