Proposed manure storage facility faces scrutiny
VAN WERT —A proposed manure storage pond in Van Wert County has raised concerns among local residents, who argue that its location poses a risk to a crucial water aquifer and is too close to the river supplying drinking water to the nearby city of Delphos. The Ohio Department of Agriculture held a public meeting Wednesday evening at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds to discuss a draft Permit to Install for Triple R Farms, the swine finishing facility behind the proposal.
