In fact, manure lagoons are fuller than they previously were and continue to overflow, the Oregon Department Justice told a Multnomah County judge Friday.“As of today there are still some pretty serious concerns,” state lawyer Nina Englander said.On Aug. 24, Judge Kelly Skye found Lost Valley Farm owner Greg te Velde in contempt of court for not complying with a legal settlement meant to stop the environmental violations.She ordered the Oregon Department of Justice to work with te Velde to come up with a plan by Friday for curing the problems.
