Reaction to EPA Watershed Data
Thu, 09 Dec 2010 17:09:06 CSTRod Snyder, Director of Public Policy for the National Association of Corn Growers, says - if USDA's numbers are correct, agriculture has already significantly surpassed EPA targets for reductions in sediment and phosphorus.
National Pork Producers Association Chief Environmental Counsel, Michael Formica, says - the quest for more accurate data must begin immediately. Should EPA proceed without an unassailable data set in hand, all stakeholders in the Bay should question not only EPA's pollution assignments, but also its diet for cleanup.
American Farm Bureau Federation Senior Director of Regulatory Relations Don Parrish points out - it is critical for EPA to get the facts right including providing an accurate accounting for existing management and conservation practices before it imposes potential economic disaster on agricultural producers in the Bay watershed.
