I had heard about this case when it happened. I hunt mule deer in Wyoming at a particular ranch almost every year. The ranch owner has a well to water the livestock and the epa only allows so many gallons of water for the herd. The rancher has complained about almost the very issue in this article you mention, congress had exempted livestock. The epa told this rancher exactly what they told the one above, too bad.

In the case of the rancher I mention, they use all the water they are allowed every day and have to let the excess go into tanks for the days when it's hotter and the cattle need more water. How many head you may ask? They only have 140 head on 35,000 acres! I don't understand for the life of me how this can be true. I have never heard of a rancher in Michigan ever having this issue.

I just got a new pond, I made it twice because I aint so bright.
