EPA Says it Will Clean Up Illinois River

A "scientifically robust model of the Illinois River watershed" will be built in the next year and half by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the purpose of establishing "maximum daily loads" of pollutants like phosphorus from poultry litter.

EPA told state officials in Oklahoma and Arkansas about its plans to "take the lead" in cleaning up the waters of the Illinois River Basin in October, after a federal trial started in Tulsa over whether the major poultry companies in the area are responsible for pollution of the watershed.

Steve Thompson, executive director of the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, was called to testify in the federal trial about EPA's plans. Thompson said the department would adhere to whatever EPA comes up with, but doubted it would move as quickly as its original plan indicates.
