EPA

I want to bring to the attention of our industry that there is presently a bill in the Ohio Senate, House Bill 237, which apparently removes the EPA from responsibility on septic tanks. The word is that this is okay with the EPA, it is okay with a lot of other folks, and we think it is great.

If you would like to weigh in with your Senator or Representative on this bill, don’t be a slacker. A vote may be tomorrow, and it may be later, but you never know. A lame duck legislature could pass this bill, and we could use your help to pass it.

Now, there is a point of view that the present law gives authority now to the county health departments on septic tanks, but lately the state EPA has made serious moves to control certain types of septic tank developments. So, this law would supposedly clear this question up.

However, the details of this law are somewhat confusing. If someone can explain to me how it will work, and I hope it will, call me at 614-886-7730.
