Overview
DEQ initiated this rulemaking in compliance with Executive Order No. 2020-01, Zero-Based Regulation (EO 2020-01), issued by Governor Little on January 16, 2020. Pursuant to EO 2020-01, each rule chapter effective on June 30, 2020, shall be reviewed by the agency that promulgated the rule. The review will be conducted according to a schedule established by the Division of Financial Management, Office of the Governor (DFM), posted at https://adminrules.idaho.gov/forms_menu.html. This is one of the DEQ rule chapters up for review in 2024. The goal of the rulemaking is to perform a critical and comprehensive review of the entire chapter in an attempt to reduce overall regulatory burden, streamline various provisions, increase clarity and ease of use.
Major proposed changes to the rule include removing and replacing definitions, revising and simplifying septic tank approvals, removing specific requirements for large septic tanks, reducing setbacks to surface water, combining the cleaning of septic tanks sections into one, simplifying the permitting process for service providers, and identifying certain provisions of the Technical Guidance Manual for Individual and Subsurface Sewage Disposal Systems to be moved into the rule.
