Background on Oklahoma's Environmental Issue

Farmers and producers doing business in Oklahoma and Arkansas are under fire by governmental agencies and such litigation can easily spread nationwide. Creative Chicken Corporation can put a halt to this situation with sufficient funding to establish plants nationally and internationally. This is a win-win proposition whereby Creative Chicken Corporation and its investors can earn a tremendous ROI while helping the environment and poultry producers/farmers.

The chicken-litter lawsuits in OK and AR are well known to their residents. For those who are not aware of this situation, we provide the following. The original problem is best described in this excerpt from a news release on the website of the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office website dated 02/21/2006:

“After almost four years of fruitless negotiations, Oklahoma last June files a federal lawsuit against 14 poultry companies to put an end to the pollution their operations have caused in the Illinois River watershed and Lake Tenkiller. The suit alleges that the poultry companies are legally responsible for the pollution that is caused by runoff from improper land application and storage of hundreds of thousands of tons of poultry waste. These improper poultry waste disposal practices violate federal and state environmental statutes and common law.

"The main pollutant is phosphorus, but unprocessed poultry manure used for fertilizer also can contain hazardous substances such as arsenic, copper and zinc."

"Arkansas Attorney General, in defense of the poultry companies tried unsuccessfully to convince the federal court that (in essence) poultry waste was not a pollutant."

"The Oklahoma Attorney General pushed hard to convince the Supreme Court not to recognize Arkansas Attorney General’s request to have the court view poultry manure as not something to be covered under the Superfund Laws."

"The Supreme Court responded by telling the [Arkansas] Attorney General what he should have already known that Arkansas poultry companies cannot exempt themselves from federal pollution laws."
