N.C. TO SMITHFIELD: WASTE NOT WANTED

North Carolina officials say Smithfield Foods must meet stringent waste discharge standards if the Virginia-based company builds a slaughterhouse on the lower Cape Fear River. The North Carolina Department of Environmental Management's Water Quality Section said Wednesday there isn't room to dispose of more waste there.

Smithfield Foods has threatened to move its entire operation from Virginia to North Carolina to avoid new, tougher water pollution measures in Virginia. - Associated Press
