But with the proposed bill, the
biggest'concems are the nonpoint
sources, including nitrogen from
either commercial or animal fertil
izer. The environmental groups
claim farmers are the culprits, even
though there is evidence that a big
nonpoint source contributor has
been sewage treatment facilities
that need upgrading, in addition to
golf courses and lawn care
systems.

Stawick, the committees in Con

The Senate bill, which may
combine with a similar bill under
House review, may mandate stric

several ways from the current, vol

But NCGA and the coalition
insists that the voluntary program,
in place since 1987, is “not bro

Congress authorized
aboutsl3o million to be
spent last year, but to
implement the authori
zation, only $BO million
was actually appro
priated, said Stawick.
Most years, only about
$5O million is appro
priated, which amounts
to about $1 million per
state not enough
funds to make the prog
ram work.
He said that is more
money was appro
priated, the incentive
would be there, in addi
tion to the expertise and
material, to conduct the
educational programs
and cost-sharing that
has proven effective.
The proposal that has
the most chance of pass
ing is the one under
review from the Sentate
Environmental and
Public Works
Committee.
