Action alert from IEC:
Water quality has been in the forefront of the news in Iowa this summer: beaches filled with toxic algae, high nitrates in drinking water, and water use restrictions. As a state, we have been grappling with these issues and more as a product of pollution in Iowa’s waterways. Submit your comments to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) by October 20 and ask them to improve Iowa’s water quality protections for our health.
Clink on thte link below to tell the Iowa DNR to properly address Iowan’s health through the triennial review process. Here are a few protections IEC is advocating for:
- Adopt numeric nutrient standards to prevent nitrate and algae problems.
- Set a protective nitrate standard for drinking water.
- Adopt human health criteria that EPA has recommended.
- Maintain requirements that help meet standards and protect Iowa’s water supplies from pollution.
The Iowa DNR is accepting written public comments until October 20. Questions? Contact us at iecmail@iaenvironment.org.
