FARM BUREAU "DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED" IN JUDGE'S RULING
Sep. 16, 2013
Statement by American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman:
"The American Farm Bureau Federation is deeply disappointed with the district court's ruling upholding the Environmental Protection Agency's total maximum daily load for the Chesapeake Bay.
"We believe the ruling is incorrect and has huge implications for farmers and many others in the Bay area and nationwide.
"Win or lose in this lawsuit, farmers care deeply about our natural environment and want to do our part to improve water quality.
"But Congress did not authorize EPA to dictate how farmers, builders, homeowners, and towns would share the responsibility of achieving clean water. That is the states' job.
"We believe EPA's approach wrongly puts federal agency staff in charge of intensely local land use decisions.
"AFBF and our allies in this case are reviewing the decision and evaluating next steps."
