Mike McClure Farms in Hopkins County, Texas, has been issued a directive by the Environmental Protection Agency for breaching the federal Clean Water Act, according to a news report.
The poultry broiler facility which comes under the purview of Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board, was cited for releasing chicken litter from the farm's poultry litter staging area on three instances.
The staging area drains into a wetland that is connected to Stouts Creek. The farm has been ordered to build a covered shed for staging and storing poultry litter and check any unauthorized discharge.
A plan for the construction of the shed is to be submitted to the EPA within 45 days.
