Minnesota HF5021 requires acceptance of recent test results to determine compliance of subsurface sewage treatment systems.

Minnesota HF5021 amends state statutes to require the acceptance of recent test results for determining compliance of subsurface sewage treatment systems. The bill mandates that agencies, local governments, and inspectors use the best available evidence, prioritizing results less than two years old from specific testing methods. These methods include measurements by accredited laboratories, continuous probe-measured depths, and empirical field measurements. The bill also requires notification of rights to submit such evidence at least 90 days before issuing a notice of noncompliance.
