I hope that this Congress does not continue to ignore this growing national problem.

Farm SAFE will require large livestock operations to do their part to reduce water pollution.

I am encouraged by recent efforts by the Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency to address pollution from animal feedlots.

The bill improves water quality monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting so that the public knows which CAFOs are polluting.

Farm SAFE is very similar to legislation that I introduced last Congress.

This legislation will restore confidence that we can swim and fish in our streams and rivers without getting sick.

Water quality in California's San Joaquin Valley has been degraded by unregulated discharges of waste from dairy farms.

Mr. Speaker, today I introduced legislation to address the most important source of water pollution facing our country--polluted runoff.
