The EPA reports nearly half of lake acreage in 34 states is polluted or likely to become so, with about one-fourth of over 12 million acres examined impaired. New York alone shows 295,332 impaired acres and 29,942 at risk. Industrial, agricultural runoff and sewage releases drive most pollution. A lawsuit accuses the EPA of failing to set national toxic-water standards.
