| News Item posted by DNR ER & HLS Unit Staff |
A recently signed appropriations bill has changed the responsibility for the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act Section 311-312 program (EPCRA Tier II) from Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The DNR currently manages the Section 304 (Emergency Release Reporting) and Section 313 (Toxic Release Inventory) programs. DNR and IWD staff are working together to insure a smooth transition. |
