Iowa DNR Investigating Sioux County Manure Spill
HAWARDEN—DNR staff investigated a complaint of a manure spill northeast of Hawarden on Wednesday.
They traced the spill to a broken manure application hose which released an unknown, but significant, amount of manure early Wednesday morning. The manure flowed into an underground tile line, then into an unnamed stream moving several miles before entering Six Mile Creek, a tributary of the Big Sioux River.
Manure from the Van Voorst Dairy in Sioux Center was being land applied by Pro Pumping of Mitchell, S. D., when the hose broke. The applicator shut down the pumps after discovering the break.
DNR staff did not see any fish in the stream.
DNR will monitor cleanup and consider appropriate enforcement action.
Iowa Landowners Concerned About Proposed Transmission Line
LUXEMBURG, Iowa (AP) – Some Iowa landowners are worried about sharing their property against their will with a proposed 345-kilovolt transmission line.
The $500 million Cardinal-Hickory Creek project line would run
about 100 miles (161 kilometers) from Dubuque County to Dane County, Wisconsin. It is a joint undertaking of American Transmission Co., ITC Midwest and Dairyland Power Cooperative. The Iowa portion would course about 14.25 miles (22.9 kilometers) through Dubuque and Clayton counties.
The project organizers have obtained voluntary easements on 45 of the 53 necessary Iowa properties and intend to use eminent domain on the remaining eight if landowner agreements aren’t reached.
Luxemburg dairy farmer Michael Deutmeyer hasn’t granted an
easement, and he told the Telegraph Herald that he fears a line running through his property would harm its market value.

Senator Warren’s Staffer Dies From Auto Accident
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – A volunteer with Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren’s campaign has died in a western Iowa crash.
The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office says 22-year-old Zachary Crombie Presberg was killed Monday night when the car he was driving on U.S. Highway 6 collided with two trucks as he tried to pass one of them.
A statement from Warren’s campaign says Presberg joined the campaign this summer after graduating from Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin, to organize voter meetings and build relationships in Cass County. He continued his service to Warren’s campaign as a volunteer after his fellowship ended.
He was a native of Piedmont, California.
Warren said in the statement that she and her husband “are heartbroken over Zac’s passing” and added that “Zac represented the very best of us.”
