flag North Dakota faces legal action over a large dairy farm permit, citing unassessed pollution risks to water quality.

flag The Dakota Resource Council has sued North Dakota over a permit for a 25,000-cow dairy farm in Traill County, arguing regulators failed to properly assess pollution risks from manure containing nitrogen, phosphorus, pathogens, and pharmaceuticals. flag The project, led by Minnesota-based Riverview ND LLP, is under construction near the Red River, raising concerns about water quality and cross-border impacts on Lake Winnipeg. flag Manitoba officials and the International Joint Commission have called for a review, while a separate legal challenge questions whether drainage ditches require state permits. flag The lawsuit follows a previous dismissal due to procedural errors, and a hearing is set for the drainage dispute. flag Riverview maintains the farm complies with environmental standards and supports local agriculture.
