Thank you for writing this to the local paper. I wish that more people would understand the gravity of this spill and demand that the DNR check all fertilizer plants. Yes, that takes lots of money, but according to the governor and her lackeys in state government, we have a huge surplus of money. Why not spend it wisely to protect all species of life in Iowa.
I worry that inadequate berms and poor safety rules (especially for anhydrous, more than liquid N) are huge issues all across the Midwest, not solely in Red Oak. The same goes for safety surrounding all pesticides. Yes, if only the political will were stronger!
