Extra time for sewage comments
HARRISBURG - The state Department of Environmental Protection is granting more time for the public to submit comments about proposed rules regulating on-lot sewage disposal systems in environmentally sensitive watersheds containing high-quality water.
The comment period, set to close on May 1, has been extended to June 3.
The proposed rules would affect new development in a wide swath of Wayne County, home to the Delaware River watershed.
Wayne County officials believe the rules will cripple new construction by making on-lot sewage systems too costly.
