Lake of the Woods County - SSTS Minnesota Rule Variance and Preliminary Determination
Lake of the Woods County has submitted a variance request to allow septic tanks in the Northwest Angle to be inspected for watertightness while full of sewage. This geographic area includes all privately held lands within the county boundary located north of the 49th parallel, which consist of 335 dwellings, 11 resorts, and one restaurant.
Before granting a variance, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) must find that the strict enforcement or strict conformity with public health or environmental standards would be unreasonable, impractical, or not feasible under the circumstances.
Upon review of the documents, the MPCA has made the preliminary determination that Lake of the Woods County has not satisfied the conditions necessary to grant the variance and as a result, the MPCA has made the preliminary determination to deny the variance.
