CAFO stands for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation. They have a very large number of animals in a relatively small area. The main concerns are the pollution of the surrounding communities. Check back here for updates or the Opponents of Cooper County CAFOs Facebook page.
Here are some upcoming events if you want to be involved!

The CWC will be addressing pending motions and hearing from the attorneys for DNR and OCCC and make a decision to issue or deny the permit for Tipton East, based on the appeal. This is an important meeting. The CWC needs to see that our community is opposed to this operation being permitted without addressing the water contamination concerns in the immediate area of the planned construction. Please attend if at all possible. It should last 2 hours or less. Let me know if you need a ride. You will need to arrive by 8:30 to get parked and to the meeting on time. I don’t know the room number for the meeting. Just ask at the front desk.
