N.M. Regulators Approve Dairy Settlement

From cbsnews.com -New Mexico water regulators on Wednesday adopted a settlement that puts to rest a dispute over the regulation of millions of tons of waste produced each year by the state's $2.6 billion dairy industry. The dairy rule was first approved by the commission last year in the final month of former Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson's administration. It was meant to protect New Mexico's groundwater from dairy discharges, but the industry appealed and months of negotiations ensued.  More News New Mexico
