NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Subsection 19-5-104(1)(f)(iv) authorizes the Utah Water Quality Board to adopt rules to protect the public health for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of individual wastewater disposal systems.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

This rule was last amended on 1/30/2003. The limited comments which were received on the rule were of a technical and noncontroversial nature. Comments received during hearings and public comment periods for rule changes were addressed through preparation of responsiveness summaries by the Division of Water Quality staff and have been presented to the Water Quality Board for their consideration during the rulemaking process. All changes to this rule are reviewed by a technical review committee consisting of the regulated community and other interested and affected parties that was formed to provide input to the Division of Water Quality and the Board.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule is required to protect the public health for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of individual wastewater disposal systems; and therefore, the rule should be continued.
