One of northwest Ohio's manure investigations executed in Williams County
One of northwest Ohio’s largest manure-management investigations has been under way in Williams County for weeks, and it involves both the Ohio Department of Agriculture and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Directors from both agencies have told The Blade the case appears to either be headed toward resolution soon or else for an enforcement action that could result in hefty fines or legally binding orders. The goal is to protect vulnerable waterways, including Fish Creek, the St. Joseph River, and the Maumee River.

Sixteen facilities have been investigated, 10 of which have been found to be improperly managing manure or having other issues related to livestock operations, ODA Director Brian Baldridge said.
