Allows discharge of certain wastewater without permit if specific conditions are met.
The bill modifies Michigan's environmental protection law by allowing the discharge of cooling water, wash water, or other wastewater from a farm product production process without a permit if certain conditions are met. These conditions include a limit of 100,000 gallons per year, no hazardous waste, no discharge into surface water, and no interference with groundwater quality. The wastewater must be stored in a watertight vessel and applied to land in a manner that prevents leakage, erosion, and nuisance conditions.
