Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 25, June 18, 2024

Section 646-3.10 - Administration of Regulatory Programs

(a) The Commission shall administer and enforce the Wastewater Inspection Program. The Commission may enter into agreements with Review Authorities for cooperative administration of the provisions of this Subpart, or may delegate administrative authority to Review Authorities, provided that any such agreement and administration is consistent with the intent, purpose and standards of this Subpart. Such agreements shall not limit the Commission from taking enforcement action if it determines that a violation of this Subpart endangers the health, safety and welfare of the public or results in damage to the natural resources of the Park.

(b) When a Wastewater Inspection results in the finding of a Failing or Substandard system, the Commission shall, as necessary, recommend the owner retain a NYS licensed professional engineer experienced in subsurface treatment systems and refer the landowner to the appropriate Review Authority for Wastewater Treatment System design and construction review and approval.

(c) To avoid duplicative jurisdiction and administration of Wastewater Treatment System permit programs, the terms of this Subpart do not convey permit jurisdiction to the Commission. Permit jurisdiction associated with the design and construction of Wastewater Treatment Systems, and all powers associated therewith, shall remain with the Review Authorities for Wastewater Treatment Systems in the Lake George basin. At the time of promulgation, the Review Authorities include the Town of Queensbury, Village of Lake George, Town of Lake George, Town of Bolton, Town of Hague, Town of Ticonderoga, Washington County, the Department, and the Department of Health.
