State sues 2 firms over manure plan

EDITED

The attorney general's office on Wednesday sued two north-central Iowa hog confinement operations for failing to file manure-management plans, believed to be the first such lawsuit in Iowa.

Iowa Department of Natural Resources officials repeatedly warned eight large confinements owned and operated by General Development LC and Kollasch Land and Livestock Inc. to file the documents, which detail how confinements will apply manure to crop fields without polluting waterways. Both companies are based in Whittemore. The farms are in Kossuth and Palo Alto counties.
