Section 096-375-6 - No Unreasonable Adverse Effect on Surface Water QualityA.Preamble. The Department recognizes that developments have the potential to cause the pollution of surface waters through both point and non-point sources of pollution.B.Scope of Review.

Applications for approval of proposed developments shall include evidence that affirmatively demonstrates that there will be no unreasonable adverse effect on surface water quality, including information such as the following, when appropriate: (1) Where sewage disposal is to be handled off-site by a municipal or quasi-municipal sewage treatment facility, a letter from the authorized agent of the facility stating that there is adequate capacity to ensure satisfactory treatment.(2) Evidence that a waste discharge license, as required by 38 M.R.S.A. Sections413et seq., has been or will be obtained.D.Terms and Conditions.
