Many wells have been contaminated over the years and runoff and soil movement has continued. To work with agriculture and home owners as well as businesses to create a safer way of using chemicals and to prevent as little runoff as possible along with training workers and homeowners about such issues. How to eliminate some soil movement within the property
Honestly I have not seen any public information out there or seen where the department has sent anything to individuals as well as some businesses. Need to be more effective in communicating with the general population and inform them as well as get their input more often
Just want to help make businesses, farmers and homeowners aware of all the potential problems that are occurring and ways to positively reduce some of the contamination of soil and water. By provide information to the public as well as listening to their ideas to help create a safe more workable and livable environment
