WATER QUALITY W/12/79 o Council and Commission, any local govern- ment proposing to alter or improve any existing sewers or other disposal facilities in a manner not specifically approved by the Commission in its review of the local sewer policy plan shall submit its proposal to the Commission for review as a local sewer policy plan amendment before application to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for a sewer construction permit. All amendments to an approved local sewer policy plan shall be reviewed by the Council and Commission in accordance with the above procedures. B. Content of Local Comprehensive Sewer Policy P/an: Genera/Discuss/on The local comprehensive sewer policy plan (CSPP), as part of the comprehensive plan required under the Land Planning Act, is broader in scope than the previously required comprehensive sewer plans. (CSP) of local governments. The sewer system engineering and ultimate system design may change very little or not at all from the original CSP. The CSPP identifies localized service area timing and includes a map showing where and when service would be provided in a certain area. This service area and timing for sewer construction is to be consistent with the comprehensive plan of the local government. In those areas where sanitary sewer is not planned, adequate on-site sewage systems are to be con- structed and maintained so premature installation of sanitary services across rural or open areas is prevented and will not be a burden on the local government. The development of ordinances and administrative programs to ensure the prevention of premature sanitary sewer installation is to be a part of this CSPP. To clarify the local govern- ment's intention to implement this program, each plan should contain adopted specific policies to carry out the plan. C. Content of Local Comprehensive Sewer Plan 1. Local government units are expected to use the 1980, 1990 and 2000 population and employ- merit data included in the regional Water o Quality Management Policy Plan for overall direction on development. If a local unit of government determines that the programmed availability of metropolitan sewer service con- flicts with local need, it may request the Council and Commission to consider amend- merit of the Policy Plan or Development Program. Such requests will be considered pursuant'to administrative and operational procedures established by the Council. The local sewer policy plan submitted to the Commission for review should be consistent with the adopted comprehensive plan of the local government unit. The local sewer policy plan should contain the following information at a I,_eevel of detail sufficient to describe existing and tuture~seWer issues, a~ ?~c6mmend solut:ic~n-s'-a-ncfia~propri- a~t-e ~cilities.- ...... a.
