The Iowa DNR issued a press release earlier this week, saying that on March 11, New Cooperative in Red Oak, Iowa, notified the DNR of a release on-site early Monday morning.
Approximately 1,500 tons of liquid nitrogen fertilizer (32% solution) discharged into a drainage ditch, then into the East Nishnabotna River. The release occurred due to a valve left open on an aboveground storage tank overnight.
