摘要

The agriculture industry is attacking the assumptions underlying EPA's first-time draft survey of water quality conditions of major rivers and streams, saying the report - which claims resources are "under significant stress" due to excess levels of nutrients and other pollutants - cherry-picks "pristine" baseline conditions not achievable in areas with even minimal human impact. "They found the least impacted streams they could find," and used them as benchmarks, setting an unrealistic standard for waterbodies that have experienced even minor impacts due to human activity, an industry source says. "They say there's a big distinction between the 'least-impacted' waters" used for the study and "pristine" waterbodies, the source says, but "I don't see it."
