TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL, RELATING TO LICENSE TO CONSTRUCT OR CLEAN ON-SITE SEWAGE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL SYSTEMS AND SELF-CONTAINED TOILETS, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 1691, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The regulations of the Department of Health and Environmental Control, relating to License to Construct or Clean On-Site Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems and Self-Contained Toilets, designated as Regulation Document Number 1691, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.
The proposed regulation will revise existing Regulation 61-56.1, entitled License to Construct or Clean On-Site Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems and Self-Contained Toilets, which became effective June 22, 1990, and has never been amended. This regulation is being revised in its entirety, in an effort to update terminology and requirements, and to clarify approved procedures and standards for the transporting and dumping of septage.
Significant changes include:
- incorporating standards for the removal and transporting of septage to approved disposal facilities;
- requiring that septage be dumped only at specific locations authorized by the operators of approved disposal facilities;
- reducing from six months to sixty days the waiting period for retesting, for those individuals who initially fail the septic tank contractor's examination;
- incorporating late charges for delinquent payment of license fees;
- updating appeal procedures to conform to the previously revised Regulation 61-72 (Procedures for Contested Cases).
