EPA approves Iowa's new water-quality standards
June 1, 2009

After months of review, the EPA has approved changes to Iowa's water-quality standards, which are intended to increase the level of protection required for many of the state's lakes, rivers, and streams. The new standards include new designations for classes of water use, some of which will require considerably more effort to achieve than prior standards. Meeting the new standards will require work from the municipal, industrial, and agricultural sectors.
