Sec.22a-354i-3. Adoption of municipal regulations; commissioner's approval

(a) Not later than six (6) months after a municipality receives notice from the Commissioner that a level A mapping boundary is located in such municipality, the municipal aquifer protection agency thereof shall adopt regulations pursuant to section 22a-354p of the Connecticut General Statutes.

(b) The Commissioner shall submit written notification of approval or disapproval of such regulations to the municipal aquifer protection agency pursuant to section 22a-354p(f) of the Connecticut General Statutes. If the Commissioner disapproves a municipal regulation, the municipal aquifer protection agency shall, not later than ninety (90) days after such disapproval, adopt and submit a revision that corrects and addresses the deficiencies identified by the Commissioner. The Commissioner shall consider such revised regulation in the same manner he considers a regulation submitted under this section.

(c) Once a regulation becomes effective pursuant to section 22a-354p(f) of the Connecticut General Statutes, any amendments thereto shall only become effective when the Commissioner determines, in writing, that the amended regulation is reasonably related to ground water protection and is not inconsistent with the state aquifer protection regulations.
