According to the permit approved by the state, the dairy would generate about 204 million to 235 million gallons of liquid manure and wastewater annually.

The Dakota Resource Council argues the dairy will threaten the Red River and Lake Winnipeg in Canada with nitrogen, phosphorus, bacteria, pathogens, pesticides and other pollutants.
