Re: Master Matrix
Date: November 14, 2019
If a county chooses to use the master matrix to evaluate applications for construction permits for large animal confinement operations, the board of supervisors must adopt a “construction evaluation resolution” annually.
According to the DNR’s administrative rules, if the board of supervisors wants to use the master matrix between February 1, 2020 and January 31, 2021, the board of supervisors must submit an adopted “construction evaluation resolution” to the DNR between January 1 and January 31, 2020.
Click here or on the blue button below for a sample construction evaluation resolution.
The construction evaluation resolution should be submitted to Kelli Book through mail, email, or hand delivered:
Kelli Book
Iowa Department of Natural Resources
502 East 9th Street
Des Moines, IA 50319-0034
kelli.book@dnr.iowa.gov
Counties will receive a confirmation email for all CERs received.
The board of supervisors can adopt the resolution at any time, as long as it is actually mailed or faxed to the DNR during January of 2020.
Pay attention to this deadline. If a county board of supervisors does not adopt a construction evaluation resolution for 2020, then the county cannot:
1) Submit a formal recommendation to the DNR concerning a particular construction permit application; the county can submit comments, but they are not given nearly as much weight by DNR as a formal recommendation would be;
2) Send county employee along on a DNR site inspection; or
3) Appeal the DNR’s decision regarding a construction permit application to the Environmental Protection Commission.
In addition, if the county chooses to use the master matrix, then applicants must meet stricter environmental standards than they would have to meet otherwise.
If you have any questions about this memo, you can call Kristi Harshbarger at ISAC, 515.244.7181 or Kelli Book at the DNR, at 515.725.9572.
