Dear Barbara Kirkmeyer,
In reference to M.O.A.R.K. Hatcheries , when looking at the
magnitude of this planned project , 1 , 8000 , 000 chickens and
64 , 000 tons of manure , I am concerned by the negative long
lasting result that seems so unnecessary for the surrounding
area . The location of the project was terribly wrong due to
the known existing conditions . This long term/high volume
water contamination will need subsequent and continued water
sampling for years to come. The community of Roggen is
directly in line for this flow. The people cannot afford
deeper wells . I would expect many continuos complaints . We
need our scattered small towns. They all serve a needed
purpose . Maybe M.O.A.R.K. would consider compensating with
a drinkable water supply.
With the chicken droppings , the dead chickens , and the
rejected and broken egas , it sounds like a stew you would
put on a barge and haul out to sea and feed to the sharks .
There are vague solutions to critical items such as :
Wind erosion control
Flood control
Complete odor control
Health Factors
Minimal contamination control
There are very long term, hazardous factors . This type of
project definition needs strict regulations , frequent
inspection, and strict compliance. The question arises , are
the benefits worth the means? I do not think so . The flies
and the birds may love it, but for me, I just keep thinking
of the very long term contamination , the odor , and the
horrible chicken stew.
