Factory farmers have a problem disposing of animal waste. The factory farmers keep the animal waste in "lagoons" until it can be used as fertilizer. Storms can wash away the animal waste that farmers store in lagoons. This could contaminate water with bacteria, hormones, nutrients, antibiotics, and toxic chemicals. The EPA stated that animal waste has polluted 35,000 miles of rivers and has contaminated groundwater in seventeen states.
