Something tells me this isn't so much about "water quality"....
I read that too...exemption for agriculture... and got curious enough to try to find the 342D-8, 342-e,342-b, etc. that it kept referring to. I can't find it now and maybe I was looking at the wrong item 342 (please someone else check this out); but what I found was a water quality fund set up years ago to accept (this year) 11.1 million in federal funds;that require state matching funds of (I think it was 16%). It seemed to me that all this water quality money has to be raised in order to get that federal money. Sorry I can't refer or link to what I found, but I'd sure be inerested to see the right 342 that's referred to in this bill. anyone?
