MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin regulators have issued a wastewater permit that limits expansion plans for a factory farm in Door County. S & S Jerseyland Dairy based in Sturgeon Bay asked the state Department of Natural Resources in 2017 for permission to increase its herd from about 5,000 cows to about 10,000 cows. The DNR issued a final permit on June 30 that limits the expansion to about 7,380 cows. The operation also must submit a groundwater monitoring plan and install monitoring wells at its production area. The farm won’t have to monitor groundwater in areas where it spreads manure. Midwest Environmental Advocates, an environmental law firm, had raised concerns about the expansion possibly causing groundwater pollution.
