UNDER THE proposed EPA rules, if Iowa cannot cut the amount of dust that is stirred up in its fields or on unpaved roads, then it must be compensated for in the cities. That means industry could not expand By jim wigdahl Courier Staff Writer DES MOINES-Third District Rep. Charles Grassley Friday labeled a federal plan to force the reduction of dust stirred up in rural Iowa as bureaucratic "idiocy" and a threat to the state's economic growth.

And Grassley vowed he would take his flght against the plan to Washington, and said he would urge state officials to file suit against the federal agency (Environmental Protection Agency) that is proposing it. company's environmental control division, read a company statement that charged if the proposed rule is enforced "then future industrial growth in states such as Iowa will be severely limited." The statement went on to say that "in Iowa, where current industrial development is not highly concentrated, such offsets (to rural dust) are often simply not available. ASKED WHAT passage of the EPA rule would mean to Iowa, Grassley agreed with the John Deere position, saying it would mean there would be "no economic growth, no business, no jobs. "It means the extremist environmentalists in Washington who talk about a more quiet, pastoral life for America are going to get their way." Grassley said he would take his battle to the EPA in Washington and if that doesn't bring results, he will bring it to a congressional review committee to determine if the EPA is exceeding the intent of Congress when it passed a federal clean air act. its operations if it were to put more dust into the air, and cities might have to pave their roads.

And that's what incenses Grassley. "They (EPA officials) are implying that a farmer can stop the wind from blowing," said Grassley, "and be ought to i be able to keep dust within his boundary lines. Or if it leaves the boundary lines, then they are going to make the cities account for it. "It is making city people pay for something they have no control over and they're making farmers responsible for something only God can control." Grassley said he had hoped that the EPA would take a reasonable action and make the proposed rules less stringent. But be said that was not the case Friday when an EPA official, Art Spratlin, insisted his agency would proceed with its proposal, despite the lack of evidence that rural dust is harmful to people's health.

GRASSLEY SAID Spratlin might have taken his tough stand because he might be afraid of superiors in Washington who might not think he was doing a good job if he gives in. Spratlin left Immediately after the meeting and was unavailable for a response. Also among those opposing the plan was a representative' of the John Deere and Co. from Moline, 111.
