THE RULE MAKING PROCESS CONTINUES

Sub. SB 110, which became effective September 17, 2010, made changes to the sewage law for Ohio and authorized the Public Health Council to adopt new rules for sewage treatment systems. The Ohio Department of Health established a Rule Advisory Committee to provide stakeholder input and assistance with the development of the new sewage rules. The committee first met on September 30, 2010, and continues to meet monthly in Columbus. Five OOWA members represent our organization on this committee. If you would like to express your opinion on a particular topic or you have expertise in a specific area and would like to present a paper for consideration, please feel free to do so. A schedule of the listed topics can be viewed by clicking here. Papers should be submitted to ODH at least one week prior to the scheduled discussion date.
