BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) Alabama authorities have ordered an out-of-state company to stop spreading poultry waste at one of its operations amid complaints about the odor.
Environmental groups have also expressed concerns about the waste which is spread as fertilizer reaching a fork of the Black Warrior River. Regulators say they found no evidence that the waste had reached nearby streams.
The waste was being spread at an old coal mine north of Birmingham, Al.com reported.
The Alabama Department of Environmental Management late Wednesday ordered Arkansas-based Denali Water Solutions to stop spreading the waste.
