Tyson Foods and other poultry producers have approached a federal judge seeking the dismissal of his ruling which found them to be responsible for polluting an Oklahoma watershed.

A group of poultry producers, including the world’s largest, have asked a federal judge to dismiss his ruling that they polluted an Oklahoma watershed. Arkansas-based Tyson Foods, Minnesota-based Cargill Inc. and the others say in a motion filed Thursday that evidence in the case is now more than 13 years old. 'This case is constitutionally moot because the Court can no longer grant any effectual relief,' the companies argued in a filing with U.S.

The filing said Oklahoma conservation officials have noted a steady decline in pollution. It credited improved wastewater treatment plants, state laws requiring poultry-litter management plans and fewer poultry farms as a result of growing metropolitan areas in northwest Arkansas. A spokesperson for Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond did not immediately return a phone call for comment Saturday.
