In a 2006 Illinois Environmental Protection Agency report identifying water pollution problems around the state, crop production was listed as a potential source at more than 600 stretches of rivers, streams and lakes where excess nitrogen and phosphorus were causing problems, according to an analysis by the Post-Dispatch. Those waters were classified by the EPA as "impaired," meaning they had lost at least one of their intended uses, such as swimming, fishing or existing as a habitat for aquatic life. Heavy concentrations of nutrients have become a problem along America's coast as well as in its heartland. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration asserted recently that nutrient pollution has become a persistent problem in the Gulf of Mexico, Chesapeake Bay, Lake Erie, Puget Sound and many important waterways around the country.
