What’s in it

This bill requires a minimum septic system use capacity for campgrounds. The environmental protection commission shall require a campground with hookups to have a septic system with a use capacity based on the number of campsites that is rated for the higher of either gallons per day for each camping site using the septic system, or the peak monthly water usage of the septic system for the previous year divided by the number of days in that month and the number of campsites. A campground without a metered water source shall maintain a septic system rated for gallons per day for each campsite.
