Acceptance of best evidence to determine subsurface sewage treatment system compliance required.
Introduction and first reading, referred to Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy
Summary
The bill adds a new rule to Minnesota law requiring state agencies, local governments, and inspectors to rely on the most current, reliable evidence of groundwater contamination when evaluating subsurface sewage treatment systems. Property owners can submit test results that are less than two years old from specified methods, and they must be given at least 90 days notice of their rights before a non‑compliance notice is issued. This aims to ensure decisions are based on up‑to‑date scientific data.
