Abstract

This Water Quality Improvement Plan serves multiple purposes. First, it is a resource for increased understanding of watershed and water quality conditions in the Iowa River Basin. Second, it satisfies the Federal Clean Water Act requirement to develop a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for waterbodies on the federal 303(d) impaired waters list. Third, it provides a foundation for locally-driven water quality improvements for streams in the Iowa River Basin in an effort to improve water quality. Fourth, it may be useful for obtaining financial assistance to implement projects to remove waterbodies in the Iowa River Basin from the federal 303(d) impaired waters list.
