Seven Iowans have appealed state regulators’ determination to grant a water use allow to an 11,600-head northeast Iowa cattle feedlot.
An legal professional for the group, which has fashioned the Committee to Save Bloody Run, introduced the enchantment Monday.
The Iowa Division of Pure Assets earlier this month granted the water use allow to the feedlot, which is close to Monona and operated by Supreme Beef LLC. It was a renewal of a allow first issued in 2017.
Neighbors and environmental teams expressed issues that the feedlot will draw extra water than said in its allow renewal request.
The Committee to Save Bloody Run’s enchantment disputes assertions by Supreme Beef that its water use is not going to have an effect on Bloody Run Creek or different waterways within the area, and asks the state to revoke the water use allow.
