Might want to add golf courses... Residential areas. Crops...
I agree with you.
I live just out of the restricted zone. This almost blame on the livestock/farmers/fields has me concerned. Not that those factors aren’t part of the problem, but why hasn’t it ALWAYS been a major problem? Why did this particular issue get pushed to the forefront following the EPA’s visit last week? Are they saying that the run off from fertilized landscapes and yards isn’t a factor? and as you stated: golf courses? Shoot, Ottawa Hills alone could supply a crop field with nitrogen.
Probably just the right combination of rain, lack of rain, runoff and temperature. It has been COLDER than usual for this time of year over this past week.
...and global warming.
Look for PETA and the Sierra Club to run on ad using this to scare up more fundraising.
