SF 2311– DNR departmental bill / general permitting

SF 2311 is the DNR’s technical clean-up for general permits in storm water discharge or air contamination. In addition, it strikes notice for the permittee to publish in print, and allows the DNR to publish electronically. The bill also removes the current provision of a written application with the DNR if a person wishes to erect a structure in a floodplain. In return, it allows the Environmental Protection Council to adopt rules for issuing general permits. [2/22: 36-13, Party line (Excused: Zaun)]
