flag Environmental groups sue Vorsteveld Farm over unpermitted pesticide discharge into Dead Creek, violating the Clean Water Act.

flag Environmental groups plan to sue Vorsteveld Farm in Panton, Vermont, over alleged Clean Water Act violations, claiming the dairy farm discharged pesticides—atriazine and clothianidin—into Dead Creek via unpermitted drainage systems. flag Water tests showed clothianidin in 99% of samples and atrazine levels 50 times above safe limits. flag The farm, which recently expanded and produces millions of gallons of manure annually, has not responded to requests for comment. flag The groups demand a federal pollution permit and corrective actions, while the state reviews the case. flag This follows prior environmental violations and a recent court finding of contempt.
