Wastewater

Systems for treatment and disposal of wastewater must be operated and maintained in a manner to prevent contamination of the environment. Wastewater systems must be in compliance with: 1) the Clean Water Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq); 2) the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 300f et seq.), or 3) the Primacy Agency (e.g. the agency designated by Federal law as having oversight responsibility) requirements; and 4) as appropriate, additional requirements provided in RM83A-2. Unregulated systems must be maintained in a manner similar to regulated systems and following best management practices. Wastewater systems will be designed, constructed, and operated in accordance with local, state, NPS, and federal codes pertaining to wastewater systems. Any new wastewater systems, or modifications to existing systems, will be reviewed and approved by the Director, Office of Public Health, or designee, before construction starts.
