Poultry companies ask judge to dismiss ruling that they polluted an Oklahoma watershed

FILE - A Tyson food product is seen in Montpelier, Vt., Nov. 18, 2011. The world's largest poultry producer and other poultry companies are asking a federal judge to dismiss his ruling that they polluted an Oklahoma watershed. Arkansas-based Tyson Foods, Minnesota-based Cargill Inc. and the others say in a motion filed Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023, that the case is constitutionally moot because the evidence is now more than 13 years old.

The filing said Oklahoma conservation officials have noted a steady decline in pollution. It credited improved wastewater treatment plants, state laws requiring poultry-litter management plans and fewer poultry farms as a result of growing metropolitan areas in northwest Arkansas. “The Court’s findings and conclusions rest upon a record compiled in 2005–2009,” the poultry companies' motion stated. “When this Court issued its findings and conclusions ... much of the record dated from the 1990s and early 2000s.”
