Folks, there is 4,999 head hog confinement facility planned less than 3 miles from the Niobrara National Scenic River. We urge everyone to send a formal comment to the Nebraska Department of Water, Energy (DWEE). Note that formal comments must directly relate to the agency’s authority and must be received by July 31. See Friends of the Niobrara’s website for more information. Additional links are included in the comments.
