Rarely enforced, most weekend fundraisers are in violation of the Clean Water Act and water-discharge standards, said Bill Ehm, of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources' Water Quality Bureau. The soap, scum and debris washing into the storm sewer does affect water quality.

Illinois lawmakers and the Department of Natural Resources recently began discussions on ways to regulate hydraulic fragmenting, known as fracking. Its use is expanding for natural gas exploration. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates shale gas will make up at least 20 percent of the nation's total natural gas supply by 2020.

Stopping their small boat near the mouth of the Patapsco River recently, Watts and Volpitta, who work for the state Department of Natural Resources, tested water clarity by measuring the Secchi depth, or how deep a disk could be dropped before it disappeared.
