A 25,000-cow dairy farm near Hillsboro, ND, got approval with environmental safeguards, but faces opposition over pollution and water concerns.
A proposed 25,000-head dairy farm near Hillsboro, North Dakota, has received a CAFO permit from the NDDEQ after reviewing an application and public comments.
The permit requires a clay liner for manure storage, a nutrient management plan using nearby cropland, and excludes floodplain fields from use.
The NDDEQ will conduct regular inspections during construction and annually once operational, though it does not oversee water sourcing or site location.
Riverview LLP, the project developer, plans a similar dairy near Abercrombie.
While the agency cited collaboration and public input, environmental groups oppose the project, citing pollution risks to the Red River and Lake Winnipeg, water use concerns, and lack of notification.
The Dakota Resource Council plans to appeal the decision.
Final permit documents are available online.
