>
> DES MOINES —The DNR wants to know Iowans’ thoughts on improving the
> state’s water quality goals as the DNR conducts its every-three-years
> review of water quality standards. Iowans can attend one of three meetings
> across the state.
>
> The meetings, part of the triennial review process set forth in the
> federal Clean Water Act, allow Iowans the opportunity to provide the DNR
> information to help in setting the goals for streams and rivers.
>
> The triennial review process ensures water quality standards, as listed in
> Chapter 61 of the Iowa Administrative Code, are up-to-date. The DNR will
> then prioritize issues identified in the comments and develop a proposed
> work plan to address those items.
>
> The DNR has developed an initial list of standards to prioritize and
> address in the coming three years: aluminum, use attainability analyses
> (UAAs) and metals. For additional information on the state’s water quality
> standards and the triennial review process, please visit the DNR's water
> quality standards webpage at:
