Workshops on On-Site Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems Regulations
Set for Feb. 3 in Dover and Feb. 12 in Georgetown
DNREC’s Ground Water Discharges Section will hold two public workshops, Feb. 3 in Dover and Feb. 12 in Georgetown, on proposed amendments to the Regulations Governing the Design, Installation and Operation of On-Site Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems.
The workshops are:
• 5 – 8 p.m., Feb. 3: DNREC Auditorium, Richardson and Robbins Building, 89 Kings Hwy., Dover.
• 4 – 7 p.m., Feb. 12: CHEER Center, Room A, 20520 Sand Hill Road, Georgetown
The workshops will review the proposed amendments that include separating large and small wastewater treatment and disposal system requirements and including spray irrigation in the current regulation. In addition, licensing and transportation requirements and the permitting process will be presented and discussed.
The proposed regulation can be viewed on DNREC’s website, www.wr.dnrec.delaware.gov/Information/GWDInfo/Pages/GWDSDesignInstallOperateInfoForProposedWWTreatmentRegs.aspx
The wastewater utility and building industry, contractors, developers, engineers, realtors, farmers, current and future homeowners and others who may be affected by the proposed changes are encouraged to attend a workshop.
