Comments submitted on Simplot draft waste discharge permit in WA

SRW teamed up with the Center for Food Safety, Columbia Riverkeeper and Food & Water Watch to submit comments on the draft Waste Discharging Permit for Simplot Feeders LLC over its massive feedlot located in eastern Washington on the Columbia River. The feedlot generates approximately 292,000 tons of manure every year and tens of millions of gallons of wastewater. Putting that into context, Simplot’s feedlot generates almost twice as much manure as human waste from the entire population of Tacoma, every year.
