The bureaucracies in WA state run on fraud and theft, one dairy had a 11 million gallon manure lagoon, because the county got some of the grant money they gave the dairy a permit to raise the dikes to increase the manure capacity of the lagoon, the problem is the fresh water table is ground level, stack liquid manure than high and it contaminates the ground water, every neighbor had manure colored water coming out of their taps, wells contaminated.

Other lagoon have failed when agitated flooding the river with manure from the failed manure lagoon dike.

They shut down dairies with no waste issues, make dairies pay into local city waste water treatment systems even though the dairy is outside city limits and have nothing to do with local city sewer.

Dairies with defective lagoons or should not have that system period gets gov grants and permits and legal protection, other dairies just the opposite.

The dairy with the 11 million gallon lagoon has a methane digester PUD power generation plant near by, the other Tualco dairies process the manure extract the methane and solids and used the left over liquid to drill injection fertilize the soil ( works well on uneven ground ) .

Even though the farmers can operate with better ecological money ,making management the bureaucracies force them to damage the land rivers water tables and pay the gov to fuck everything up. ,

One reason I moved away from the coast is it is the same in the whole coastal Puget sound region, fraud black male bribery are the operating principles of Washington government.
