Farms Must Be Exempted From Emission Rules

[Aliantha]

There must be provisions for the dumping of manure from factory farms surely.

With regard to the actual intent of the thread (from what I can tell anyway). Just about anything can be a pollutant if it's in the wrong place at the wrong time, just as any plant can be a weed if it grows where you don't want it.

If I had my way, I would take all the shitty effluent from factory farms to big algae ponds in the desert, use the shit as fertiliser to grow algae, and produce biodiesel as a by-product.

Where's there's muck there's brass.

What is a pollutant is on a list. A list that factory farms want to exempted from. Where a pollutant can and cannot be (using numbers) is also defined. Manure is not dumped. It is processed. But some would 'accidentally' dump it. Clearly the State of Oklahoma must be wrong. Clearly no contaminated cauliflower last year was sickening people.

There must be provisions for the dumping Aliantha's shit somewhere? Really?
