The public is invited to
comment, from August 24 through September 28, 2015, on the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency’s proposed amendments to state rules relating to Subsurface
Sewage Treatment Systems (SSTS). The MPCA is proposing to amend its SSTS rules, specifically Minnesota Rules, chapters 7080, 7081 and 7083, to comply with two rulemaking directives
received during the 2015 Minnesota Legislative Session. The proposed amendments
will: (1) simplify the
regulation and administration of work on building sewers connected to septic
systems; and (2) establish a process for septic professionals who have not met
their continuing education requirements to apply for a one-year extension of professional
certification eligibility.
To review a copy of the MPCA’s notice
of intention to adopt the proposed expedited rule amendments without a public
hearing, please go to the following Web page: www.pca.state.mn.us/iryp3c9. The proposed amendments and the MPCA’s
justification for them are also available at this location. In addition, the
public notice and a copy of the proposed rule amendments are published in
today’s (August 24th) State Register at the following
location: http://www.comm.media.state.mn.us/bookstore/mnbookstore.asp?page=register.
You are
encouraged to submit comments on the proposed rule amendments. As indicated in
the notice, all written comments need to be submitted to the MPCA contact
person, Mr. Nick Haig, by no later than 4:30 p.m. on September 28, 2015. Please
contact Mr. Haig if you have any related questions regarding this rulemaking at
