PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY
The purpose of this chapter is to establish minimum requirements for regulation of individual subsurface sewage treatment systems (ISTS) and midsized subsurface sewage treatment systems (MSTS) for the treatment and dispersal of sewage within the applicable jurisdiction of the city to protect public health and safety, groundwater quality, and prevent or eliminate the development of public nuisances. It is intended to serve the best interests of the city's citizens by protecting its health, safety, general welfare, and natural resources.
(Ord. 555, passed 7-28-2015)
It is intended by the city that this chapter will promote the following:
(A) The protection of lakes, rivers and streams, wetlands, and groundwater in the City of Park Rapids essential to the promotion of public health, safety, welfare, socioeconomic growth and development of the city.
(B) The regulation of proper SSTS construction, reconstruction, repair and maintenance to prevent the entry and migration of contaminants, thereby protecting against the degradation of surface water and groundwater quality.
(C) The establishment of minimum standards for SSTS placement, design, construction, reconstruction, repair and maintenance to prevent contamination and, if contamination is discovered, the identification and control of its consequences and the abatement of its source and migration.
(D) The appropriate utilization of privy vaults and other non-water carried sewage collection and storage facilities.
(E) The provision of technical assistance and education, plan review, inspections, SSTS surveys and complaint investigations to prevent and control water-borne diseases, lake degradation, groundwater-related hazards, and public nuisance conditions.
