The 2004 edition of "Recommended Standards for Wastewater Facilities" by the Great Lakes - Upper Mississippi River Board of State and Provincial Public Health and Environmental Managers is available. This manual is commonly referred to as The Ten-State Standards. This wastewater facilities design document is an update prepared jointly by a board including ten midwestern states and the Province of Ontario.

Iowa is represented on the Board. It is referenced in state rules and is used by the IDNR to supplement Iowa's Wastewater Design Standards for sewage works. IDNR does not stock copies.
