Join us Tuesday, January 4th at 7 pm CT two days before “Save Bloody Run” goes to court to learn the latest updates from Steve Veysey about the efforts to protect Bloody Run Creek in Northeast Iowa.
The creek is one of Iowa's protected "Outstanding Waters" and yet is the site of a 11,600 head confinement beef operation progressing with questionable or even illegal state oversight. Steve, who has a long history challenging water quality policy and protocols, is one of the core "radicals" in a group known as the “Committee to Save Bloody Run.” You will also learn what you can do to help SAVE BLOODY RUN!
Steve will fill us in on the details of Supreme Beef’s facility and their blatantly flawed Nutrient Management Plan. The feedlot expansion is sited in Iowa’s delicate karst topography and evidence suggests that state officials, elected and otherwise, are facilitating an environmental pass that will result in the degradation of Bloody Run. If we can’t SAVE Bloody Run, a state - designated outstanding water, is there any hope for water quality in Iowa and beyond?
Besides being an avid angler, Steve has an extensive background in water quality policy issues. He retired from Iowa State University as the manager of the Chemical Instrumentation Facility and has spent the past 25 years working to improve water quality in Iowa. He is best known for efforts related to development and implementation of proper Clean Water Act standards for Iowa. He brings a strong science background and a willingness to understand “the devil in the details” of water quality standards and AFO regulations.
