Meadow Gold Dairy patrols
for drainage toxin problems
By Todd Anderson
Assignment Reporter
Meadow Gold Dairy is continu
ing to monitor its drainage systems
after its Lincoln plant was identi
fied as a possible source of toxic
chemicals in Salt Creek last
October.
Howard Gardner, a representa
tive of Meadow Gold in Utah, said
Meadow Gold employees were
watching the drainage system
closely to identify possible prob
lems and to 'prevent any future
leakage.
Late last, September, the
Lincoln/Lancaster County Health
Department discovered toxic mate
rial had been released into Salt
\ Creek.
Bill Pugsley, assistant chief of
the environmental health division
of the health department, said the
toxins caused the deaths of several
thousand fish.
The health department immedi
ately removed the toxic material, at
a cost of nearly $12,000, Pugsley
said.
Based on the investigation con
ducted by the health department
and the Department of Public
Works, the health department
believes the toxic material was
inadvertently released from the
Meadow Gold Dairy plant at 726 L
St.
Milk products and cleaning
solutions were discovered beneath

We’ve been here a

be a good neighbor.”
Howard Gardner
Meadow Gold employee
the Meadow Gold plant in a storm
drain that runs into Salt Creek.
Gardner said Meadow Gold
was not aware the connections to
the storm drain existed.
The health department notified
Meadow Gold of the possible con
nections in late October, though it
was never able to confirm the leak
age came from the plant, he said.
However, in an effort to cooper
ate with the health department,
Meadow Gold contributed approx
imately $7,500 to pay for the
cleanup, Pugsley said.
In addition, he said, Meadow
Gold has agreed to monitor its
drainage system.
While no further problems have
arisen, the plant is continuing to
look for connections, Gardner said.
“We want to make sure this
never happens again,” he said.
“We’ve been here a long time
and we want to continue to be a
good neighbor.”
