• Rules. In general, Iowa's reporting requirements are more stringent than the federal reporting requirements. For instance, the time limit for reporting at the federal level is more immediate. In addition, Iowa requires petroleum USTs (including gasoline, heating oil, and jet fuel USTs) to report both suspected and confirmed releases to DNR within 24 hours of discovery. See the state section UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS for additional guidance.
• Administration and enforcement. DNR's Emergency Response and Homeland Security Unit is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the state's release notification requirements. EPA's Region 7 office administers and enforces the federal oil spill requirements under the Oil Pollution Act.
