Lawsuit over feedlot near trout stream may proceed, judge rules
Cedar Rapids Gazette: A Polk County judge has ruled environmental groups may continue with a lawsuit against the Iowa Department of Natural Resources over the approval of an 11,600-head cattle feedlot in the watershed of a popular trout stream in northeast Iowa. District Judge Michael Huppert on Monday denied the state’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit the Sierra Club of Iowa filed in September against the DNR and Supreme Beef, the operator of the feedlot near Monona.
