LiNeZise, the 2reJon Department of AJricul ture can¶t do much about dairy industry concerns that publicly disclosed reJ ulatory filinJs Zill e[pose farms to trespassinJ and vandalism. As mandated by the fed eral &lean Water Act, the aJency issued a public no tice in -une that five dairies are seeNinJ to chanJe their animal Zaste manaJement plans. Wym 0attheZs, manaJer of the Department of AJri culture¶s &onfined Animal )eedinJ 2peration proJram, said such notices are fair ly routine, but this one Zas someZhat unusual because four of the five dairies Zant to e[pand their herds. After an article in 6alem¶s 6tatesman -ournal described these plans, the aJency re ceived enouJh reTuests for a public hearinJ that one Zas scheduled Wednesday . Previously, such hearinJ reTuests Zere rare, 0at theZs said. ³I thinN the in terest is neZ.´ 6everal of the people re TuestinJ a hearinJ identi fied themselves as veJan, he said.

Dairy and aJriculture representatives later said a 6tatesman -ournal arti cle mischaracterized their comments as tryinJ to hide information from the public. Tami .err, e[ecutive di rector of the 2reJon Dairy )armers Association, said they Zere simply Zorried about private information beinJ misused and not about the contents of the Zaste manaJement plans becom inJ public. “We Zere asNinJ Tues tions and e[pressinJ concern for our producers,” .err said. “We¶re not tryinJ to hide anythinJ. I¶m a biJ fan of transparency.” While the Department of AJriculture can redact confidential business infor mation ² such as financial data or e[perimental Zater treatment systems Zith pat ents pendinJ ² the bulN of these plans must be pub licly disclosed under the &lean Water Act, 0attheZs said. “We¶re reTuired to by laZ,” he said. The Capital Bureau is a collaboration between EO Media Group and Pamplin Media Group.

The state also can¶t consider comments that endorse particular man aJement systems, such as orJanic or pastureraised, he said. 0any of the comments made durinJ the hearinJ Wednesday appeared to fall outside of the state¶s pur vieZ, as they opposed feed inJ proJram e[pansion Jen erally Zithout identifyinJ specific problems Zith the proposed Zaste manaJement plans. 6ome commenters men tioned antibiotics, Zhich the aJency does not reJulate as a pollutant. “They end up in the meat, in the manure and in the Za terZays,´ said 1iNo 0oro ]ov, a colleJe student. 2thers obMected to the amount of Zater used to pro duce milN, Zhich also isn¶t reJulated under the &lean Water Act. 1ic 6hipley, another col leJe student, claimed dairy Zater use is e[cessive. “Is milN really Zorth it"´ he said. The issue of animal Zel fare Zas also brouJht up. “In an ideal Zorld, Ze Zouldn¶t treat animals the Zay Ze do and have massive meJafarms,´ said Laurel +ines. “0y opposition is to the larJe farms, the farms that aren¶t orJanic.´ *avin &urtis e[pressed dismay Zith the practice of cullinJ younJ calves for “bob veal.” “These tZo to threeday old babies are torn from their mothers and then slauJh tered,” he said.
