Iowa DNR is taking comments on chloride rule proposal
July 24, 2009
The Iowa DNR is
soliciting public comments on a proposed set of
rules regarding chloride, sulfate, and total dissolved solids in water discharged to the state's rivers and streams. The state plans to impose limits
to protect wildlife, but imposing the new standards
could be very costly at a time when municipalities are facing tough budgetary times. Should new rules be imposed, we would encourage plant operators and designers to consider our
water-quality monitors, which include many of the proposed parameters for monitoring.
