LEWISTON, Minn. – The Daley dairy farm, already the largest in Winona County, has run into a glitch with its application to state environmental regulators to double its herd. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency told the Daleys that an error had been discovered in the agency’s application form for a permit. Not until the error is fixed can the Daley application be considered – and even then the Daleys will need to refile from scratch. Uncertain is whether all this relates to new federal pressure on the MCPA and other state agencies to clean up oersistent groundwater contamination in southeast Minnesota. The U.S. Environmental Agency has clamped down on many years of lax state regulation.
