PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of this rulemaking is to reduce the number of copies of site plans, and the requirements for such site plans, that are submitted for public supply well construction permit applications.
SUMMARY: This amendment is part of a District rulemaking initiative to reduce the number of copies of permit application forms, supporting documentation and compliance-related reports and documents that are required to be submitted. The overall effect of the rulemaking will be to reduce costs to the public that are associated with the submittal of permit applications and the reporting of permit compliance activities to the District.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein:
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
