The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) seeks public comment on proposed amendments to Chapters 7080 to 7083, rules governing the Subsurface Sewage Treatment System (SSTS) program. The MPCA seeks comment on any subject matter contained in Chapters 7080 to 7083 but is particularly interested in the public's opinions on clarification on the definition and use of soil pits, clarification of flow calculation, modification of sewage tank access requirements (maintenance hole placement), clarification of the pressure distribution requirement in sandy soils, development of a bond to jointly address plumbing and SSTS licensing and clarifications to the existing surety bond language, and adjustment of certification and licensing for mid-sized systems to reflect use of prescriptive designs and design guidance as required in statute. Comments are due November 7, 2008. http://www.pca.state.mn.us/news/data/bdc.cfm?noticeID=279907&blobID=24055&docTypeID=4.
