Summary

The bill would require owners of facilities that discharge waste—such as surface impoundments, waste pits, injection wells, mines, and on‑site sewage systems—to obtain an aquifer protection permit and would give the state director authority to set conditions, require monitoring, and hold public hearings. It also permits towns with populations between 1,000 and 9,999 residents to conduct bacteriological testing on‑site using EPA‑approved equipment. The governor vetoed the measure, so it did not become law.
