NR 110.10 Note
Note: When evaluating feasibility of alternatives, the department may consider factors such as technical achievability, the relationship between the control of storm water and the control of infiltration/inflow into the sewage collection system, costs and affordability of implementation, and risks to public health, the environment, and welfare of the community served by the sewage collection system.
