South Medina Drain 
Images of a Suffering Stream - 2002-2006

This stream was added to Michigan's 303(d) list of "impaired waters" in 2004 after multiple liquid manure discharges from Vreba-Hoff CAFO. Recently, spring 2006, it's been flowing red. Previously, it's flowed brown, gray, yellow, black, green. When will DEQ test the water? When will Michigan stop CAFO pollution and require remediation?
