What is very interesting is the testimony of the DENR. On July 16, they testify in favor of Rick Millner, and on July 8th, they testified against him?
The Court found the environmental problems "serious" and "ongoing." However, geologist Jeanne Goodman of the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources testified on Millner's behalf to outline Millner's compliance with DENR orders, and that was enough to convince the judge that Millner's response to his environmental violations is sufficiently "appropriate and reasonable" to avert appointing a trustee.
The Court is mindful that in its July 8, 2010 motion seeking confirmation the automatic stay is not applicable to its waste water regulatory powers (doc. 261), South Dakota's Department of Environment and Natural Resources alleged:

Debtor has not taken the actions necessary to reduce the level of wastewater in its holding ponds or to ensure that it will reduce those levels within the time necessary in order to mitigate the possibility of a discharge this coming Fall or Winter. Rather, Debtor has increased the number of cattle being milked and water used, resulting in increased stress on the holding ponds and their storage capacity. . . . A failure or overflow of Debtor's wastewater holding ponds would result in an immediate and serious threat to public health.
