Feds remove pollution protections from Iowa waterways

The Environmental Protection Agency has removed several rivers and streams from the Iowa Natural Resources Department's list of impaired waterways , despite being contaminated with dangerous levels of nitrates. An environmental coalition sued the EPA over the move but the agency has doubled down on its decision. Citing high nitrate levels caused largely by farm runoff, the advocacy group Food and Water Watch and the Iowa Environmental Council took the EPA to court over its failure to protect segments of the Cedar, Des Moines, Iowa and South Skunk rivers, meaning they will not be prioritized for developing cleanup plans. Dani Replogle, staff attorney for Food and Water Watch, said the EPA offered a weak rationale for keeping these rivers off the list. "For example, by saying that we only have 362 days of data, and if we had 365 – a full year's worth of data – then maybe the percentage of exceedance days would be under the limit," Replogle pointed out. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources sends nitrate level information to the EPA, which the agency uses to decide whether to include waterways on the impaired list. Despite historical and repeated incidents of dangerous nitrate levels, the agency

DES MOINES — The Iowa Natural Resource Commission is starting the process of changing the rules to open up bobcat trapping statewide. DNR furbearer biologist Vince Evelsizer says the native animals were wiped out during the late 1800 and early 1900s, but made a return in the 1990s. “There’s a lot of indications from our information and from the field that the bobcat population is flourishing in most parts of the state,” Evelsizer says.

Library asks Ames to enforce an overnight camping ban on its property

The Ames Public Library may start enforcing overnight restrictions to curtail littering and vandalism and keep people from camping on the property. The Ames Library Board of Trustees asked the City of Ames to restrict access during specific hours. City parks have similar restrictions. The board recently said, in a letter to the City of Ames, the library has witnessed "dramatic growth in overnight safety and health concerns on the exterior grounds that cannot be managed by library staff alone." The board said "troublesome activities" occur when the library is closed, including people sleeping near the building, alcohol consumption and drug use. The board said those sleeping nearby have startled upon awakening and have allegedly pulled knives on staff members and followed employees. The library is closed from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. More: ISU professor accused of killing wife dies from self-inflicted gunshot The board is concerned about staff safety should a situation escalate, Library Board Secretary Debra Gibson said during the Nov. 10 Ames City Council meeting.
