Rules and Regulations for the Operations and Maintenance of Wastewater Treatment Facilities
250-RICR-150-10-4 INACTIVE RULE
Title | 250 | Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management |
Chapter | 150 | Water Resources |
Subchapter | 10 | Wastewater & Storm Water |
Part | 4 | Rules and Regulations for the Operations and Maintenance of Wastewater Treatment Facilities |
Type of Filing | Amendment |
Regulation Status | Inactive |
Effective | 05/19/2008 to 05/19/2008 |
Regulation Authority:
Chapters 46-12, 42-35, 42-17.1 and 42-17.6
Purpose and Reason:
The amendments will bring statutory consistency to the rules, and seek to better protect public health and water quality by improving oversight of privately owned wastewater collection and pumping systems, as well as clarifying DEM’s general oversight of such systems. Both the existing and draft rules oversee wastewater treatment facilities with surface water discharges only; sub-surface disposal systems are not under the authority of these rules.
