Vilsack Pitches 13.9 Million Plan to Clean Iowa Water
Gov Tom Vilsack unveiled a 13.9 million program to enlist farmers in voluntary conservation practices to curb agricultural runoff. He seeks 11 million in infrastructure funds and 2.86 million from the fish and wildlife fund to expand buffers and water monitoring after the EPA labeled 159 Iowa waters impaired. Local officials note funding limits while aiming to boost buffer acreage toward 500000 by 2005.
