<br />7080.1050 PURPOSE AND INTENT.
<br />The proper location, design, installation, use, and maintenance of an individual subsurface sewage
<br />treatment system (ISTS) protects the public health, safety, and general welfare by the discharge of adequately
<br />treated sewage to the groundwater. In accordance with the authority granted in Minnesota Statutes, chapters
<br />103F, 103G, 115, and 116, the Pollution Control Agency provides minimum environmental protection
<br />standards for ISTS as defined in this chapter. These environmental protection standards shall be adopted
<br />countywide and administered and enforced by local units of government as directed by chapter 7082 and
<br />Minnesota Statutes, section 115.55.
<br />This chapter regulates all ISTS as defined in this chapter. This chapter does not regulate systems
<br />that do not receive sewage as defined in this chapter. If systems receive both sewage and nonsewage, the
<br />requirements of this chapter apply, plus any additional requirements governing the nonsewage portion of the
<br />wastewater. Systems serving two or more dwellings, systems serving other establishments that serve over
<br />20 persons, and systems receiving nonsewage are also regulated under Code of Federal Regulations, title
<br />40, parts 144 and 146.
<br />This chapter does not regulate systems that discharge to the ground surface or surface waters. Those
<br />systems require a national pollution discharge elimination system permit.
<br />In addition, this chapter provides prescriptive design, construction, and operational standards to
<br />reasonably protect surface water and groundwater and promote public health, safety, and general welfare.
<br />This chapter also provides public health and environmental outcomes as a basis for a custom -designed
<br />system. Technology and products employed in system design shall adequately protect the public health and
<br />the environment as determined by chapter 7083 and be approved for use by the local unit of government.
<br />In conjunction with these standards, the agency encourages the use of advanced treatment methods
<br />and waste reduction to further reduce the discharge of contaminants.
<br />Companion to this chapter are standards for midsized ISTS, chapter 7081; administrative
<br />requirements for local ordinances, permit, and inspection programs, chapter 7082; and certification and
<br />licensing requirements for those who design, install, inspect, manage, or maintain ISTS, chapter 7083.
