Bill > S0212

This bill proposes to allow the Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) to delegate the authority to conduct technical reviews for potable water supply and wastewater system connections to municipalities, provided the municipality owns and controls the relevant water and sewer lines and meets other qualifications set by the ANR. It also mandates the ANR to create a general permit for these types of connections when reviewed by delegated municipalities, which simplifies the permitting process for certain projects. The bill also clarifies definitions for "potable water supply" and "wastewater system" to include service connections to public systems and makes a minor adjustment to fee limitations for projects in designated Vermont neighborhoods, while also establishing a new fee for projects permitted under the new general permit program.
