Here in NY the mega dairies get away with murder. Some have five or six thousand cows. They have barracks of Guatemalans to do the milking because locals won't do it 'round the clock for peanuts and one day off every two weeks.

The dairy involved in this spill will likly not be fined but will get a million dollar grant to install a state of the art manure handling system. That is what has been happening in the finger lakes area when there is a big spill. Could have been allowed to happen so they would get a grant.
