Rhiannon Bowlin (top) leads a chant Tuesday as residents demonstrate near the corner of Garland Avenue and Maple Street on the campus of the University of Arkansas. The demonstration was to bring attention to the permit that the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality issued to C&H Hog Farm, a 6,500-animal hog farm under construction on a tributary of Big Creek, which feeds into the Buffalo River. For a related report, turn to today’s Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s business section. To see a video form the event got to nwaonline.com/xx/videos/2013/ apr/23/8862.
