The Iowa Natural Resources Council endorsed the project Monday and officials said the system is ready. Tom Allbright, head of the engineering division, told reporters on Wednesday that 75 percent erosion protection is required by law for the watershed and federal norms call for three to five tons of soil loss a year. Johnson estimated that up to 60 percent of the land now meets the standard and noted no recent special effort to expand erosion safeguards.
