a
provision
enacted
in
SF

during
the
7
2011
legislative
session
(2011
Iowa
Acts,
chapter
31)
which
8
authorizes
the
department
of
natural
resources
to
adopt
by
9
rule
standards
for
the
disposal
of
wastewater
from
an
on-farm
10
processing
operation

eliminates

person
17
licensed
by
the
department
to
dispose
of
sewage
pursuant
