Soon after this spill there were two more of lesser
magnitude. One from a hog operation and one from
a poultry farm.
The Raleigh News and Observer has been covering these
extensively. Their WWW server is http://www.nando.net.
On this server is a five part series they did recently
on hog farms in NC.
