Action 4083
General Information
| Action Summary |
Chapter 202 of the 2013 Acts of Assembly (HB 1726) requires the Board of Health to promulgate regulations for chamber and bundled expanded polystyrene effluent systems. The Board may promulgate regulations for other distribution technologies. HB1726 specifies that regulations must be effective within 280 days of enactment (on or before December 12, 2013). The Board is using the emergency rulemaking process authorized by the Administrative Process Act to promulgate regulations within 280 days.
The Sewage Handling and Disposal Regulations (12 VAC 5-610-20 et. seq., the Regulations) contain construction, design, and installation requirements for gravel and pipe effluent absorption trench, low pressure distribution, elevated sand mound, and sand-on-sand systems. The Regulations, as amended, will establish construction, design, and installation requirements for gravelless material and drip dispersal systems.
