455B.281 Compensation for well interference.   1. If an investigation by the department, using information provided by the applicant or permittee and the complainant, discloses that a proposed or existing permitted use or combination of such uses is causing or will cause the delivery system to fail in a well which supplies water for a nonregulated use, the department may condition issuance or continuation of a permit upon payment by the permittee of compensation for all or a portion of the cost of a replacement water supply system or remedial measures necessitated by the interference. However, such condition may be imposed only after the parties demonstrate to the department that a good-faith effort to negotiate a mutually agreeable compensation has been made and has failed.   2. Determination of the amount of compensation for the well interference shall be made a part of the determination of the department in accordance with section 455B.265 or 455B.271. The department may require the submission of itemized estimates of the cost of remedial repairs or a replacement water supply system. In determining appropriate compensation, the department shall consider the age and condition of the affected well or pumping system and its reasonableness as a method of obtaining groundwater in light of the history of development of groundwater in the surrounding area. When compensation is required for all or part of the cost of construction of a replacement water supply system or reconstruction of an affected well, the construction or reconstruction must comply with applicable well construction standards. A permittee is not required to pay compensation before having an opportunity to do test pumping authorized by the department and supervised by the department or designee.   3. The determination of the department shall be subject to administrative and judicial review and shall be the exclusive remedy for such interference.  85 Acts, ch 7, §11; 2018 Acts, ch 1041, §127  Referred to in §455B.265A

455B.292 Findings.   The general assembly finds that the proper construction, rehabilitation, operation, and maintenance of modern and efficient wastewater treatment works, other water pollution control works, and drinking water facilities are essential to protecting and improving the state’s water quality and the health of its citizens; that protecting and improving water quality is an issue of concern to the citizens of the state; that in addition to protecting and improving the state’s water quality, adequate wastewater treatment and water pollution control works and drinking water facilities are essential to economic growth and development; that during the last several years the amount of federal grant money available to states and local governments for assistance in constructing and improving wastewater treatment works and safe drinking water facilities has sharply diminished and will likely continue to diminish; and that it is proper for the state to encourage local governments, individuals, and other entities to undertake water pollution control and drinking water projects through the establishment of a state mechanism to provide loans at the lowest reasonable rates.  88 Acts, ch 1217, §11; 97 Acts, ch 4, §8; 2002 Acts, ch 1019, §2  Referred to in §16.131, 455B.199B, 456A.17

455B.301A Declaration of policy.   1. The protection of the health, safety, and welfare of Iowans and the protection of the environment require the safe and sanitary disposal of solid wastes. An effective and efficient solid waste disposal program protects the environment and the public, and provides the most practical and beneficial use of the material and energy values of solid waste. While recognizing the continuing necessity for the existence of landfills, alternative methods of managing solid waste and a reduction in the reliance upon land disposal of solid waste are encouraged. In the promotion of these goals, the following waste management hierarchy in descending order of preference, is established as the solid waste management policy of the state:   a. Volume reduction at the source.   b. Recycling and reuse.   c. Waste conversion technologies.   d. Combustion with energy recovery.   e. Other approved techniques of solid waste management including but not limited to combustion for waste disposal and disposal in sanitary landfills.   2. In the implementation of the solid waste management policy, the state shall:   a. Establish and maintain a cooperative state and local program of project planning, and technical and financial assistance to encourage comprehensive solid waste management.   b. Utilize the capabilities of private enterprise as well as the services of public agencies to accomplish the desired objectives of an effective solid waste management program.  87 Acts, ch 225, §405; 94 Acts, ch 1177, §1; 2006 Acts, ch 1063, §1; 2015 Acts, ch 112, §2  Referred to in §455B.302, 455B.304, 455B.311, 455D.3, 455D.5
