Per the Jacoby suggestion for a commission We’ve had the Water Resource Coordinating Council since 2008 and the Watershed Planning Advisory Council since 2010. What we need are laws that restrict the actions of the polluters.

The risks of polluting facilities can get worse with major storms. Our state affiliate Environment Florida took a look at the toxic aftermath of Hurricane Milton. environmentamerica.org/florida/center…

U.S. EPA has partially approved and partially disapproved Iowa’s 2024 list of impaired waters, called the Clean Water Act Section 303(d) list: epa.gov/tmdl/overview-…, and added seven water bodies to the list.

U.S. EPA These waterways were added for drinking water use and do not pertain to aquatic life or recreational uses and any local recommendations or advisories regarding their aquatic or recreational use remain in effect.

U.S. EPA The seven water bodies added to this 2024 list, require pollutant reduction through a TMDL and are subject to a 30-day public notice from Nov. 13 to Dec. 13, 2024. For more information visit ➡️ epa.gov/newsreleases/e…
