What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law prohibits the discharge of wastewater from a point source (such as

a pipe) to surface water or groundwater without a permit from the Department of

Natural Resources (DNR). The law generally prohibits DNR from requiring more

than one wastewater discharge permit for a publicly owned sewage treatment

facility or system, regardless of the number of point sources from the system.

This bill eliminates the prohibition on DNR requiring more than one

wastewater discharge permit for a publicly owned sewage treatment or collection

system.
