The link in the press release doesn't quite take you where you want to go. You need to go to: http://www.iowadnr.gov/Environment/WaterQuality/WatershedImprovement/WatershedPlanning/NonpointSourcePlan.aspx Once there, there are links to two pdf's, one called "nonpoint source management plan", the other called "appendices". When I tried to follow those links, neither worked. So deja vu. Steve V.
