WPCA adopts update to Rules Section 17 to align with DEP; creates three-member review subcommittee
Summary
The authority approved revisions to WPCA rules (Section 17) to reflect state DEP terminology for non-significant industrial users and voted to form a three-member subcommittee to review rules and report recommended revisions later in the year.
At its June 2 meeting, the South Windsor Water Pollution Control Authority approved proposed revisions to Section 17 of its rules and regulations to bring local language into alignment with the state Department of Environmental Protection’s designation of a "non-significant industrial user" and the miscellaneous industrial user program.
A board member moved to adopt the changes to Section 17; the motion was seconded and the authority voted in favor. Staff said the revisions were discussed at a May 5 public hearing and that no public comment was received.
The board also approved a motion to create a limited subcommittee to review rules and regulations in further detail. The motion, read aloud for the record, specified membership and scope: "Motion to create a subcommittee made up of Mark, Sami, and Mike Lyon to review the WPCA rules and regulations and report back to the full body of the WPCA with recommended revisions to be discussed at a future meeting." That motion carried; members discussed meeting a few times over the summer and returning recommendations in the fall or within the upcoming fiscal year.
Board members emphasized keeping the subcommittee small so its work would be productive and not become a full board meeting in practice. Staff said the review would include updates where state terminology and program classifications have changed.
