Iowa DNR Proposes To Formalize Compliance & Enforcement Actions

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is proposing rule making to formalize the variety of informal compliance and enforcement options the DNR may consider in responding to possible violations of environmental statutes, rules, permits, licenses, certifications, and plans. The DNR has been using these or similar procedures for many years, and this rule making process intends to formalize the practice. The DNR is proposing a new administrative rules chapter, Chapter 9A: Compliance and Enforcement Procedures.

The Iowa DNR is requesting public input on an upcoming rule making effort and will collect suggestions or comments from the public regarding the proposed rule making until Friday, November 18, 2011.
