- Hello, Jeff - I wish that I had seen this article sooner.
This is urgent because we are waiting for the arrival of H5N1 which may
even be here. Just imagine if the leachate had contained feces and other
biomatter infected with H5N1...
-
- I think it is time to find offending producers - wherever
they are - and SHUT THEM DOWN, NOW. We cannot wait until H5N1 arrives
at our doorstep to find the poultry and livestock operations that break
the law in the manner below. Then, it will be TOO LATE.
-
- H5N1 spread throughout Asia because many farmers operated
in unsanitary conditions.

- Canadian municipal officials believe a chicken manure
composting facility may be dumping E. coli-laced leachate into the St.
John River, the Bangor (Maine) Daily News reported.
-
- Officials from St. Hilaire, New Brunswick, charge that
leachate from the compost piles of Les Production Agricoles Ouellet is
entering the St. John River through a diversion ditch. George Marchand,
chairman of the St. Hilare committee investigating environmental concerns
with the facility, said test results received last week show that the leachate
has 300 parts of E. coli per 100 milliliters of liquid taken from the ditch.
-
- "This is totally unacceptable," Marchand told
the newspaper. "We used to be looking into an airborne smell problem
with the compost plant, and now we find this liquid being dumped into the
river."
-
- The Bangor Daily News was not able to reach the owner
of the composting facility for comment.
