As fecal waste and bacteria flow from hog lagoons into the water supply, North Carolina is revisiting a contentious battle between the pork industry, health experts and environmentalists.
In regions where hog farm density is high, there is an overall poor sanitary quality of surface waters. The presence of mass-scale swine and poultry lots and processing plants in a sandy floodplain – a region once dotted by small tobacco farms – has long posed a difficult dilemma for a state where swine and poultry represent billions of dollars a year for the economy.

Following Hurricane Matthew, the department has counted 10 to 12 lagoons that were inundated, with floodwaters topping the berms and spreading diluted waste.

Wow, such a devastating crisis! President Biden alerted the nation with "Code Red" as this is a direct effect of climate change. You should check out my scoop.it post as it relates to community outreach and coastal resiliency. Louisiana and surrounding states need diverse feedback in order to resolve their coastal issues. My heart goes out to all of the families that lost not only their loved ones but their entire livelihood.
