Company violates animal waste law
TULSA, Okla. — More than a dozen Arkansas-based poultry companies have violated state and fed-
era laws limiting the disposal of animal waste in the Illinois River watershed, argues Oklahoma's attorney general.
Oklahoma is requesting a preliminary injunction to stop poultry companies from dropping animal waste in
a health threat to hundreds of people who visit the river valley each year.
Edmondson told a federal judge Tuesday that waste from the birds is measured in tons and not pro-
...the amount of phosphorous dumped on the ground in the watershed each year is equivalent to the waste of 10.7 million people.
the 1 million-acre watershed. State Attorney General Drew Edmondson maintains that unless the court grants the request by the spring, the fecal bacteria found in the waste could pose
cessed, treated or diluted but dumped on the land "ostensibly as fertilizer but far in excess of agronomic needs, in the most environmentally and ecologically sensitive watershed in Oklahoma."
The hearing on the injunction
is expected to last several days and is part of an Oklahoma lawsuit that accuses Arkansas-based poultry companies of polluting the watershed with chicken litter.
"Our evidence will show that these persistent and pervasive violations of state and federal law have infested the rivers and springs and wells of the Illinois River Watershed with biological pathogens that have created an imminent and substantial threat to human health." Edmondson said.
Patrick Ryan, an attorney for Tyson Foods, Inc., responded that the injunction seeks to disrupt an industry that has operated successfully in the watershed for decades. He also accused the state of creating the science to suit its case.
"There is nothing more going on in this watershed than the rest of the state," Ryan said.
More than 576,000 acres of the watershed are located in Oklahoma.
State and environmental officials contend that years of illegal spreading of the poultry waste, which contains bacteria, antibiotics, growth hormones and harmful metals, is killing Oklahoma's scenic lakes.
Edmondson sued the poultry companies in 2005, saying litter pollution rendered Lake Tenkiller in northeastern Oklahoma 70 percent oxygen dead and accused poultry companies of treating Oklahoma's rivers like open sewers.
He also said the amount of phosphorous dumped on the ground in the watershed each year is equivalent to the waste of 10.7 million people.
Named in the 2005 complaint are Tyson Foods Inc., Tyson Poultry Inc., Tyson Chicken Inc., Cobb-Vantress Inc., Aviagen Inc., Cal-Maine Foods Inc., Cargill Inc., Cargil Turkey Production L.L.C., George's Inc., George's Farms Inc., Peterson Farms Inc., Simmons Foods Inc., Cal-Maine Farms Inc. and Willow Brook Foods Inc.
Sears ordered to fix toppling appliances
COURTS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUISE — Sears Holdings Corp. will install safety brackets on its stoves in millions of households or offer gift cards in settling an Illinois class-action lawsuit over the appliances' supposed propensity to topple.
Under an agreement signed off on last month by a Madison County judge, Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based Sears will offer to fix all brands of its freestanding or slide-in kitchen ranges in as many as 3.9 million homes by bolting them to a wall or floor.
The deal covers Sears ranges
sold from mid-2000 through last Sept. 18. The deal resolving the lawsuit dating to July 2004 also requires Sears to install safety brackets in newly purchased ranges for the next three years.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs estimate the settlement could cost Sears more than $500 million. Sears, in a statement Wednesday to The Associated Press, said only that "the parties dispute many aspects of the case, including the value of the settlement, which Sears estimates to be a small fraction of what plaintiffs counsel estimates."
