Included among the resolutions passed by NACD were: strong support for the Land and Water Conservation Act which is currently before Congress; recommendations to alter Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act; and a call for better guidelines to define acceptable kinds of stream channel changes. NACD members feel that passage of the Land and Water Resources Conservation Act would provide the necessary framework to analyze the nation's soil and water conservation needs; and would update and consolidate conservation authorities carried out through Conservation Districts during the past ?8 years. The Conservation District officials, representing near-- 7 3,000 local Conservation Districts, expressed their deep concern with the Fed- - Section 404 which they labeled ambiguous and ' complex. As it reads now, it is virtually impossible for a landowner to know with any assurance whether or not a permit will be required for any earthmoving activity he needs to perform. NACD resolved for amendments, or repeal, of Section 404; and NACD will also initiate discussions with USDA, Environmental Protection Agency and the Corps of Engineers to determine content of the legislation and responsibility for assuring compliance. The continuing controversy over alteration of stream channels is hampering many watershed projects and must be solved, NACD said in their Stream Channel Alteration Resolution. Accordingly, the National Association of Conservation District will undertake to bring to- -. gether the Soil Conservation Service, The Fish and Wildlife Service, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Council on Environmental Quality to develop mutually agreed guidelines for stream channel alteration;'.

He urged farmers and ranchers as well as urban landowners to double their efforts to control land erosion voluntarily rather than wait for some sort of control. Long also stressed the need to straighten out Section 404 of the dredge and fill controls" as proposed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.
