Reg. 22 - Site Location and Design Regulations for Domestic Wastewater Treatment Works

In March 2020, stakeholder workgroups could not reach a consensus on two items during the discussions leading up to the Water Quality Control Commission hearing for Regulation 22: Site Location and Design Regulations for Domestic Wastewater Treatment Works. At the annual Water Quality Forum retreat held on July 8 and 9, 2021, participants agreed to establish an ongoing workgroup to prepare for a future rulemaking hearing. The division is now hosting routine workgroup meetings to determine the feasibility of future regulatory changes.

This workgroup aims to find an agreed pathway for historical infrastructure that does not have documentation demonstrating site location and design approval and explore the possibility of construction flexibility through the site location and design application processes. These workgroup meetings occur on the last Monday of each month until May 2024.

The Regulation 22 workgroup meetings will occur on the last Monday of each month until May 2024. Currently, there is no scheduled rulemaking hearing for Regulation 22 by the Water Quality Control Commission.
