DAR File No.: 37241
Filed: 01/31/2013 04:24:35 PM

NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

This rule was adopted in 2008 to implement the requirements of the Wastewater Reuse Act, Section 73-3c-304. The Water Quality Board is given rulemaking authority in Section 19-4-104 of the Utah Water Quality Act.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No comments either supporting or opposing the rule were received since the rule was originally adopted in February 2008.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

The proposed rule defines terms and adds administrative procedures for considering changes in the point of discharge from a publicly owned wastewater treatment plant. These procedures are needed to implement the requirements of Section 73-3c-304 and administer the Utah Pollution Discharge Elimination System (UPDES) under Rule R317-8. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
