The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing a National Inspection Plan for Domestic Waste Water Treatment Systems (to be called the ‘Inspection Plan’ throughout this document) as required under the Water Services (Amendment) Act 2012. Domestic waste water treatment systems can and do cause pollution when they are not properly sited, installed or maintained. This discussion document sets out the general principles which the EPA proposes to use in the Inspection Plan, drawing on experience and best international practice in science and regulation. The EPA invites interested parties and individuals to submit comments for consideration.
