The Southern District of California denied an egg farm’s request to dismiss a complaint against it purporting that the farm, Fluegge Egg Ranch in Valley Center, California and individuals associated with it, sends waste and water runoff through the plaintiff’s properties and into Moosa Canyon Creek after it is sent into the farm’s cement culvert.
The plaintiffs reportedly alleged that water quality tests of the culvert at Fluegge Egg Ranch contained pollutants including E.Coli, Enterococcus, Fecal Coliforms, and Total Coliforms. The plaintiffs included Randall Farrar, who is the trustee of the Minsuend Property Trust and the Mobile Home Park Trust UDT, and the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians. They said that the defendants violated the Clean Water Act (CWA), and reported that they sent notice of their intention to file the lawsuit in December 2019.
