2/18/2013 From: Gastineau, Janet [DNR] Sent: Monday, February 18, 2013 8:22 AM To: 'BUD MO' Subject: FW: question I think this is what you are looking for. If not, let me know. From: Gastineau, Janet [DNR] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 2:44 PM To: Gibbons, Bill [DNR] Subject: question 43.3(7) says this but we always specify 400’ from the maximum water level…. After a surface water impoundment has received preliminary approval from the department for use as a raw water source, the owner of the water supply system shall submit proof of legal control through ownership, lease, easement, or other similar means, of contiguous land for a distance of 400 feet from the shoreline at the maximum water level. Legal control shall be for the life of the impoundment and shall control location of sources of contamination within the 400-foot distance. Proof of legal control should be submitted as part of the construction permit application and shall be submitted prior to issuance of a permit to construct. (4) Separation distances. Greater separation distances may be required where necessary to ensure that no adverse effects to water supplies or the existing environment will result. Lesser separation distances may be considered if detailed justification is provided by the applicant’s engineer showing that no adverse effects will result from a lesser separation distance, and the regional staff recommends approval of the lesser distance. Such exceptions must be based on special construction techniques or localized geologic or hydrologic conditions. I would encourage him to talk to the operator if they are building a new home—especially since there will be waste disposal. From: BUD MO [mailto:bjconst@windstream.net] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2013 11:34 AM To: Gastineau, Janet [DNR] Subject: new law? Janet, Where are the written requirements or contaminants restrictions for building new/existing homes in the 400' buffer zone for a drinking water source such as a lake? I know its 75' but where do I find the rules and if there are new rules for newly built or future public water supply lakes in Iowa. Thank you Bud Jones JANET GASTINEAU
