"Regulations for Site Application for Domestic Wastewater Treatment Works"
Private and municipal applicants for approval of sites for the location of wastewater treatment works shall directly bear the cost of the rule and it is presumed that their cost will become a component of subsequent wastewater treatment fees imposed on persons or entities ultimately using the proposed treatment works. Such costs are those incurred by the site applicants for preparation of engineering studies and reports. The specific dollar amount will be a function of the complexity and size of the proposed wastewater treatment plant. The beneficiaries of this rule are those persons or entities utilizing the waters of the State into which the discharge from the proposed site would flow. The positive fiscal impact of this rule on beneficiaries will be from preservation of existing uses of the waters of the State from which users receive economic gain and other benefits.
Although there will be additional costs involved in the compliance with the requirements of this regulation, there was no specific economic data submitted to the Commission through the public hearing process and no testimony was given that the regulations themselves would cause an adverse economic burden. Furthermore such costs would be incurred as a part of the planning and permit processes.
