What’s in it

This bill affects administrative procedures within the department of natural resources. Division I of the bill creates a 60-day period during which an entity may appeal an order issued by the director or the department pursuant to the department’s authority in Code chapter 455B. The start of the 60-day period is contingent on what type of entity seeks an appeal. Division I makes conforming changes throughout Code chapter 455B. The issuance and appeal of an order pursuant to Code chapters 455D (waste volume reduction and recycling) and 458A (oil, gas, and other minerals) also conform to the new 60-day period.

Read the full explanation

Division I of the bill also provides that a rural water association organized under Code chapter 357A or 504 shall be considered to have met permitting requirements for sewer extensions and water supply distribution systems if the rural water association employs or retains a licensed engineer. Division II of the bill allows the environmental protection commission to exempt from permit requirements a class of waste disposal systems that do not discharge into water of the state and are not currently exempt. Division II also allows the director to waive the permit requirement of an individual system that does not discharge into a water of the state. To issue such an exemption or waiver, the commission or director must first consider the volume, location, frequency, and nature of the system or class of systems. Finally, Division II eliminates the requirement that notice of a recommendation to grant a permit to a community public water supply be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the county and removes out-of-date language.
