ITEM 1 – CALL TO ORDER

            Vice Chairman Bateman asked Ken Bousfield to call roll of the Board members.  The roll call showed there were 6 members present at the time.

ITEM 4 – AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED WITH FILING THE LONG TERM 1 AND THE LONG TERM 2 ENHANCED SURFACE WATER TREATMENT RULES, STAGE 2 DISINFECTION BY-PRODUCTS RULE, AND THE IMPROVEMENT PRIORITY RULE

 

            Ken Bousfield mentioned the Long Term 1 and Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule and the Stage 2 Disinfection By-Products Rule are federal rules.  EPA enforces these rules since Utah doesn’t have primacy.  Utah needs to adopt corresponding state rules to gain primacy of these rules.  In addition to the federal rules, some changes were made in the Improvement Priority Rule to account for the additions that were made to add the 3 federal rules.

 

Discussion followed. 

 

Danny Fleming moved the Board authorize staff to proceed with filing:  1)  Rules R309-100, 105, 110, 200, 210, 251, 220, 225, and 400 with the appropriate forms and  2) Rules R309-115, 300 and 405 with the appropriate forms for non-substantive changes; with the Division of Administrative Rules for rule adoption.

           

Ron Thompson seconded.
