The regulatory impact report (RIR) for proposed revisions to 10 CSR 20-6.030 Disposal of Wastewater in Residential Housing Developments, is available for public review and comment until April 10, 2023. Written comments may be submitted by mail to Michael Abbott, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Water Protection Program, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0176 or online through the Regulatory Action Tracking System. Please include your contact information: name, email address and phone number.
An RIR is required at the beginning of the rulemaking process for rules recommending environmental standards or conditions. It documents the environmental and economic costs and benefits associated with the proposed rule changes. The department invites the public to review and submit comments to help ensure that our regulations provide required protections but do not add unneeded costs. Only the RIR is open for public comment at this time. The proposed rule will be open for public comment at a later date.
The proposed rule amendment sets forth requirements for developers of residential housing to determine the method of wastewater disposal. This rule applies to all new residential housing developments and existing subdivisions that were required to comply with previous regulations that were effective June 30, 1974, June 26, 1975, May 15, 1984 or March 30, 1999, but have not received department approval. For additional details please view the rulemaking report.
