HB 2243 - DIGEST |
Requires the department of ecology to amend the state's water quality standards to authorize compliance schedules for discharge permits issued under chapter 90.48 RCW (water pollution control) that implement a total maximum daily load, to provide that a compliance schedule may exceed ten years only if, during the first ten years, the entity seeking an extended compliance schedule has made significant investments in advanced treatment technology and has substantially reduced pollutant loading. |
