Iowa Food Assistance Program Statistics by Month and County
mydata.iowa.gov | Last Updated 2024-05-21T22:00:16.000ZThe Food Assistance Program provides Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards that can be used to buy groceries at supermarkets, grocery stores and some Farmers Markets. This dataset provides data on the number of households, recipients and cash assistance provided through the Food Assistance Program participation in Iowa by month and county starting in January 2011 and updated monthly. Beginning January 2017, the method used to identify households is based on the following: 1. If one or more individuals receiving Food Assistance also receives FIP, the household is categorized as FA/FIP. 2. If no one receives FIP, but at least one individual also receives Medical Assistance, the household is categorized as FA/Medical Assistance. 3. If no one receives FIP or Medical Assistance, but at least one individual receives Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa or hawk-i benefits, the household is categorized as FA/hawk-i. 4. If no one receives FIP, Medical Assistance or hawk-i , the household is categorized as FA Only. Changes have also been made to reflect more accurate identification of individuals. The same categories from above are used in identifying an individual's circumstances. Previously, the household category was assigned to all individuals of the Food Assistance household, regardless of individual status. This change in how individuals are categorized provides a more accurate count of individual categories. Timing of when the report is run also changed starting January 2017. Reports were previously ran on the 1st, but changed to the 17th to better capture Food Assistance households that received benefits for the prior month. This may give the impression that caseloads have increased when in reality, under the previous approach, cases were missed.

Designated Wetlands in Iowa
mydata.iowa.gov | Last Updated 2023-12-05T16:24:54.000ZThis dataset highlights wetlands designated for protection in the State of Iowa. Designated wetland is defined in Iowa Code subsection 459.102(21) as follows: 21. "Designated wetland" means land designated as a protected wetland by the United States Department of the Interior or the Department of Natural Resources, including but not limited to a protected wetland as defined in section 456B.1, if the land is owned and managed by the federal government or the Department of Natural Resources. However, a designated wetland does not include land where an agricultural drainage well has been plugged causing a temporary wetland or land within a drainage district or levee district. As referenced in the foregoing definition, protected wetland is defined in Iowa Code subsection 456B.1(4) as follows: 4. "Protected wetlands" means type 3, type 4, and type 5 wetlands as described in circular 39, Wetlands of the United States, 1971 Edition, published by the United States Department of the Interior. However, a protected wetland does not include land where an agricultural drainage well has been plugged causing a temporary wetland or land within a drainage district or levee district. Iowa Code paragraph 459.310(1)(b) provides: b. A confinement feeding operation structure shall not be constructed if the confinement feeding operation structure as constructed is closer than any of the following: Five hundred (500) feet away from a water source other than a major water source. (2) One thousand (1,000) feet away from a major water source. (3) Two thousand five hundred (2,500) feet away from a designated wetland. Separation distances apply to all confinement feeding operations regardless of size and whether a permit is needed. Open feedlots are separate and do not have any separation distances. If there is already a confinement within 2,500 feet of an existing wetland, it will not prevent the designation from occurring. For separation distances to other items (neighbors, towns, parks, etc.) - the confinement is grand fathered in since it was there before the separation distance was expanded. It will work similarly in this case - a confinement could be there and be exempt from the 2,500 foot separation distance since it was there before the separation distance was imposed. But no new confinements would be allowed in the 2,500 feet once the designation takes place. A designated wetland will not be "established" if closer than 2,500 feet of an existing confinement. Any wetlands created or restored on state or federal lands within 2,500 feet of an existing confinement will not be eligible for designation. These separation distances do not apply If the Confinement Animal Feeding Operation Structure includes construction of a secondary containment barrier
