Mr. David Flynn:

One of the key issues is outlined on page 9. In 2022, 44% of our rivers had a mean nitrate concentration above 8 mg. The EPA says the long-term trends are going in the wrong direction. It is clearly stating that we have a difficulty here. That is the issue we are dealing with. Every report produced by the EPA in the period we are looking at states that we have a difficulty with water quality, especially with nitrates and in particular from agriculture.
