Show Notes
Residents near Salisbury, Maryland, celebrate a court victory against a controversial biorefinery. The facility, run by International BioRefineries, was shut down after a judge ruled it needed an industrial permit, not an agricultural one. Neighbors had fought the operation for nearly two years over smells and flies from chicken litter. The trouble started when the county approved what they thought was a farm storage barn, but it was an industrial biorefinery processing poultry waste. Locals reported health issues and property value drops due to odors and pests. The community rallied, raising funds for legal fees, and the biorefinery remains closed, but concerns about stockpiled chicken litter and risks to nearby water sources persist. Neighbors stand ready to keep fighting if needed.
