(1) Discharges and runoff from concentrated
animal feeding operations are a major source of
water pollution in many watersheds.
(2) An outbreak of cryptosporidium in Wiscon-
sin, which killed more than 100 people, and out-
breaks of Pfiesteria piscicida in the coastal waters of
North Carolina and Maryland, which killed millions
of fish and sickened dozens of people, have been
linked to contaminants associated with animal feed-
ing operations.
(3) Current controls on water pollution from
concentrated animal feeding operations are inad-

(4) Additional controls on all forms of water
pollution resulting from concentrated animal feeding
operations are needed to protect the public health,
water quality, and fisheries of the United States.
(5) Alternatives to animal waste containment
lagoons exist, and the use of these alternatives would
better protect the public health and the waters of
the United States from pollution.
