  • Lake Restoration Report
    Lake Restoration Program 2020 Report and 2021 Plan A cooperative dredging project between DNR and the City of Council Bluffs removed over 500,000 CY of sand from Lake Manawa (Monona County), providing materials for a local levee-building project and improving water quality within the lake. Watershed ponds, constructed at West Lake Park in Scott County, will protect the four lakes in the Lake of the Hills Complex for many years. Mariposa Lake (Jasper County) following restoration, completed in 2020. The project included building two new ponds in the park to protect the lake, dredging, shoreline stabilization, and fish habitat. Submitted To Joint Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Infrastructure, and Capitals and Legislative Services Agency 1 Executive Summary The Fiscal Year 2020 Iowa Lake Restoration Report and Fiscal Year 2021 Plan provides a status of past appropriated legislatively directed funding; outlines the future needs and demands for lake restoration in Iowa; and identifies a prioritized group of lakes and the associated costs for restoration. Iowans value water quality and desire safe healthy lakes that provide a full complement of aesthetic, ecological and recreational benefits. A recently completed water-based recreational use survey by Iowa State University found that six of 10 Iowans visit our lakes multiple times each year and spend $1.2 billion annually in their pursuit of outdoor lake recreation. The most popular activities are fishing, picnicking, wildlife viewing, boating, hiking/biking, swimming and beach use. In addition, visitations at lakes that have completed watershed and lake improvements efforts continue to exceed the state average and their own pre-restoration visitation levels.

  • Fiscal Year 2009 Boat Fee Revenues and Expenditures Report
    Fiscal Year 2009 Boat Fee Revenues and Expenditures Report Department of Natural Resources Conservation and Recreation Division December 31, 2009 (Extended to March 15, 2010) Richard A. Leopold, Director EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2005, in order to provide for continued outreach and resources to the citizens of Iowa, the Iowa General Assembly amended Iowa Code Chapter 462A.52 to increase boat registration fees for all types of watercraft, to change the registration cycle, and to begin requiring the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to report on increased revenues and how they are expended until December 31, 2013. This is the third such annual report. The increased fees are required to be used to control the spread of aquatic invasive species, the administration of enforcement of navigation laws and for water safety upon the inland waters of the state. The mandate required the Department to submit a report to the General Assembly by December 31 of each year beginning in 2007. (An extension for completing the 2009 report was requested until March 15, 2010.) It was directed that the report contain, but is not limited to, summarizing the activities of the Department on: 1. Administering and enforcing programs to control aquatic invasive species 2. Administering and enforcing navigation laws and water safety 3. Amount of revenues collected as a result of fee increases 4. Detail of how the revenues were expended 5. Amount and source of all other funds expended 6. Detail of how the funds were expended 7.

Hatch A systematic study of two complexes of closely related species within Eleocharis subg. Limnochloa was conducted to better define poorly understood species and to lay the foundation for a worldwide revision of this group. Research utilized scanning electron microscopy (SEM), study of more than 2300 herbarium specimens and types from 35 herbaria, multivariate analysis, and field studies in the southeast United States and Mexico. Examination of achene gross- and micromorphology using SEM indicated a relationship among the species of the Eleocharis mutata complex (comprising E. mutata, E. spiralis, and E. cellulosa), their distinctness from the E.

  • Lake Restoration Report
    Lake Restoration Program 2016 Report and 2017 Plan Submitted To Joint Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Infrastructure, and Capitals and Legislative Services Agency Submitted By Iowa Department of Natural Resources Chuck Gipp, Director December 31, 2016 1 2 Executive Summary The 2016 Iowa Lake Restoration Report and 2017 Plan outlines the need and demand for lake restoration in Iowa; identifies a prioritized group of lakes and the associated costs for restoration; and provides the status of past appropriated legislatively directed funding. Iowans value water quality and desire safe healthy lakes that provide a full complement of aesthetic, ecological and recreational benefits. A recently completed water-based recreational use survey by Iowa State University found that six of 10 Iowans visit our lakes multiple times each year and spend $1.2 billion annually in their pursuit of outdoor lake recreation. The most popular activities are fishing, picnicking, wildlife viewing, boating, hiking and biking, and swimming and beach use. In addition, visitations at lakes that have completed watershed and lake improvements efforts continue to exceed the state average and their own pre-renovation visitation levels and people are willing to drive farther for lakes with better water quality and more amenities. Legislative Action Goals of Iowa’s Lake Restoration Program are improved water quality; a diverse, balanced aquatic community and sustained public use benefits. Many of our Iowa Lakes, similar to our nation’s lakes, are impaired and suffer from excessive algae growth and sedimentation due to nutrient loading and soil loss. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Lake Restoration Program (LRP) focus is on restoring Iowa’s significant publicly-owned lakes and publicly-owned shallow lakes/wetlands.
