Kansas Administrative Regulations › Agency 28 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT › Article 16 - WATER POLLUTION CONTROL › Section 28-16-80 - Elements of plan

Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 28, July 11,
			 2024
(a) Each plan shall
			 incorporate the following elements:
(1) The
			 projected population development of the county for a twenty-five (25) year
			 period beginning June 30, 1980, with subprojections for each five (5) year
			 increment;
(2) Description of each
			 existing sewerage system including treatment plants, major pumping stations,
			 interceptors, and areas of combined sewers, including the age, size and
			 capacity and ownership of each major unit;
(3) An evaluation of the projected ability of
			 existing and projected sewerage systems to meet water quality standards (K.A.R.
			 28-16-28 and K.A.R. 28-16-28a);
(4) The schedule whereby new sewerage systems
			 will be constructed or existing sewerage systems expanded to provide service
			 for new areas. The schedule shall be such that:
(A) no new permanent treatment facilities
			 will be projected in areas where sewer systems exist unless there is reasonable
			 evidence that the waste to be treated is incompatible or that the existing
			 system would be overloaded;
(B)
			 temporary wastewater treatment facilities may be provided in areas without
			 sewer service, and in which there is a reasonable potential for the
			 construction of new interceptors;
(C) new treatment facilities will be provided
			 in areas where no treatment facilities exist and interceptors are not within a
			 reasonable distance or are not economically feasible;
(D) simplicity, reliability and energy
			 efficiency will be emphasized in the design of treatment systems;
(E) the proliferation of very small waste
			 treatment systems will be discouraged in metropolitan areas; and,
(F) agricultural and municipal waste disposal
			 irrigation systems will be encouraged where practicable and will take into
			 account the maintenance of minimum flow levels in receiving waters and
			 established water rights;
(5) A description of each community water
			 delivery system, including sources of supply, major storage facilities, major
			 lines, pumping stations, and treatment plants;
(6) The schedule whereby new water supply
			 systems will be constructed or existing systems expanded to provide service for
			 those areas in which additional population development is projected;
(7) A description of the mechanisms to be
			 used to coordinate the provision of water delivery and sewerage services in
			 those areas in which further population growth or industrial development is
			 projected;
(8) A land use map
			 indicating those areas in which on-site residential wastewater treatment
			 facilities may be used, a description of the permit and inspection system used
			 to regulate such developments, and the conditions imposed to assure
			 satisfactory operation over a reasonable period of time;
(9) Copies of agreements between units of
			 local government necessary to assure the orderly construction of new or
			 extended sewerage or water delivery facilities;
(10) A land use map showing all significant
			 waterways, flood plains and floodways, parks, lakes and reservoirs,
			 recreational areas, sanitation zones, and critical water quality management
			 areas and clearly establishing the relationship between these land uses and
			 existing and projected water delivery and sewerage systems;
(11) Any predicted community developments
			 which will have a major impact on the demands for water supply or sewerage
			 service;
(12) The location of
			 existing industrial waste treatment facilities, an assessment of potential
			 waste loads and the relationship of these loads to those imposed by municipal
			 discharges;
(13) The estimated
			 costs of projected improvements for sewerage system extensions during the first
			 five (5) year period of the twenty-five (25) year plan;
(14) An evaluation of the extent to which
			 wastewater may be used for municipal or agricultural irrigation and the extent
			 to which municipal wastewater may be reclaimed for industrial use;
(15) An evaluation of the extent to which
			 urban stormwater runoff may contribute to violation of water quality standards,
			 (K.A.R. 28-16-28 and K.A.R. 28-16-28a);
(16) Description and evaluation of current
			 and projected sludge disposal practices and facilities;
(17) Identification of any relationships
			 between the projected sewerage plans and county air quality maintenance plans;
			 and
(18) A plan and schedule for
			 review and updating of the plan at five (5) year intervals.
