The
department shall provide by rule or regulation for the regulation and permitting
of any land disposal site that receives septic tank waste from more than one
septic tank pumping and hauling business; provided, however, that no such permit
shall be issued except on the written approval of the governing authority of
each county in which such site is wholly or partially
located;
provided, further, that no such approval shall be required if such site was in
operation as of July 1, 2002. No such
site which was not in operation on January 1, 2002, shall receive septic tank
waste on or after July 1, 2002, unless a permit has been issued by the
department."
SECTION
2.
This
Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its
becoming law without such approval.
SECTION
3.
All
laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
