Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, held a press conference to propose the idea June 6. This comes in response to con- stant flooding throughout the nation and after the Iowa flood of 2008. The bill, titled National Flood Research and Education Center Act, was intro- duced June 16.

  • The Year of the River Incredible Damage
    THE YEAR OF THE RIVER Long before the floodwaters arrived, Cedar Rapids had designated 2008 as “The Year of the River” to celebrate the city’s connection to the Cedar River. The slogan also commemorated the 100th anniversary of the city’s purchase of May’s Island, a downtown, midchannel slice of land about the size and shape of a battleship. But the phrase quickly took on a new meaning after the river crested at over 31 feet above flood stage — and more than 11 feet above the previous record of 19.66 feet set National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library. in 1961. About 60 percent of Iowa’s total 2008 flood damage occurred in Cedar Rapids.

  • STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM 2016 CLEAN WATER and FLOOD PROTECTION IT’S EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS
    STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM 2016 CLEAN WATER And FLOOD PROTECTION IT’S EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION AWARENESS The United States has made tremendous advances since Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972 to clean up the aquatic environment by controlling pollution from industries and sewage treatment plants. Today, nonpoint source pollution remains the nation’s largest source of water quality problems. Sometimes referred to as polluted runoff, nonpoint source pollution occurs when rainfall, snowmelt, or irrigation runs over land or through the ground, picks up pollutants, and deposits them into surface waters or introduces them into ground water. The most common nonpoint source pollutants are sediments and nutrients. Other common nonpoint source pollutants include pesticides, pathogens, salts, oils, and excess fertilizer. The watershed approach is the preferred way to restore a stream, river, or lake. It looks beyond the water body itself and examines the entire drainage area, including all the potential sources of pollution that drain into it. Water conservation uses practices and technologies that limit water use in the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, lawn, driveway, and garden. Conserving water reduces the demand on existing water supplies and limits the amount of water that runs off the land. Runoff should also be minimized by using low impact development (LID) techniques, which work with the natural landscape and native plants to soak up more rainwater by improving infiltration. Low impact development solutions include rain gardens and green roofs, which treat rainwater as a precious resource. Other ways to control polluted runoff include erosion control techniques such as silt fencing around construction sites, establishment of riparian (vegetated) zones next to waterbodies to filter out pollutants, and xeriscape landscaping, which incorporates native plants that minimize maintenance needs.

PAGE 1B THURSDAY, JULY 28, 2011 Dems want ID of GOP bundlers At a press conference Out-of-state workers spark ire Wednesday, Sue Dvorsky, the chair- woman of the Iowa Democratic Party, and Sen. Jeff Danielson, D- Cedar Falls, called on Republican presidential-nomination candi- dates to disclose the names of their campaigns’ major fundrais- ers, according to a press release from the Iowa Democratic Party. The two contended that a public knowledge of bundlers — as the major fundraisers are known — is in the interest of Iowans. “If the Republican candidates for president aren’t forthcoming about who exactly is helping them to get elected, how can we know for sure that those same people won’t be calling in favors if their candidate wins election to the White House,” Dvorsky said at the conference. Dvorsky also stressed trans- parency and accountability as a reason for naming bundlers. President Obama recently made public his major contributors, according to the release, having done the same for his 2008 cam- paign. Danielson said at the conference he was shocked that no Republican candidate had not yet volunteered the disclosure of her or his major fundraisers. — by Ariana Witt Palin to hit Iowa in September Former Alaska Gov.

  • Health Risks of Climate Change in Iowa
    A REPORT BY THE IOWA CHAPTER OF PHYSICIANS FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY This report was prepared by the Iowa Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR/Iowa) to alert Iowans to the unfolding health effects of climate change in Iowa and to encourage all Iowans and elected leaders to make the changes needed to help halt and eventually reverse global warming’s deadly course. Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) works to protect life and health from the gravest threats to health and survival including climate change, environmental degradation and nuclear weapons. November 2016 Authors Kareem Butler, Student, Pre Law, Public Health Next Gen Representative Channon Greer, Student, Environmental Policy and Sustainability Studies Maureen McCue, MD PhD, Coordinator PSR/Iowa Editing and Layout John W. Rachow, PhD MD About Physicians for Social Responsibility PSR has a long and respected history of physician-led activism to protect the public’s health. Founded in 1961 by a group of physicians concerned about the impact of nuclear proliferation, PSR shared the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize with International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War for building public pressure to end the nuclear arms race. Today, PSR’s members, staff, and state and local chapters form a nationwide network of key contacts and trained medical spokespeople who can effectively target significant threats to global survival. Since 1991, when PSR formally expanded its work by creating its environment and health program, PSR has addressed the issues of global warming and the toxic degradation of our environment. PSR presses for policies to curb global warming, ensure clean air, generate a sustainable energy future, prevent human exposures to toxic substances, and minimize toxic pollution of air, food, and drinking water.

In the summer and fall of 2016, several major flooding events reminded us of the potentially devastating consequences of global climate change. In the span of eight days in August, an unnamed tropical storm that stalled over Southeastern Louisiana dumped an estimated 7.1 trillion gallons of water on the state—three times as much rain as Louisiana received during Hurricane Katrina.1 According to the Governor of Louisiana, the flooding caused by this unnamed storm damaged at least 6,000 businesses and 55,000 homes, a number that some suggest could easily double as applications for rebuilding assistance and inspections continue.2 In late September 2016, the Cedar River in Iowa crested many * De Van D.
