Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
The following list identifies water sources designated as
					 protected sources under this chapter. Each listing includes the name of the
					 surface water or groundwater source designated, the geographical areas
					 affected, the specific purposes for designating the source, and special
					 limitations imposed or recommended to achieve the purpose of the protected
					 source designation. The listing may also include any special monitoring
					 requirements and may specify a date by which the department must review the
					 designation of the protected source.
(1)
Ralston Site, Linn
				  County.
The area within a one-mile radius of a point which is 600 feet
				  south of the midpoint of the northern edge of Section 2, Township 83 North,
				  Range 7 West in Linn County is a protected water source. Any new application
				  for a permit to withdraw groundwater or to increase an existing permitted
				  withdrawal of groundwater from within the protected water source area will be
				  restricted or denied, if necessary to preserve public health and welfare or to
				  minimize movement of groundwater contaminants from the Ralston Site. The
				  Ralston Site is identified in the Registry of Hazardous Waste or Hazardous
				  Substance Disposal Sites pursuant to Iowa Code section
				  455B426..
Withdrawal of groundwater from within the protected water
					 source area may also be restricted or denied from what would otherwise be
					 nonregulated wells, if necessary to preserve public health and welfare or to
					 minimize movement of groundwater contaminants from the Ralston Site. The Linn
					 County health department will refer any application for a construction permit
					 for a private well within the protected water source area to the department's
					 water supply section that will determine whether the proposed well will be
					 allowed.
(2)
Cambrian-Ordovician (Jordan) aquifer in Johnson and Linn
				  Counties.
a.
Geographical
				  area.
The protected water source area includes portions of Johnson and
				  Linn Counties. The actual geographical boundaries of the area are defined in
				  subparagraph 53.7(2)
"a"
(3).
(1) New or modified water use permits. Any
				  new application for a permit to withdraw groundwater or to increase an existing
				  permitted withdrawal of groundwater from the Cambrian-Ordovician (Jordan)
				  aquifer within the protected water source area will be restricted or denied if
				  necessary to preserve public health and welfare.
(2) Withdrawal of groundwater. Withdrawal of
				  groundwater from within the protected water source area may also be restricted
				  or denied from water supply wells constructed in the Cambrian-Ordovician
				  (Jordan) aquifer, public or private, and the construction of all new water
				  supply wells in the Cambrian-Ordovician (Jordan) aquifer shall be restricted or
				  denied, if necessary, to preserve public health and welfare or to minimize
				  adverse effects to the "available" head (i.e., the original pressure head above
				  the top of the aquifer). The Johnson County and Linn County health departments
				  are not authorized to issue a construction permit for a private well drilled
				  into or through the Cambrian-Ordovician (Jordan) aquifer within the protected
				  water source area without the approval of the department. The department's
				  water supply engineering section will determine whether the proposed well can
				  be constructed and may require that the well meet public water well
				  standards.
(3) Map of protected
				  water source area. The department shall maintain a map of the protected water
				  source area.
