IA Code § 455E.2 (2021)
2021 Iowa Code|Title XI - NATURAL RESOURCES|Chapter 455E - GROUNDWATER PROTECTION|Section 455E.2 - Definitions.

455E.2 Definitions.   As used in this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires:   1. “Active cleanup” means removal, treatment, or isolation of a contaminant from groundwater through the directed efforts of humans.   2. “Commission” means the environmental protection commission created under section 455A.6.   3. “Contaminant” means any chemical, ion, radionuclide, synthetic organic compound, microorganism, waste, or other substance which does not occur naturally in groundwater or which naturally occurs at a lower concentration.   4. “Contamination” means the direct or indirect introduction into groundwater of any contaminant caused in whole or in part by human activities.   5. “Department” means the department of natural resources created under section 455A.2.   6. “Director” means the director of the department.   7. “Groundwater” means any water of the state, as defined in section 455B.171, which occurs beneath the surface of the earth in a saturated geological formation of rock or soil.   8. “Passive cleanup” means the removal or treatment of a contaminant in groundwater through management practices or the construction of barriers, trenches, and other similar facilities for prevention of contamination, as well as the use of natural processes such as groundwater recharge, natural decay, and chemical or biological decomposition.  87 Acts, ch 225, §102  Referred to in §455B.190A
IA Code § 455E.3 (2021)
2021 Iowa Code|Title XI - NATURAL RESOURCES|Chapter 455E - GROUNDWATER PROTECTION|Section 455E.3 - Findings.

455E.3 Findings.   The general assembly finds that:   1. Groundwater is a precious and vulnerable natural resource. The vast majority of persons in the state depend on groundwater as a drinking water source. Agriculture, commerce, and industry also depend heavily on groundwater. Historically, the majority of Iowa’s groundwater has been usable for these purposes without treatment. Protection of groundwater is essential to the health, welfare, and economic prosperity of all citizens of the state.   2. Many activities of humans, including the manufacturing, storing, handling, and application to land of pesticides and fertilizers; the disposal of solid and hazardous wastes; the storing and handling of hazardous substances; and the improper construction and the abandonment of wells and septic systems have resulted in groundwater contamination throughout the state.   3. Knowledge of the health effects of contaminants varies greatly. The long-term detriment to human health from synthetic organic compounds in particular is largely unknown but is of concern.   4. Any detectable quantity of a synthetic organic compound in groundwater is unnatural and undesirable.   5. The movement of groundwater, and the movement of contaminants in groundwater, are often difficult to ascertain or control. Decontamination is difficult and expensive to accomplish. Therefore, preventing contamination of groundwater is of paramount importance.  87 Acts, ch 225, §103
