standing water at dairy

The Maya Dairy west of Shafter, at the corner of Wildwood and Riverside, has allowed water to accumulate around and through huge piles of manure. This has the potential to leach nitrates into ground water and air polluting gases (volatile organic compounds) into the air. Complaints have been filed with the Central Valley Regional Water Board via Cal EPA and with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Bakersfield office. There has been no rain in recent weeks.
