§ 455H.104. 455H.104 Declaration of policy.
The general assembly finds and declares all of the following: 1. Some real property in Iowa is not put to its highest productive use because it is contaminated or it is perceived to be contaminated as a result of past activity on the property. The reuse of these sites is an important component of a sound land-use policy that will prevent the needless development of prime farmland and open-space and natural areas, and reduce public expenditures for installing new infrastructure. 2. Incentives should be put in place to encourage capable persons to voluntarily develop and implement cleanup plans. 3. The safe reuse of property should be encouraged through the adoption of environmental remediation standards developed through an open process which take into account the risks associated with any release at the site. Any remediation standards adopted by this state must provide for the protection of the public health and safety and the environment. 97 Acts, ch 127, §4 Fri Dec 12 20:39:53 2025 Iowa Code 2026, Section 455H.104 (18, 0)
