• Ruling calls for environmental reviews, prior public notice Oklahoma Ecology Project A Delaware County District Court Judge has ruled that the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry irresponsibly allowed large poultry farms to be built in a sensitive watershed without proper environmental review or advance public notice. Tulsa-based Indian Environmental Law Group representing Spring Creek Coalition, a group of landowners along one of the state’s last “pristine” category Ozark streams, sued the agency over those very points after it allowed several “megafarms” to be built within the watershed starting in 2018.
