Kaul reaches $242K settlement on manure spills
April 26, 2021 10:50 AM Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. (AP) Attorney General Josh Kaul has reached a $242,000 settlement to resolve pollution violations resulting from manure spills in 2017 and 2019.
The state Justice Department announced the settlements with K&D Manure Handling, Inc. and Wild Rose Dairy LLC on Monday. They were brokered earlier this month.
State attorneys alleged K&D and Wild Rose caused spills in Otter Creek in Vernon County, resulting in fish kills. They also alleged K&D caused a spill in Bostwick Creek in La Crosse County, causing another fish kill.
Republicans passed a lame-duck law in 2018 that requires Kaul to get legislative approval before signing off on settlements, but DOJ officials said the law wasn’t triggered because the settlements were reached before lawsuits were filed.

Kevin D. Hintz, and Wild Rose Dairy, LLC (Wild Rose Dairy), requiring them collectively to pay $242,000 to resolve violations of Wisconsin’s wastewater and hazardous substance spills laws.
The settlement resolves violations arising from three manure spills that caused fish kills in high-quality trout streams, Otter Creek in Vernon County and Bostwick Creek in La Crosse County. The settlement includes $126,000 in total to be paid to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the trout killed by the manure spills and lost fishing opportunities for the public. The settlement was approved by the Vernon County Circuit Court on April 21, 2021 and the La Crosse County Circuit Court on April 19, 2021.
