The head of the Environmental Protection Agency ruled
out for now regulating runoff from farms in the
Mississippi River basin, saying voluntary measures
should be given time to work.
Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson, who visited two Iowa
farms Tuesday with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack,
said she assured a gathering of agricultural leaders
that the agency had no plans to impose pollution
regulations like those being used to clean up Chesapeake
Bay.
"I am ruling out the need for us to move directly to
a regulatory mechanism when we have folks stepping up
and are willing to do the conservation measures," she
told reporters after the visits.
