What DWEE said
In its August 14 response, DWEE said the application met Title 130 requirements. The response describes post-construction inspection, review of land-application records, and groundwater-result review. It also says county and Natural Resources District requirements remain separate. These are the agency’s statements and responsibilities; they do not document completion of each later step. [5]
