[ca-gw] Fwd: Graywater Standards - California Plumbing Code (Title 24, Part 5, Chapter 16A, Part I)

[Oasis Design]

Dear Greywater Fans:

The new standards we've been working on could go into effect August 
4th, 2009 right after the CA BSC meeting, six weeks from now, instead 
of 2011!

...see below.


>
>To:  All Interested Parties/Stakeholders
>Re:  Chapter 16A Nonpotable Water Reuse Systems, Part I (Graywater)
>
>Since our last stakeholder meeting, we have reviewed the comments 
>received and made some modifications to the graywater proposal.  In 
>addition, we have reviewed the proposed timeline of the graywater 
>standards and have decided to include a modification to the current 
>plumbing code.  Our original goal to include the graywater standards 
>in the 2010 California Plumbing Code (2010 CPC) will continue as 
>originally planned and become effective January 1, 2011.
>
>However, we will also propose the graywater standards for adoption 
>as an emergency modification to the 2007 California Plumbing Code 
>(2007 CPC).  The 2007 CPC is the code that is currently in effect in 
>California.  By proposing these standards on an emergency basis, 
>they will become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State. 
>We will submit the emergency package to the California Building 
>Standards Commission (CBSC) on July 1, 2009.  The package will go 
>before the CBSC as an action item on July 30, 2009, and if approved, 
>will be filed with the Secretary of State on August 4, 2009. This 
>revised schedule will establish an effective date almost 18 months 
>sooner than the original, non-emergency timetable.
>
>After the emergency package goes before the CBSC, HCD will complete 
>the rulemaking process for both the 2007 CPC and the 2010 CPC. 
>Because the two proposals for Chapter 16A will be almost identical, 
>we will run concurrent 45 day comment periods for both.
>
>Please find attached the "Express Terms (ET)" modified as a result 
>of our last meeting, the "Initial Statement of Reasons (ISOR)", 
>which is the rationale for our proposals and the "Finding of 
>Emergency".
>
>We appreciate your continued interest and look forward to working 
>with you as we continue through this rulemaking.  Any questions or 
>concerns should be directed to Jim Rowland, District Representative 
>II, at <mailto:jrowland at hcd.ca.gov>jrowland at hcd.ca.gov or (916) 
>327-3809.
