Policy Change Ends Use of Junked Cars on River Banks
STORM LAKE (RP) The Yowa Conservation Commission canceled its policy allowing junked car bodies to shore up river banks. It refused to renew a permit for Belle Fountain Levee District to use 26 wrecked cars along the Des Moines River in Mas Haska County. The decision reflects a shift toward beautifying waterways regardless of visibility from roads.
