The real problem that brought on the buffer law is the soil erosion and runoff going into the rivers and lakes. Very little or no progress was being made to control erosion, runoff and resulting water pollution. The buffers are only stop gap to try to control the water pollution produced by intensive farming. Eliminate the erosion and water pollution and there will be no need to keep the buffer laws. Unfortunately, too many farms feel it's their right to pollute and "tough luck" to anyone down stream.
Paul, is your group doing anything to find new ways to reduce erosion and water pollution that work better than the buffers? If you can develop a better alternative, the buffer laws might be repealed. Until then, if a group of business (farms) are making a profit from polluting the lakes, rivers, and ground water, shouldn't those business be the one responsible to pay for the clean up?
I do understand your frustration with the buffer law, but the water pollution is a problem the farms have created by themselves. So far, buffers are the cheapest and easiest solution that has been proposed. Please find a better alternative before criticizing the buffer law. Thank you for listening.
