State approves major revisions to septic tank rules
The Environmental Protection Commission in Des Moines approved first major septic tank rule changes in 10 years allowing new tech and banning metal tanks, prohibiting earth pit toilets, and clarifying disposal. It rejected hazardous waste site criteria pending feasible maps and deferred underground storage tank rules over 40 foot wells and installer certification. A Cedar Rapids trailer court case was sent to the attorney general over failure to monitor drinking water.
