Peg Sheaffer, a spokesperson for Midwest Environmental Advocates, said the overspreading and fraud alleged in the complaint “are the inevitable result of a regulatory system that relies too heavily on self reporting.” 

The environmental group has fought the expansion of industrial-scale livestock operations — known as concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs — particularly in northeastern Wisconsin, where fractured bedrock makes groundwater susceptible to contamination. 

“As CAFOs multiply and grow larger, the massive volume of manure they generate becomes more difficult to track and regulate,” Sheaffer said. “It’s long past time for a comprehensive assessment of the capacity of the landscape to handle all the CAFO manure currently being generated.”
