SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A nonprofit group is urging metropolis leaders in Sioux Falls to place a moratorium on the development of a $600 million pork processing plant.
Citizens for a Sustainable Sioux Falls say the impacts of odor contamination, noise contamination, and site visitors congestion haven’t been sufficiently studied.
Much like Smithfield Foods in Sioux Falls, Wholestone Farms will deal with about 6 million hogs per 12 months.
Locally-owned Wholestone Farms says the plant’s design and odor is not going to be a hazard to the world’s high quality of life. Wholestone chairman Luke Minion says they’ve spent about $50 million on the most effective odor mitigation know-how.
