Abstract |
This basin plan is for one of six major river basins partially located in Iowa. These plans fulfill Phase I requirements of Section 303(e) of Public Law 92-500, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972. It includes a determination of existing water quality, applicable water quality standards, and significant point and nonpoint sources of pollution within the basin. Point source pollution abatement is the main emphasis of the plan. The plan contains effluent limits for point source wastewater discharges, compliance schedules to meet these limits, a priority ranking of municipal discharges for use in determining the distribution of Federal and State grant funds used in the construction and/or upgrading of municipal wastewater treatment plants, and a table of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment needs. |
