Rural Clean Water program pact aids farm pollution fixes
EPA and USDA reach agreement to implement a Rural Clean Water program under the 1977 Clean Water Act. The plan will provide cost sharing up to 50 percent for farmers adopting best management practices to reduce nonpoint pollution from pesticides, fertilizers, erosion, and animal wastes. Regular regulations and 208 plans guide actions, with funds authorized for fiscal 1979 and 1980.
