MONTAGUE, Mich. (WOOD) — Community members are worried that waste from a proposed pig farm northwest of Montague could affect their water quality.
If approved, the Marsh Swine Farm would sit along W. Flower Road, just west of S. 56th Avenue in Oceana County’s Claybanks Township. That’s just a few miles from Lake Michigan and also near the Flower Creek watershed.
At a public hearing on a Michigan Department of Environmental Quality permit for the pig farm, community members were concerned about the safety of their water. They lobbed question after question at DEQ representatives, who said they had no reason to assume the pig farm would violate environmental regulations.
