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:

Section 19-5-107 authorizes the Utah Water Quality Board to require discharge permits to control the management of sewage sludge or to prevent or control the discharge of pollutants, including effluent limitations for the discharge of waste into the waters of the state. Subsection 19-5-108(1) authorizes the Utah Water Quality Board to make rules and require the submission of plans, specifications, and other information to the director in connection with the issuance of discharge permits.

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

No comments have been received since the implementation of the rule five years ago.

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

The purpose of the rule is to ensure proper operation and maintenance of sewer collection systems in the state of Utah. The rule has minimum standards for planning, design, operation, and maintenance of sewer collection systems. The rule requires that these minimum standards be met by federal, state, municipal, and special service districts that own and operate sewer collection systems within the state of Utah. The rule requires reporting of sanitary sewer overflows to ensure that the public and environment are protected from discharges from a sewer collection system. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
