Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus proposes strict enforcement of the 160 acre limit and a 50 mile neighborhood residence rule on federally irrigated lands across 17 Western states. The move targets 1,047,000 irrigated acres, chiefly in California's Westlands District and Imperial Valley, amid long running lawsuits and activist advocacy led by Dr. Paul S. Taylor and Dr. Ben Yellen.
