Lawsuit demands answers on EPA's stalled CAFO pollution panel
Original: Lawsuit seeks answers on EPA’s abandoned CAFO pollution panel
A lawsuit has been filed seeking information about the EPA's abandonment of a panel that advised on pollution from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). The panel, which had been tasked with advising the agency on factory farm runoff and water contamination, has been left dormant. Environmental advocates say the lawsuit aims to force the EPA to explain why the advisory work was dropped and to restore oversight of agricultural pollution.
Why now: Growing concern over factory farm water pollution and the EPA's lack of transparency has drawn fresh attention to the abandoned advisory panel.
