[QUOTE="Dave, post: 344282, member: 498"] The law is the clean water act. It is a federal law. It has been on the books since the early 70's. EPA enforces it but in lots of states they have given authority to a state agency. In the law the allowable discharge from agriculture is zero. Certainly every dairy, feedlot, large chicken and hog farm gets checked and is some cases very regularly. But I know of small back yarders getting run through the mill too. I mean as small as 3 head of beef. It is a matter of having animals that hang out in a creek or having runoff to a creek and have some reason that the enforcing people test the water quality of that creek. If the fecal bacteria come up high it is easy to trace it back up stream to the source. [/QUOTE]
