Iowa SF2261 mandates pollution monitoring systems for confinement feeding operations, requiring data reporting to the Department of Natural Resources.

Iowa SF2261 requires owners or operators of confinement feeding operations, excluding small animal feeding operations, to install and operate water pollution monitoring systems. These systems must collect and record data on pollutants discharged into groundwater or surface water.
