NI Senators Kill New Septic Rules
At the urging of North Idaho senators, the Senate has voted 27-7 to reject a Department of Environmental Quality rule to stiffen requirements for new septic systems designed to protect Idaho waters against fecal contamination. “None of us wish to see our lakes and waters degraded,” Sen. Joyce Broadsword, R-Sagle, told the Senate. “That’s not the point here. ..
