This is comment on Proposed Rule

Extension of Public Comment Period for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Regulation and Effluent Limitation Guidelines for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations in Response to Waterkeeper Decision Proposed Rule

View Comment

NPDES Rule is supposed to protect our water, and this proposed change is in response to a court order that EPA is mandated to protect our water from agribusiness run-off--particularly manure. We need strenthened rules and regulations, not allowing more latitude in how much in the way of pathogens (bacteria, viruses, toxins) agribusiness can pollute. We need a STRONGER, not a weaker rule. The current proposal is so weak as to be meaningless. The people of the United States expect better.
