Amendments to subsurface treatment system rules required to refer to straight-pipe system statutory requirements.

Related bill: SF1154

AI Generated Summary

Purpose of the Bill

The purpose of this bill is to make changes to the rules related to subsurface treatment systems, specifically to ensure they align with existing statutory requirements on straight pipe systems.

Main Provisions

  • Amendment of Rules: The bill requires the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency to amend the Minnesota Rules (chapters 7080 to 7083). These changes must explicitly include references to the duties of inspectors as outlined in Minnesota Statutes section 115.55, subdivision 11.
  • Rule Adoption Process: The commissioner is allowed to use the "good cause exemption" to expedite the rule amendment process. This means certain typical procedural steps under section 14.386 don't apply, facilitating quicker implementation.

Significant Changes

  • The bill does not introduce new statutory requirements but ensures that existing rules properly reference and align with current statutory obligations concerning subsurface and straight pipe systems.

Relevant Terms

subsurface treatment system, straight pipe system, Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota Rules chapters 7080-7083, statutory requirements, good cause exemption, inspectors' obligations.
