The Commission held this emergency rulemaking hearing to readopt the revisions adopted by the Commission on November 3, 1997. The readopted provisions are effective immediately and will remain in effect on an emergency basis until June 30, 1998, to provide time for a non-emergency rulemaking hearing. The Commission recently determined that due to an administrative error, an incorrect version of the amended rules was filed with the Secretary of State following the November 3, 1997 rulemaking.
The Commission finds that the immediate adoption of this regulation is imperatively necessary for the preservation of public health, safety, or welfare and that compliance with normal notice requirements would be contrary to the public interest. Emergency adoption is necessary to assure that the published regulation is consistent with the regulation that the Commission adopted, to avoid confusion for the public and be consistent with the Water Quality Control Commission's action.
