Cleveland.com: Gov. John Kasich signed an executive order Wednesday to reduce agricultural runoff that contributes to toxic algae in Lake Erie by tightening state oversight in eight Northwest Ohio watersheds.
The order, signed Wednesday afternoon, designates eight "watersheds in distress" and allows the Ohio Department of Agriculture to set requirements for storing, handling and applying manure as well as nutrient management plans that detail how farms manage plant nutrients. It will affect 7,000 farms across 2 million acres.
