Description
Feb. 29 on The Story: Over the last few months, The Story has reported on groundwater contamination in Morrow and Umatilla counties in our "Tainted Waters" series. The problem of nitrates seeping into residents' wells is one the state of Oregon has known about for three decades, but progress toward a meaningful fix has been slow — and even that is probably a generous description. So instead of waiting around even longer for action, residents are taking matters into their own hands. They've filed a class action lawsuit against the Port of Morrow, large commercial farms and a confined animal feeding operation.
