VIDEO – DNR to designate waste water discharge channels as recreational bodies or as aquatic habitats.

SAC CITY, IOWA – MAY 4, 2010
These are not quotes.

1. DNR is designating waste water channels as recreational areas.
- The comment period is already over and nobody was aware of it.
- There are both recreational uses and aquatic life areas being designated.
- Included in the plan are county drainage district laterals.
- City Sewer systems are having to upgrade to respond to the channels being upgraded to A3, (children’s recreation)
- An example is given for a channel that has to be pumped with a lift station to get water moving.
-Hecht claims the process raises his blood pressure. Any time they go through administrative rule, they don’t have to debate it on the floor of the legislature.
- Breda lagoons.


- I did comment on several of these proposals.
- The only reason because there is fish in this one is because of its proximity to the Boyer.
- There were 5 meetings around the state.
- The posted one was in Spencer.
- This is supposedly the third round of hearings.
- This is being pushed by an outside organization?
- This is not like the disaster in the gulf.
- Engineer points out that at one time the state was merely interested in finding out where the buried tanks were.
2. Adjournment.

  1. This classification has been ongoing for 2 years..what it comes down to it if you can get your feet wet it's swimmable, which is wrong wrong wrong. A lot of these streams not rivers only have water in them maybe 3 months out of the year. DNR needs to re-think this issue!!!! Raise a little @#%^ with them. It is costing all of us way to much $$$$$$$
