Dear Mr. President,
We have another potential environmental disaster here in the Ozarks after reeling from the Mayflower pipeline problem.
C & H Farms in Newton County is starting a Hog Farm with 2500 Hogs. They will use the waste for fertilizing their pastures.
Environmentalists are concerned that this waste will get into Big Creek which is a tributary of the Buffalo River.
The BUFFALO RIVER is the VERY FIRST NATIONAL RIVER!!! It is the only river in Arkansas that was not dammed and it is a sacred place! We cannot take ANY CHANCES with polluting this river.
I read that while permits for this proposed operation were granted, I also understand that crucial environmental impact tests required for such permits were NEVER undertaken. Please look into this!
This is not just a local issue because it is a NATIONAL RIVER and we hope you will step in and make sure that it is protected from HOG WASTE!
NO HOGS NO!!!!
Sincerely yours,
ONE WORRIED MOM
