Cow manure taints local creek

Posted on July 11, 2012July 11, 2012

BROKEN BOW, Neb. (AP) — A feedlot near Broken Bow has agreed to pay a $145,000 fine for allowing water tainted with cattle manure to flow into a nearby creek.

The Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday that Adams Land and Cattle Company didn’t have enough storage capacity to prevent wastewater from flowing into a tributary of Mud Creek. EPA officials estimate that large rain events would have caused the feedlot’s wastewater to flow into the creek on at least 13 occasions between 2007 and 2010.

The feedlot had about 83,000 cattle when the problem was discovered during a December 2010 inspection. The EPA says Adams Land and Cattle is now in compliance with Clean Water Act rules.

Hydro power regulatory act to help power producers in Nebraska

Posted on July 11, 2012

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Rep. Adrian Smith of Nebraska is lauding the passage of a hydropower regulatory act in the House that includes a measure he says will help rural power producers in Nebraska and other states.

Smith, a Republican, and Rep. Jim Costa, a Democrat from California, introduced a measure to exempt hydropower projects generating less than 1.5 megawatts from federal permitting rules.

The Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act, passed Monday, increases the exemption level from 1.5 megawatts to 5 megawatts.

Smith says the legislation would allow irrigation districts and municipalities to partner with local power districts to generate up to 5 megawatts of existing conduit hydropower without going through the federal permitting and exemption process, which he called “lengthy and burdensome.”

Mayor credit decrease in traffic crashes to safety improvements

Posted on July 11, 2012

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A new report says the number of traffic crashes in Lincoln declined in 2010, despite an increase in residents and registered vehicles.

Mayor Chris Beutler said Tuesday that 7,710 crashes were reported in 2010, down from 7,738 the previous year. He credited the city’s transportation safety improvement program, which includes efforts to re-engineer streets and increase traffic enforcement.

The report says drivers in Lincoln faced the greatest crash risk in January, during Friday afternoon rush-hour traffic. Rear-end collisions were most common, accounting for 30 percent of all crashes.

The report also says the number of bicycle crashes rose slightly, to 140, while the number of pedestrian crashes dropped to 72. City officials say both have trended downward over the last two decades.

Road work scheduled for U.S. Highway 34

Posted on July 11, 2012

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Resurfacing work has been scheduled for a stretch of U.S. Highway 34 in eastern Nebraska.

The Nebraska Roads Department says the work will begin on Monday and take about three days. The area affected is about five miles west of Union.

The department says traffic will be reduced to one lane, so flaggers and a pilot vehicle will be employed.

Gonzalez Hitless, But NL Wins Big

Posted on July 10, 2012

Carlos Gonzalez went 0-for-2 in his All-Star Game debut, but the National League didn’t need a contribution from the Colorado Rockies’ lone All-Star. The senior circuit scored five runs in the first inning and three more in the fourth on their way to a 8-0 victory in the 83^rd Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Kaufmann Stadium in Kansas City. Gonzalez led off the game as the starting designated hitter for the National League. In his first at-bat, he struck out swinging against Detroit Tiger ace Justin Verlander. After his team batted around in the first frame, Gonzalez led off the second inning and grounded out to first against Texas’ Joe Nathan. After a day off today, the baseball season resumes tomorrow. Gonzalez and the Rockies begin their second half on Friday, when they open a three-game series at home against the Philadelphia Phillies.
