Lost Valley Farm, a dairy near Weekend Weather Boardman with the capacity to milk Fri Sat 30,000 cows, has agreed to limit Sun wastewater production to 65,000 gallons a day and ensure its manure lagoons have enough capacity to handle water from serious storms. If the dairy follows the 52/33 52/27 agreement’s terms for one year, 50/32 ODA will resume using normal administrative remedies under the facility’s “confined animal feeding operation” permit. However, the agency can still seek to revoke the dairy’s CAFO permit or request a court injunction if it’s necessary. Earlier this year, ODA fined Lost Valley Farm more than $10,000 for allowing wastewater to overflow into unauthorized areas, failing to maintain lagoon capacity and not reporting the issues to the agency.
