   We're very pleased , said Anthony Troy , a Richmond-based attorney representing Smithfield Foods. It appears the state's case is over..
   
   Indeed , the decision effectively ends almost five years of state and federal legal action against the world's largest pork processor for pollution and record-keeping infractions during much of the 1990s.
   
   However , just as one case is ending , another is brewing.
   ...
   Troy , the attorney for Smithfield Foods , had argued that a new trial would violate the civil equivalent of double jeopardy , or being tried twice for the same offense.
   
   David Botkins , a spokesman for Virginia Attorney General Mark Earley , said his boss was disappointed by the ruling but that , in a larger sense , justice prevailed.
   
   The bottom line is that Smithfield Foods no longer is polluting the Pagan River and that studies show the river is getting cleaner , Botkins said. Between us and the federal government , we've enforced the law..

   EPA knew all along that Smithfield had entered into a consent order [ with Virginia's State Water Control Board ] , said Anthony Troy , an attorney with Smithfield's counsel Mays & Valentine , LLP of Virginia.

   The [ Virginia ] Department of Environmental Quality urged Smithfield to connect to the planned HRSD pipeline , Troy said.
   ...
   Smithfield agreed to hook up to the HRSD pipeline , Troy said. As part of a consent order , the Virginia State Water Control Board set limits on allowable discharge of phosphorus , a chemical known to feed algae growth that consumes oxygen needed by the aquatic grasses that provide habitat for crabs and young fish. For nearly two decades the company has discharged wastewater from its pork plants into the Pagan River , which flows into the James River , a major tributary emptying into Chesapeake Bay.
   
   The Pagan River has been closed to shellfishing for 27 years because of high levels of fecal bacteria.
