I, Veronica Lack support Bill Stowe's suit as the Cedar River Valley Aquifers that my farm's renter uses for Source Water Downstream on the other side of Iowa in Bremer County is being polluted by a bunch of polluting farmers in Cedar (W) Township Mitchell County Iowa. I'm trying to get access to IDNR private well test data partially published in a IDNR report obtained from Russ Tell in 2008 after Adam was murdered. Paul Johnson a former Director of the IDNR was starting to document this On-Going Mitchell County Pollution Plume from Mitchell County through Floyd County that the IDNR was allowing a group of farmers and their contractors to illegally drain a Designated National Wetland and about 3000 acres and the chemicals they applied on their Wetland down into our Source Water. This On-Going Point Source Pollution Plume from Mitchell County Iowa, into Floyd, Butler, and Bremer Counties' Aquifers has been tested and a small bit of data was released by the IDNR in that GroundWater Quality Response dated July 1999. It contains some of the Anhydrous Ammonia and CAFO nitrogen fertilizer bacteria, Nitrate, Nitrate-N, Ammonia-N, Organic-N, Acetochlor, Alachlor, Atrazine, Butylate, Cyanazine, Deisopropyl-atrazine, Deethyl-atrazine, Metotachlor, Metribuzin, and Trifluralin. About a month ago the Anhydrous Ammonia and CAFO Nitrogen fertilizer caused a Waterloo city well to be closed for the levels of high Nitrogen fertilizers. If the city of Waterloo could have been warned about this particular Pollution Plume before it contaminated one of their wells last month, they could have also known to test for other pollutants like we have been drinking and suffering from upstream.

If you are a farmer or use Bill Stowe's Waterworks Water as I do now in Waukee, after my son, Adam was killed by some of the group digging a mile long flood channel through my then Mitchell County farm in 2005 to drain farmland down sinkholes, even after they were denied a drainage outlet in 1991 by the Corps of Engineers for Cedar (W) Township, Mitchell County Iowa, go to the web site IowaColdCases.org and read my son Adam Michael Lack's Profile. It is titled "A Dead Zone Death". The reason we need access to all of our states' well test data bases including the private IDNR ones is so we can know what to test our Source Water for since more unsustainable farmers are allowed to break Iowa's Drainage Laws. We could then test our source water and if it tests positive for Anhydrous Ammonia, Bacteria, and the Atrazine, Lead or Arsenic, we should not Chlorinate, as the IDNR recommends for the CAFO bacteria, as that combination causes deadly decontaminants.
