Legal Question in Environmental Law in Iowa

I live in a small rural town of 250 people in central Iowa. A grain co-op built a 600,000 bushel storage bin a block from my from my front porch. The noise from the fans keep me from getting a good night sleep. They run the fans 24/7 when there is a �hot spot� in the corn. Since Christmas, it has not run very often but has for the last 48 hours and sleep is very hard to get. The city council likes the co-op because of the tax revenue. During fall harvest last year, the co-op had the fans running and also a new dryer. The noise was very bad. What action can I take to lessen the noise from the co-op?

I really don't have any good answers for you. You might be able to litigate a nuisance lawsuit if you and your neighbors have deep pockets to pay someone to do it, but that's about it.
