18 AAC 72.240. Approval to operate

(a) For a project that requires plan approval under 18 AAC 72.200, but does not require engineering plans, an approval to operate the system will accompany the approval to construct the system.

(b) For a wastewater collection, treatment, or disposal system, or designated phases of such a system for which engineering plans are required in 18 AAC 72.205,

(1) an approval to operate the system for a 90-day interim period will accompany the approval to construct the system;

(2) operation of the system, or a designated phase of the system, beyond the 90-day interim period is prohibited unless

(A) the system, or a designated phase of that system, has received final approval from the department to operate under this section; or

(B) the department, to the extent that an extension is protective of public health, public and private water systems, and the environment, extends the 90-day interim period in order to provide additional time for the owner of the project to submit the information required by 18 AAC 72.235; and

(3) the department will issue final approval to operate within 30 days after receipt of the information required by 18 AAC 72.235 if the information confirms that

(A) the system was constructed as originally approved; or

(B) the system, or a designated phase of that system, otherwise meets the requirements of AS 46.03 and this chapter.

(c) The department will require periodic groundwater monitoring as a condition to operate if the department finds that there is a concern about public health, public and private water systems, or the environment.
