Why DEQ trusted a Raleigh real estate agent with the site of a massive hog waste spill

Four years ago, millions of gallons of hog waste spilled from a Wayne County hog farm and into a nearby swamp. But this year, the same hog farm has continued to leak sludge into public waterways and violate its environmental requirements, racking up thousands in fines. The farm’s new owner, who bought it at auction in 2024, hasn’t paid any of these fines, nor has he submitted several requested reports to the state. In fact, the farm’s new owner has never run such a farm himself. He’s a Raleigh-based real estate agent named Wallace Green operating under the name Biox Renewables, a one-person limited liability corporation that has no website and no office. The farm, formerly called White Oak Farms, is home to an anaerobic digester — a device that captures the methane from hog manure and turns it into renewable energy. Businesses that own a farm with a digester are subject to supposedly strict permitting requirements. Green, however, has faced few consequences for failing to comply with those requirements. He doesn’t have any full-time employees overseeing the farm’s pits of hog waste. He’s over a year behind on submitting required documents to the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality, prompting

Early voting wraps up with strong turnout, long lines

Less than an hour before polls closed on the final day of early voting, a line of voters stretched out the door of the polling site at Braswell Memorial Library in Rocky Mount. Outside, volunteers handed out candy, greeted neighbors and kept the line moving. It was a scene repeated across Nash and Edgecombe counties Saturday as residents took advantage of their final opportunity to cast ballots before Election Day. By the time early voting concluded, Nash County had recorded 28,230 ballots cast during the early voting period while Edgecombe County reported 12,209 ballots cast at its three early voting sites. Combined, more than 40,000 voters in the two counties had already participated before Election Day arrived. County elections officials said Nash County's total exceeded expectations by roughly 4,000 votes compared with turnout patterns from the 2018 and 2022 midterm elections. But beyond the numbers, the final day of early voting revealed a deeper story about family traditions, civic duty and the people who make elections possible. Outside the Bailey polling location, one mother waited while her daughter cast her ballot. Voting, she explained, has always been a family affair. "I've always tried to bring the kids," she said. "I
