The
nonpartisan Iowa Policy Project issued a new report titled
"Concentrating
on Clean Water: The Challenge of Confined Animal Feeding Operations"
that outlines specific recommendations
for regulations and enforcement needed to protect Iowa's water.
"CAFOs
have in many cases contaminated water, and impaired water quality
[which] can lead to broader environmental, health and socioeconomic
problems. The range of scientific evidence means that Iowa policymakers
need to be paying closer attention," said Dr. Carol Hodne,
Iowa scholar and author of the report.
