Dozens of Iowa residents, lawmakers and environmental groups want the state s natural resources director to review a decision to allow a cattle feedlot near an environmentally sensitive creek in northeast Iowa.
Along with 47 state lawmakers, residents and groups representing environmental, fishing, water quality and outdoor interests filed the request Tuesday. They are mostly from Iowa, but also include interests from Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin.
They want Kayla Lyon, director of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, to order a departmental evaluation of the Supreme Beef project, an 11,600-head open lot cattle feeding operation near the headwaters of Bloody Run Creek in Clayton County.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has just approved the nutrient management plan for a new 11,600-head open cattle feedlot near Monona, Iowa according to The Gazette. The feedlot will be run by Supreme Beef which is privately owned by Mike Walz, Dean Walz and Jared Walz. This project was initially started in 2017 but stalled out after environmental violations, a good deal of opposition from neighbors and legal issues with former business partners.

Environmental groups are not pleased with the decision. In 2018, the DNR fined what was then known as Walz Energy $10,000 for violations relating to storm water runoff violations. This feedlot certainly wasn t without hurdles.
