The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency will conduct a public hearing on proposed amendments to the following rules of the Administrative Code: 3745-11-01, Definitions; 3745-11-02, Standard and special connection bans; and 3745-11-03, Connection ban variances. The Connection Ban Standards allow Ohio EPA to issue orders to either a municipality or a governmental body to prohibit connection to sanitary sewers or installation of new on-lot treatment systems for households, etc., if there is a proven or imminent public health or environmental impact. The proposed rule changes are simply to address the change at the legislative level and do not alter how the connection bans are considered or enacted. The hearing will be held February 27, 2008. Comments are due February 27, 2008. http://www.registerofohio.state.oh.us/pdfs/phn/3745_NO_44098_20080122_0832.pdf.
