The Environmental Protection Commission will hold a series of public hearings on proposed amendments to Iowa Admin. Code r. 61, Appendix B § Outstanding Iowa Waters. Several have been removed based on a scientific review of existing water quality conditions that do not meet the proposed criteria for Outstanding Iowa Waters at this time and the potential adverse regulatory impacts. In addition, several new creeks have been added based on a scientific review of existing water quality conditions that do meet the proposed criteria for Outstanding Iowa Waters. Changes have also been made regarding Dalton Lake. The hearings will be September 1 and 3, 2009. http://www.legis.state.ia.us/asp/ACODOCS/DOCS/08-12-2009.Bulletin.pdf pp. 425-28.
