Three opponents of a proposed poultry farm in southwest Lancaster County have notified the county they plan to appeal a decision to allow it.E. Jane Egan, Janis Hewlett and Ken Tesar filed a "notice of appeal" last week with the Lancaster County Clerk.According to the notice, the three are seeking to appeal the decision in Lancaster County District Court, alleging the Lancaster County Board's approval of the poultry operation was "contrary to applicable state law and local regulations> and contrary to the facts and the evidence."[…]Opponents cited a number of potential concerns, including odor, water contamination and damage to area roads from trucks needed to transport the birds.Officials from Lincoln Premium Poultry, a Georgia-based Costco subsidiary that is managing the processing plant and contracting with the individual producers, have said the plant will use modern technology that will eliminate odors and greatly reduce the chance of any water contamination.
