Holy Cross- In a T-V Nine follow up, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources has issued a notice of violation to the Dyersville and Cedar Rapids Waste Treatment Plants.
Last week we told you some neighbors of the Wulfekuhl farm near Holy Cross complained the smell of human waste was making them sick.
The Wulfekuhl's use sewage sludge from the treatment plants as fertilizer.
Mike Wade from the D.N.R says the Wulfekuhls did nothing wrong.
Instead, it was the treatment plants that did not fill out the proper paper work to store the waste on the Wulfekuhl farm.
The D.N.R asked the Dyersville Plant to remove the sludge before October First.
