Developments in Industrial Waste Treatment in Iowa Philip F. Morgan, Associate Professor Sanitary Engineering, State University of Iowa Iowa City, Iowa The outstanding development in the industrial waste problem in the state of Iowa during the past year has been the enactment of a new stream and lake pollution law which gives the State Department of Health considerably more authority than it previously had in dealing with all types of pollution problems. It now has power to control ". . . in light of the use to which the water is being, or may be put . ." ". . . all substances and materials which render the water detrimental to the public health, or unwholesome, or. unfit for domestic use or as a public water supply, or deleterious to the health of animals, fish, or aquatic life, or detrimental to the practicable use of the water for recreational purposes, . . ." "Any person, firm or corporation, or any officer or agent thereof" who violates the orders of the State Depart¬ ment of Health and who is found guilty in accordance with prescribed court procedure will be subject to a fine of not to exceed one thousand dollars. Under this act no sewerage system which proposes to discharge any materials, as described above, shall be installed until a written permit for such sewerage system has been granted by the Department of Health. Furthermore, no changes, additions, or extensions of any existing sewerage system and no extension of or addition to any factory, manufacturing establishment, or business enterprise, the operation of which will substantially increase the amount of polluting material, shall be made until plans for such changes, additions, or extensions shall have been submitted to, and a written permit obtained, from the Depart¬ ment of Health. To further protect the lakes of Iowa the new law states that no sewage or other wastes as defined above "whether treated or untreated shall be discharged directly into any state-owned natural or artificial lake. . ." Since all lakes of any appreciable size that are used for recreational purposes are state-owned, this part of the law provides for almost absolute elimination of lake pollution. Furthermore, the dis¬ charge of treated effluent to tributaries of these lakes is possible only 372
