I wish I had an answer for them, but I don't. It probably wouldn't hurt to explain the problem to the Institute for Justice and some other legal aid places, but I don't know how much help they would be. Probably the best thing they can do is just to publicize their predicament, which is what they're already doing.

I know of at least a couple hog feeder operations around here that have manure lagoons, but I honestly don't know that much about them. I wouldn't have thought it would be economical for a little 20-acre dairy operation, but I guess it must be. I know the EPA is involved with manure lagoons, under the guise of the Clean Water Act, but as far as I know Oklahoma isn't involved with regulating them. I don't know if they require an environmental impact statement.

Would USObserver get involved with something like this?
