The U.S. and Canadian governments called Monday for deep cuts in phosphorus runoff from farms and other sources into Lake Erie, where an overload in recent years has fed harmful algae blooms that have fouled drinking water and killed fish.
The deal targets a 40 per cent reduction of phosphorus for the lake’s central and western sections, a target previously endorsed by Ohio, Michigan and the Canadian province of Ontario.
