Environmentalists on both sides of border fear impact of planned North Dakota dairy farms on Lake Winnipeg
Two massive dairy farms planned just south of the border in North Dakota could deliver a devastating blow to Lake Winnipeg and its already fragile ecosystem, environmental and animal advocates warned Wednesday. 'There's a need to really get the awareness out there,' said James Beddome, the former leader of the Green Party of Manitoba and current executive director of the Manitoba Eco-Network. Beddome said he doesn't think most Manitobans are aware of the plans, saying he learned of them in March. 'I'm hoping we are going to see Manitobans speak up and have their voices heard,' he said. 'It's going to take a community… a coalition to stop this.' The operations — one near Abercrombie Township south of Fargo, and another near Hillsboro south of Grand Forks — will generate hundreds of millions of litres of manure annually. That waste, advocates say, will flow upstream into the Red River, threatening to overwhelm one of the world's most endangered lakes and undo decades of restoration work. 'Between inexact manure-spreading protocols, vagaries of flooding, spring melts and heavy rains, nutrients and other pollutants will enter the Red River and proceed downstream, ultimately ending up in Lake Winnipeg,' Madeline Luke of the Dakota Resource Council in North Dakota said at The Forks Wednesday. Riverview LLP, a Minnesota-based company, is behind both projects. The Abercrombie facility — already permitted — will house 12,500 milking cows. The Hillsboro site, twice the size, is awaiting approval. To handle the waste, the farms plan to store manure in massive lagoons — equivalent in size to 52 Canadian football fields — and spread it once a year as fertilizer. But their proximity to the Red River and its tributaries puts surrounding waterways at risk if lagoons fail or overflow. 'Our North Dakota farms will be designed, built, and operated to protect surface waters and prevent water pollution,' a spokesperson for Riverview LLP said in an email Wednesday, adding the plans have been viewed and approved by North Dakota's Department of Environmental Quality. 'All manure will be collected and stored on-site in synthetically-covered lagoons for responsible land application on an annual basis. This manure will be tilled into the soil on surrounding farmland as organic fertilizer, which replaces commercial fertilizers that would otherwise be used on this land. 'Riverview's goal is to always be good neighbours, which includes farming in a manner that protects our shared water resources and the environment.' Luke, however, warned of real-world examples from other U.S. states, where storms or equipment failures have turned manure lagoons into environmental disasters, including flooding in Iowa last summer that breached manure pits and washed animal waste, bacteria, parasites, viruses and nitrates into nearby rivers. 'The same practices that make milk production profitable… also make it a perfect place for the spreading of viruses and, also, mutations,' she said. Luke emphasized the fact that pollution doesn't stop at the border, meaning potential problems in North Dakota are also problems in Manitoba. 'Lake Winnipeg is running out of time,' she said. The lake has long suffered from rising levels of phosphorus and nitrogen, fuelling toxic blue-green algae blooms and earning a reputation as one of the world's most threatened freshwater bodies. Luke joined members of the Coalition to Save Lake Winnipeg, Animal Justice, the Save Lake Winnipeg Project and the Manitoba Eco-Network in a meeting with provincial Environment and Climate Change Minister Mike Moyes. 'Minister Moyes was very receptive, actually — we were very impressed with how much he already knew and he asked really relevant questions,' said Vicki Burns, director of the Save Lake Winnipeg Project. 'But in a way, he has very little control. This requires input from the federal government in order to really urge the International Joint Commission to become involved.' The IJC, under the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909, established joint phosphorus loading targets in 2022. For the Red River, the target was set at 1,400 tonnes per year. But Manitoba's latest report shows that an average of 2,500 tonnes per year — nearly double the limit — is already coming from the U.S. Beddome said the IJC was sent a letter in April and has confirmed its engineers are reviewing the proposed farms. 'But we need public noise to push our politicians and push corporate stewards to be more responsible and hopefully push some action south of the border,' he said. Getting people to care south of the border is a difficult problem, said Luke, adding that water wells for Abercrombie residents will be immediately threatened, with seepage from the lagoon infiltrating within 18 months. 'One community (Abercrombie) has been fighting this very hard, while the other has welcomed it with open arms,' she said. The Hillsboro farm is expected to use a deeper aquifer, and there aren't as many people living close by, she said. Weekday Mornings A quick glance at the news for the upcoming day. Luke said North Dakota's government is in favour of the projects, as it wants to be a leader in dairy farming. A request for comment from the state was not returned Wednesday, nor were similar requests to the Canadian government or IJC. Burns, meanwhile, said two decades' worth of advocacy for Lake Winnipeg hasn't led to much progress. But she's not giving up. 'We're not at a point of no return, but there's no time to waste,' she said. Scott BilleckReporter Scott Billeck is a general assignment reporter for the Free Press.

MMF command centre gives evacuees ‘retail therapy'
A tired-looking man walked into the Manitoba Métis Federation's makeshift command centre for people displaced by wildfires with a simple request Friday afternoon. 'I just want to get settled in,' he told a group of volunteers that gathered around him at the building's entrance. The man arrived in Winnipeg earlier that day, one of more than 18,000 Manitobans who have had to flee their homes due to out-of-control wildfires across portions of the province. He knows he needs toiletries, and would appreciate a snack, but isn't sure what else he might need. A volunteer gestured toward the wall-to-wall piles of organized donations. 'Let's get you some retail therapy.' MIKE DEAL / FREE PRESS Kit Carleton a staff member at the Louis Riel Institute volunteers at the MMF's emergency centre. MIKE DEAL / FREE PRESS Kit Carleton a staff member at the Louis Riel Institute volunteers at the MMF's emergency centre. The building, at 406 McGregor St., thrums with activity. Thousands of donations fill every room and line the walls — food, drinks, stacks of folded clothes, books, baby formula, children's activities and hygiene products. In the back are some of the most hotly requested items: wheelchairs, walkers, baby chairs, strollers — assistive supports that people were forced to leave behind in the rush to get to safety. Volunteers of all ages run from room to room, helping visitors and organizing donations. In the front of the building, more immediate needs are met. Computers with Wi-Fi are arranged on a table for people to get online, a kids movie is projected on a rare empty wall, and colouring pages and toys are strewn about. Individual Saran-wrapped pieces of bannock with jam is popular with people walking in. The doors are open for any evacuee who needs it, Red River Métis or otherwise, and MMF-sponsored buses pick up people staying in hotels who may be short on essentials, or for those just looking for something to do. They're encouraged to take their time and browse — volunteers and organizers describe it as shopping, and a break from the emergency that's defined their lives for the last while. 'It's a little bit of normalcy, and it's a little bit of something that's pleasant and good and gives them some choices, in a world where they haven't had a ton of choices,' said MMF spokesperson Kat Patenaude, ho has also taken on a liaison role in wildfire support evacuee efforts.

Mandatory evacuation orders are in place for at least 27 communities in Manitoba. While some are staying with family or friends, others are in hotel rooms or staying on cots in evacuee shelters. Patenaude says hundreds of evacuees have passed through the doors in the weeks since the wildfires first broke out. When it became clear the MMF wouldn't have trouble soliciting donations or ensuring the needs of their membership were met, they began to strategize on how best to ensure people were getting the highest standard of care they could, with an Indigenous-led focus, said Stephanie Meilleur, the MMF's community resources department director. On the ground, it presents itself in different ways, she said: products for elders, mothers and infants stacked high, and hot cooked meals in the evenings consisting of staples like corn, fish, fry bread and soups — what someone visiting might have eaten at home. 'Evacuees are sitting in congregate shelters in other areas, and they're being fed pizza and Subway and foods that they are not used to, and they are looking for that Indigenous warm meal, and we are happy to provide those meals at supper time every night here,' she said.

There are still a few high-demand products the centre seeks, namely baby formula, suitcases and luggage, strollers, and grocery carts. Meilleur said that evacuations, and the wildfires themselves, remain unpredictable, and they're taking the level of need day-by-day. 'We are setting ourselves up to potentially be doing this long term. No one knows anything,' she said. Meanwhile, at Red River College Polytech, therapy dogs were brought in Friday — but not for stressed-out students. More than 100 evacuees were set to arrive at RRC Polytech's Notre Dame campus Friday, where a temporary shelter with 180 cots has been set up in the North Gym. The college has brought in counselors, and is making use of the educational tools at their disposal by offering tutoring services and programming for school-age evacuees. 'We're stepping up for whatever it is that the the evacuees need, we're going to be able to figure out a way to help them,' spokesperson Jodi Pluchinski said.

Winkler Mayor Henry Siemens said the entire city leapt to action when the province said evacuees could be sent their way. Within 24 hours, the building was filled with cots and basic supplies. Local businesses, religious organizations, and the neighbouring city of Morden reached out to ask how they could help. 'We mobilized extremely quickly,' Siemens said. Despite around 800 Manitoba evacuees having been sent to hotels in Ontario, Winkler's shelter remains empty. Siemens said around 40 evacuees are staying in hotels in the city. He knows that could change at a moment's notice, and said Winkler's emergency response team is on high alert. 'At this time, our facility is fully ready,' he said. 'We have everything in place.'
