EPA sets rule limiting manure fertilizer for farms
The plan requires a written rule by December 31 2006 and state approval thereafter. NRDC attorney Melanie Shepherdson criticizes the rule for leaving too much state discretion enabling polluters to move operations to lax jurisdictions. The rule follows a 1992 settlement aimed at reducing industrial water pollution tied to agricultural runoff and notes that manure can harm rivers and create the Gulf dead zone while containing nutrients, pathogens, salts, and heavy metals.
