This pretty well summarizes the situation across the Midwest: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not regulate agricultural runoff, leaving such effluent to be governed by local (state) agencies whose philosophies and standards vary from state to state. State rules and enforcement are often lax, environmental policy experts assert, in part because pushback from agricultural lobbying interests, but also because of limited funding and staffing at regulatory agencies. In short: state legislatures and governors are afraid to stand up to the the Farm Bureau and commodity groups.
