Below is an opportunity that might interest you:
The EPA is accepting comments on water quality plans for Ventura Marsh
and Cedar Lake
 
The DNR is encouraging Iowans to review water quality improvement plans
for Ventura Marsh, located in Cerro Gordo and Hancock counties, and for
Cedar Lake in Madison County. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) is accepting comments on both plans through March 10.
 
The plan for Ventura Marsh looks at problems, caused by a large
population of bottom feeding carp, which affect other aquatic life in the
marsh. The plan sets targets for algae and water clarity levels. 
 
The plan for Cedar Lake, which is classified as a drinking water source,
looks at levels of atrazine that exceed Iowa’s water quality standards.
The plan sets targets for the lake to be able to attain atrazine levels
below the Iowa water quality standards.
 
The EPA is the lead agency for these two documents and all comments
should be directed to the EPA website. The documents can be accessed at
www.epa.gob/region07/water/tmdl_public_notice.htm. Water quality
improvement plans are also called by their technical name, Total Maximum
Daily Loads, or TMDLs.
