Iowa has over 1670 facilities with permits to discharge wastewater into rivers and streams. Antidegradation review is required if these facilities want to increase the amount of pollution they are allowed to discharge to the water. Antidegradation review is also required when a new facility applies for a permit to discharge pollution to a waterway.
