Fellow here in Minnesota had his hog pit 1/10 full, got a horrid heavy rain, like 11 inches. Made his pit run over into the creek, MDNR & MN EPA fined him pretty bad, the spill was big enough in total gallons to click him up into a bigger badder fine. But only 1/10 th of it was really hog manure, 90% was rainfall. Seemed like a harsh deal to me for what the situation was. Think it put him out of business, if my memory serves. Sometimes they work things out with the fellows as has been said. I agree anyone really pumping it into a waterway should have the book thrown at him. That happened somewhere in the state too - fellow was storing his dripping pump & pipe when the inspectors showed up, he was trying to say it was an accident - nothing looked broke, the tube track went straight to the creek.... He was intially fined, I hope that one stuck & no deals, never did hear more on that one. --->Paul
