Report of Public Hearing

Davis County Board of Health Regulations

David Spence, Hearing Officer

Pursuant to Utah Code Annotated 26A-1-121(1), the Davis County Board of Health held a public hearing on July 18, 2017, to receive public comments concerning adoption of proposed changes to the Illicit Discharge Regulation.

The existing Illicit Discharge Regulation protects the public health and safety of the residents of Davis County by controlling discharges that may pollute the environment. The proposed changes to the Board of Health Regulation include revising the civil penalties section to require penalties to be subject to the Board of Health Adjudicative Hearing Regulation, updating the definition of pollutant to be more descriptive, changing the definition of illicit discharge to include water, soil, and air, and standardizing Department formatting.

Copies of the proposed changes to the Regulation were made available to the public at the Department’s website and the Environmental Health Services Division office located at 22 South State, Clearfield, Utah. Notice of the hearing was published in papers of general circulation—the Davis County Clipper and the Ogden Standard Examiner on July 6 and July 13, 2017.
