DNR checking manure runoff south of Bloomfield
BLOOMFIELD - Today the DNR checked a manure discharge about five miles south of Bloomfield in Davis County.
The owner of a sow operation, Woodford Creek Farms, reported a possible manure discharge Thursday afternoon following manure application.
When DNR checked the site today, the investigator found manure had flowed through underground tile lines, then over land until it reached a tributary of the South Wyaconda River.
There’s very little water in the tributary. DNR recommended discing the field to incorporate manure and pumping manure-laden water from the tributary to prevent it from reaching the river. Because of low flows, DNR investigators do not expect a fish kill. They took water samples for testing.
DNR will monitor cleanup and consider appropriate enforcement action.
