Gov. Mike DeWine s H2Ohio initiative is supposed to clean up Lake Erie and other Ohio waterways through several avenues, including a program incentivizing farmers to improve how manure is spread and reduce phosphorus runoff that contributes to algae blooms.
When Terry and Ernest Bateson hear rumbling, they know the trucks are coming. 
Every year, semi-trucks filled to the brim with liquid manure drive by the retired farmers  home in Wood County s Portage Township. The semi-trucks are carrying waste from the CAFOs, or concentrated animal feeding operations – in layman s terms, factory farms.  ....

H2Ohio effort to clean up Lake Erie, waterways praised and criticized


When Terry and Ernest Bateson hear rumbling, they know the trucks are coming. 
Every year, semi-trucks filled to the brim with liquid manure drive by the retired farmers  home in Wood County s Portage Township. The semi-trucks are carrying waste from the CAFOs, or concentrated animal feeding operations – in layman s terms, factory farms. 
The road turns brown from the spillage, Ernest Bateson said. 
The number of animals in the Maumee watershed has doubled from 9 to 20 million from 2005 to 2018, a study by environmental advocates found. More animals mean more poop – and the poop has to go somewhere.

Editorial: H2Ohio needs assured funding to protect Ohio’s precious water resources
The H2Ohio fund created by Gov. Mike DeWine and legislators in 2019 is a critical long-term work in progress. It aims, most prominently, at reducing, and eventually ending, dangerous toxic algal blooms in western Lake Erie by creating more local accountability on phosphorus-reduction plans, more farmer buy-in, improved monitoring of streams and rivers, widened use of agricultural best practices and the creation of new wetlands and other buffers.
But that’s far from H2Ohio’s totality. The program also seeks to ensure that both Ohioans and the state’s priceless freshwater resources are protected amid soaring water infrastructure costs, as price tags climb for lead service-line replacements, mandated septic-system upgrades, and modernized drinking-water and wastewater treatment plants. ....
