Tyson was in violation of a 2002 agreement to limit its discharges into the river. According to one <A href="http://www.channel3000.com/money/20483265/detail.html">news report</A>, Tyson, which discharges about 5 million gallons of "treated wastewater" from a Nebraska beef processing facility into the river each day, caused high levels of toxicity to aquatic life in the river.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.care2.com/causes/environment/blog/tyson-fined-2m-for-mucking-up-missouri-river/"><P>Gee, what a surprise! The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reported that factory farms pollute our waterways more than all other industrial sources combined. According to the EPA, <A href="http://www.goveg.com/environment-waterwedrink.asp">chicken, hog, and cattle excrement</A> have polluted 35,000 miles of rivers in 22 states and contaminated groundwater in 17 states. Animals raised for food produce approximately 130 times as much excrement as the entire human population—87,000 pounds per second.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8EC2FAD1-2011-4A58-9831-F7E807853BED/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
