Beef plant legislation sent to SenatePIERRE, S.D. (AP)--A beef plant being built at Aberdeen may be allowed to dispose of its wastewater by supplying it to farmers who irrigate their corn. A bill permitting Northern Beef Packers to do that without getting special permission later from the Legislature cleared the House 67 to 1 Feb. 11, sending the plan to the Senate. South Dakota voters approved a ballot measure in 1990 that requires the Legislature to decide if disposal plans for large amounts of waste, including wastewater, are environmentally safe and in the public interest. HB1148 would exempt the NBP plant from that mandate. 2/25/08 Date: 2/20/08
