Committee asks staff to clarify RV/campground language after concerns about scope

Committee members raised questions about a new draft sentence that says travel trailers and other recreational vehicles with self-contained units "shall meet the requirements of this ordinance." Staff explained the intention is to prevent individuals from discharging RV waste to the ground and that licensed campgrounds and DNR-licensed dump stations are already addressed elsewhere in the ordinance and under DNR rules.
