A.G. also announces lawsuits alleging violations at feeding operations in Howard and Pocahontas counties. Des Moines. Consent Order, Judgment and Decree lawsuit alleged that Farmers Cooperative Society illegally released manure which discharged into an unnamed tributary of Six Mile Creek on September 22, 2005, and March 31, 2006, causing water quality standards violations. Farmers Cooperative also failed to provide notice to the Dept. of Natural Resources of the September 22 manure release. Another manure release occurred on January 26, 2006, but the manure did not reach a stream. On February 3, 2006, Farmers Cooperative also applied manure within 200 feet of Mile Creek without injecting or incorporating the manure, the suit said. The Farmers Cooperative Society cattle-feeding facility has about 10,000 head housed in four confinement buildings, and about 2,000 head in open lots between the buildings. In 1998, Farmers Cooperative Society paid an administrative penalty of $2,000 and $1,398.32 in restitution for a fish kill that resulted from a release of manure from the facility and pollution of over 16 miles of Six Mile Creek.

Pollution prevention Causes of water pollution Any substance other than clean rainwater that enters an outside drain is a pollutant. Water pollution occurs when these substances leak or spill from their containers, or are poured or washed onto the ground, then enter an outside stormwater drain. The pollutants that enter outside drains do not get treated before they are discharged directly into our beaches, lake or streams. Every day in North Shore City pollutants enter our waterways. Whether large or small, at home or at work, this results in the pollution of our environment. Even a very small quantity of pollutant, or just one discharge, can drastically alter the quality of a stream. Fish, insects and plant life can be killed and habitats destroyed. A polluted stream may never fully recover.

Special Notice Water Pollution Water pollution is "any physical or chemical change in surface water or groundwater that can harm living organisms or make water unfit for certain uses" (Miller G17). There are two main sources of water pollution, categorized as point sources and nonpoint sources. Point source pollution comes from specific locations, such as through a pipe or a ditch. Producers of point sources include factories, sewage treatment plants, and oil tankers. Nonpoint source pollution, on the other hand, cannot be traced to a specific location. Nonpoint sources are more dangerous because they are difficult to contain and research. Examples of nonpoint sources include acid deposition and chemical runoff into the surface water. Pollution of surface and ground water is of particular concern in Indiana. The state is dependent on surface and ground water as a source of drinking water. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management assessed over 99% of Indiana's

CEO Statement News Release Global Environmental Issues (Overview of Environmental Activities) ... Contact Us Vigorous efforts are being made to promote in-process recycling of water used at Nissan plants, and as a result water usage volumes have been reduced. Advanced processing of wastewater is also being carried out at treatment facilities before this water is released into the environment. At Oppama Plant, for example, water quality sensors have been installed in the overflow outlets in the plant's wastewater treatment facility, enabling automatic shutdown of off-site wastewater drainage in cases when any irregularities are detected. These kinds of proactive measures are vital in continuing our commitment to the prevention of water contamination. Based on the results of environmental performance monitoring being carried out at all of our sites of operation with identical standards, we intend to further enhance our management of personnel, property, and facilities.

fact sheet Fact Sheet: Water Pollution By Obviously.ca Staff. Posted on 6:35:00 pm - Thursday, October 11, 2007. What is it? Water is considered a renewable resource if portions circulates back and forth in the hydrologic cycle. Due to a growth in population and consumerism, water regulators and policy makers are being challenged to find ways to stretch available supplies further to sustain demand. What is water pollution? Pollution in water can be in one of two forms. It is possible that nature itself can produce these imbalances as the natural composition of some water makes it unfit for certain uses: e.g., water flowing in the highly saline terrain of the prairies or gushing from highly mineralized springs in some parts of the country cannot sustain fish populations. More likely, however, waterways are being polluted by municipal, agricultural and industrial wastes, including many toxic synthetic chemicals which cannot be broken down at all by natural processes. Pollution of surface and groundwater is reducing the supplies of readily available, clean water for personal and animal use. What can we do to protect our water?

It need not be spelt out exactly how important it is. Yet water pollution is one of the most serious ecological threats we face today. The US Environmental Protection Agency and the Natural Resources Defence Council has more information about this. What is water pollution? Water pollution happens when toxic substances enter water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans and so on, getting dissolved in them, lying suspended in the water or depositing on the bed. This degrades the quality of water. Not only does this spell disaster for aquatic ecosystems, the pollutants also seep through and reach the groundwater, which might end up in our households as contaminated water we use in our daily activities, including drinking. Some important definitions and causes of water pollution can be found at this web site Sources and effects of water pollution Water pollution can be caused in a number of ways, one of the most polluting being city sewage and industrial waste discharge. Indirect sources of water pollution include contaminants that enter the water supply from soils or groundwater systems and from the atmosphere via rain.

See also: Water Pollution Environmental Issues Sustainability ... Recycling and Waste Although natural phenomena such as volcanoes, storms, earthquakes etc. also cause major changes in water quality and the ecological status of water, these are not deemed to be pollution. Water pollution has many causes and characteristics. Increases in nutrient loading may lead to eutrophication. Organic wastes such as sewage and farm waste impose high oxygen demands on the receiving water leading to oxygen depletion with potentially severe impacts on the whole eco-system. Industries discharge a variety of pollutants in their wastewater including heavy metals, organic toxins, oils, nutrients, and solids. Discharges can also have thermal effects, especially those from power stations, and these too reduce the available oxygen. Silt-bearing runoff from many activities including construction sites, forestry and farms can inhibit the penetration of sunlight through the water column restricting photosynthesis and causing blanketing of the lake or river bed which in turns damages the ecology..

Water pollution is a serious public and wildlife health problem in Wisconsin. Surface Water Pollution Surface water pollution is still a problem in Northeast Wisconsin despite decades of effort, partly due to industrial and sewage pipe discharges into lakes, rivers and streams. Though wastewater treatment plants have been built and some regulations have been passed, our region's population continues to grow rapidly and industrial production is increasing. Incremental improvements in wastewater treatment are sometimes negated by sheer volume. Couple this with loopholes in the laws and compromised water quality standards, and we still have a lot of work to do to protect public health and wildlife from water pollution. Key Weaknesses in Water Protection Political Pressure and Corruption - The Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR) has prime responsiblity for enforcing the federal Clean Water Act and additional state rules, but is under constant pressure from lawmakers and lobbyists to weaken the rules, or grant variances and exemptions to specific projects or industries. In recent years, the DNR has suffered severe budget and staff cuts, and two dysfunctional reorganizations. While we tend to blame the DNR for environmental problems, the real culprits are the Governor and State Legislators who control the agency. Lack of leadership and campaign corruption are the real problems. (See Campaign Finance Reform Compromised Health Standards - Water quality standards, which are used to regulate the discharge of wastewater, are the product of intense negotiations during the state rule-making process. The DNR generally creates Advisory Committees which include lobbyists for many of the sources of the pollution, and these committees are charged with trying to find "consensus" on what the standards should be. This often results in compromises which don't fully protect public health or wildlife. Some regulations never pass because of this political process. Two recent examples are the DNR's proposed Mercury Control Rule, which Republican legislators have blocked from passing, and the
