Fellow here in Minnesota had his hog pit 1/10
full, got a horrid heavy rain, like 11 inches.
Made his pit run over into the creek, MDNR &
MN EPA fined him pretty bad, the spill was big
enough in total gallons to click him up into a
bigger badder fine. But only 1/10 th of it was
really hog manure, 90% was rainfall. Seemed
like a harsh deal to me for what the situation
was. Think it put him out of business, if my
memory serves.

Sometimes they work things out with the
fellows as has been said. I agree anyone
really pumping it into a waterway should have
the book thrown at him.

That happened somewhere in the state too -
fellow was storing his dripping pump & pipe
when the inspectors showed up, he was trying
to say it was an accident - nothing looked
broke, the tube track went straight to the
creek.... He was intially fined, I hope that one
stuck & no deals, never did hear more on that
one.
