Purpose

Chapter 25 is being amended to change the requirements for county evaluation of soils for new and replacement POWTS, consistent with state administrative code, and to provide correct and updated references to previously amended state statute and administrative code.  Additionally, the title of Chapter 25 is being amended to match the title of Wis. Admin. Code Ch. SPS 383.

Background

Background: Wis. Admin. Code Ch. SPS 383 Private Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (POWTS) establishes uniform standards and criteria for the design, installation, inspection and management of POWTS so that the system is safe and will protect pubic health and the waters of the state.

 

Wis. Stat. §145.20 specifies the POWTS regulatory requirements for local units of government to administer the requirements set forth in Wis. Admin. Code Ch. SPS 383. In Sauk County, the administration of POWTS requirements is by the Conservation, Planning, and Zoning Department through Chapter 25 Private Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems.

 

Chapter 25 is being amended to change the requirements for county evaluation of soils for new and replacement POWTS, consistent with state administrative code, and to provide correct and updated references to previously amended state statute and administrative code.  Additionally, the title of Chapter 25 is being amended to match the title of Wis. Admin. Code Ch. SPS 383.

 

Pursuant to Wis. Stat §145.20(3)(b) and Wis. Admin. Code §383(5)(b), the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services has reviewed and approved  the amendment to Chapter 25 Private Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems as meeting Wisconsin State Statutes and Administrative Code.
