Deadline extended on hog-farm tests

The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality has extended the deadline for submitting questions regarding test results at C&H Hog Farms in Mount Judea.

The department will now accept questions through noon Dec. 16. The previous deadline for questions was Friday.

"This will provide additional time to develop informed questions," according to a post on the department's website. "We will respond to questions at a reasonable time both during and after the question period."

The department has not released its conclusion on the research done by contractor Harbor Environmental, which sought to determine through drilling into the ground and taking samples whether hog manure ponds at C&H were leaking.

The test results were unveiled Dec. 1.
