This quarter, we received reports for 26 HIV diagnoses. So far this year, there have been 79 HIV diagnoses reported, exactly the same as this time last year. Thirty-five percent received concurrent AIDS diagnoses. There were 57 AIDS diagnoses in the first three quarters of 2005, 20% higher than what we saw at this time last year. Nearly half (47%) of these were persons who had been diagnosed with HIV for at least one year (fifteen years for two persons), and the rest received concurrent HIV and AIDS diagnoses. In surveillance news, Illinois, Maine, and Philadelphia have announced that they will begin HIV reporting by name on January 1, 2006. Currently they use code or name-to-code systems to report new diagnoses of HIV. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not accept information from areas that report HIV cases by code, so no national surveillance data are available for HIV diagnoses. For this reason, Ryan White CARE Act funds cannot be appropriated according to the number of persons living with HIV. Instead, funds are distributed according to the number of AIDS cases reported to surveillance systems. These data are not representative of current trends in the epidemic and may be rewarding areas for having poorer health care systems.

According to the 1972 Clean Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established a set of regulations for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The purpose of these regulations is to reduce pollution of the nation’s waterways. In addition to other pollutants, the NPDES regulates stormwater discharges associated with industrial activities, municipal storm sewer systems, and construction sites. Phase II of the NPDES stormwater regulations, which went into effect in Iowa in 2003, applies to construction activities that disturb more than one acre of ground. The regulations also require certain communities with Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) to perform education, inspection, and regulation activities to reduce stormwater pollution within their communities. Iowa does not currently have a resource to provide guidance on the stormwater regulations to contractors, designers, engineers, and municipal staff. The Statewide Urban Design and Specifications (SUDAS) manuals are widely accepted as the statewide standard for public improvements. The SUDAS Design manual currently contains a brief chapter (Chapter 7) on erosion and sediment control; however, it is outdated, and Phase II of the NPDES stormwater regulations is not discussed. In response to the need for guidance, this chapter was completely rewritten. It now escribes the need for erosion and sediment control and explains the NPDES stormwater regulations. It provides information for the development and completion of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) that comply with the stormwater regulations, as well as the proper design and implementation of 28 different erosion and sediment control practices. In addition to the design chapter, this project also updated a section in the SUDAS Specifications manual (Section 9040), which describes the proper materials and methods of construction for the erosion and sediment control practices.
