Iowa’s Environmental Protection Commission recently rejected permits for two hog operations that had previously been approved.

The permits for the two operations, each designed to hold 7,440 hogs, had previously been accepted for approval by Iowa’s Department of Natural Resources and had passed a complicated master matrix.
