Iowa HF2642 amends water allocation rules and establishes standards for liquid waste disposal from distillery operations.

Iowa HF2642 modifies water allocation procedures by requiring the Department of Natural Resources to prioritize permit applications based on receipt order, unless delay threatens public health, safety, or welfare. The bill also removes the definition of "beneficial use" from the code and mandates that the department determine beneficial use on a case-by-case basis when granting water permits.
