INDIANAPOLIS (AP): An environmental group is concerned that Indiana could become a dumping ground for out-of-state manure despite regulations proposed by officials.

State environmental officials are proposing new rules for satellite manure storage structures, which accept livestock waste from off-site farms, some of which could be trucked in from other states.

The manure is stored in lagoons called satellite manure storage structures until it can be used as fertilizer. But The Indianapolis Star reports (http://indy.st/1CzJB8G) that the Hoosier Environmental Council says the proposed rules don't go far enough. The group warns Indiana could open its doors to millions of gallons of manure that could pollute waterways and create a stench that would make life in nearby towns unbearable.

The Indiana Environmental Rules Board will hold a hearing on the issue Wednesday.
