Cal-Maine Foods Inc., a major egg producer in the United States, has agreed to reduce its water pollution discharge in response to its Clean Water Act violations.
The agreement is part of a settlement with the US Department of Justice and the Environment Protection Agency. The settlement asks Cal-Maine to comply with Mississippi's water discharge permit.
The company released excessively nitrogen-rich waste water on fields during winter.
Its farms stoer animal wastes in huge tanks that usually leak during days with heavy rain. When these tanks leak, they release antibiotic residues and harmful bacteria that can contaminate water supplies.
