Poultry Litter Settlement: Oklahoma AG Gentner Drummond announced a nearly $44 million deal ending a 21-year Illinois River watershed lawsuit against Tyson, Cargill, George’s, Peterson Farms, Cal-Maine and Simmons Foods, with $41.671 million going to an Environmental Relief Fund and enforceable steps to progressively cut poultry litter applied in the watershed over seven years. Water & Land Protection: The agreement also includes penalties, funding for an independent compliance monitor, and limits on where exported litter can be applied—aimed at reducing runoff impacts. Native Lands & Data Centers: A new report says big tech is mapping dozens of data center projects near Native American tribal lands, with federal policy pushing faster development and raising concerns about water, power, and sovereign permitting. Oil Spill Accountability: A proposed settlement would require the Keystone Pipeline operator to pay a $26.9 million civil penalty and spend about $40 million more to prevent future accidents after a 2022 Kansas crude spill. Public Health Alert: CDC reports West Nile virus is starting earlier and spreading wider than in decades, with no vaccine and mosquito bite prevention as the main defense. Wildlife & Community: ODWC opened an online auction of surplus vehicles and equipment, with proceeds supporting fish and wildlife conservation.
