Would the EPA like to see the details of water abstractors published? I understand that in June of last year, the EPA was put under pressure by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine not to publish the list of abstractors. It went to the office of the Commissioner for Environmental Information and the list was published but the details of the 150 farms were not listed. Is the EPA's position that they should be published, that it should be public information?
