Abercrombie Dairy Approved by State of North Dakota – KVRR Local News
The contentious project now has the backing of a state agency.
ABERCROMBIE, N.D. – An extremely controversial proposal for a dairy farm has gotten approval from the state of North Dakota.
The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality announced today that they are issuing a state animal feeding Operation permit to Riverview ND LLP, for Abercrombie Dairy, which will be a large Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation in Richland County.
Many Abercrombie residents have been opposed to the 90 million dollar facility since the beginning.
They fear that the operation could sully the area’s groundwater.
Additionally, many are uncomfortable with the idea of living so close to a facility that is sure to bring a lot of noise and disruption.
The NDDEQ says that they have reviewed and responded to all public comments, and those responses are now available online, alongside a detailed information package.
