Iowa panel backs loosening topsoil restoration rule
Iowa environmental commissioners moved to revise a rule requiring builders to return four inches of topsoil after construction. The shift aligns with federal standards by preserving topsoil where feasible without set measurements. The advisory panel, dominated by builders and earth movers, urged scrapping the uniform post construction 4 inch layer due to added costs for homeowners.
