WINDSOR HEIGHTS, Iowa — Officials say Iowa had more polluted waterways last year than any year since the state started compiling records 14 years ago.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says the number exceeded 570 in 2010.

The numbers were presented Tuesday at a meeting of the Environmental Protection Commission in Windsor Heights.

The department says common problems afflicting streams and rivers include E. coli bacteria and fish kills.

For lakes, the main problems cited are algae, bacteria and non-algal turbidity.
