Winegrad: Report finds Maryland is lax in regulating poultry industry pollution

A new report, “Blind Eye to Big Chicken,” documents a near complete abdication by Maryland agencies of their responsibilities to enforce critical pollution control regulations to rein in massive poultry industry pollution. The report by the watchdog group Environmental Integrity Project (EIP) details how chicken growers continue to violate state laws with impunity regarding the handling of raw chicken excrement and polluting nutrients.
