TL;DR:
A southwest Missouri river already contaminated with E. coli could soon receive up to 350,000 gallons of wastewater daily from a meatpacking facility.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If the meatpacking facility is treating it’s water appropriately and the water quality is getting regularly tested as I imagine it would be then it’s entirely possible that the meat packing plant could actually improve the quality of the water. Whether or not that will actually happen is another matter, but it’s not cause for immediate doomerism.
