LEBANON, Pa. (AP) — William Kautz grew up in the Chesapeake Bay’s backyard. He remembers standing in water up to his hips that was so clear he could see his feet. A few decades later, he couldn’t even see his shins. When the Baltimore County resident moved to South Lebanon Township in Pennsylvania eight years ago, he found out why. Agricultural runoff in south-central Pennsylvania has been identified as one of the leading causes of Chesapeake Bay pollution, according to Harry Campbell, Pennsylvania executive director of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. That’s caused a lot of finger-pointing – and some of those fingers have been aimed directly at the Amish and Mennonite communities. Environmental activists have targeted Amish farming, human waste disposal and animal waste disposal practices as a leading cause of pollution.
