Kansas and Nebraska to meet over atrazine in Blue River Basin
Kansas and Nebraska officials plan a May 19 meeting in Lincoln to discuss cutting atrazine pollution from Turtle Creek Lake, a drinking water source for Manhattan and nearby cities. Officials say rainfall runoff carries the weed killer from fields into tributaries feeding the lake, with readings up to 8-9 ppb versus EPA’s 3 ppb limit, and note similar basin-wide efforts could help Perry Lake and Lake Milford.
