Gaping Loophole in New Factory Farm Waste Regulations
- "The loophole basically renders the Clean Water Act meaningless when it comes to regulating the fecal discharge from CAFOs. It says to these massive facilities, 'Hey, figure out if you need a permit to pollute, and then come and get one.' It's appalling." - quote from Michele Merkel, a former staff attorney in the EPA's enforcement division who now works for the nonprofit Environmental Integrity Project. Quote appeared in this Grist article.
