SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Permits for private sewerage facilities; waiver of filing requirement. Provides that the State Water Control Board may grant to an operator of a private sewerage facility that was permitted prior to January 1, 2001and discharges less than 5,000 gallons of effluent per day, a waiver of the requirement to file a plan to control, prevent, or contain a threat to public health or the environment from the closure of such facility. The waiver may be issued upon a finding by the Board that, for at least five years, such person has not violated any regulation or order of the Board, any condition of a permit to operate such facility, or any other provision of the State Water Control Law. However, such waiver may not be issued until the governing body of the locality in which the facility is located approves the waiver after holding a public hearing and the Board may revoke the waiver for good cause. Any operator who receives a waiver and later ceases operation would, if such cessation results in significant harm, or an imminent and substantial risk of significant harm to human health and the environment, be guilty of a Class 4 felony and liable to the Commonwealth and any applicable political subdivision.
