<DIV>Panhandle Health to rethink sewer rule<BR>at 1:38 p.m. on February 3
<BR><BR>The Panhandle Health District has decided to start work on revisions
to its rule limiting expansion of North Idaho cabins on old, non-compliant
sewer systems, but the move won’t help a Pullman resident who built a big new
home on Lake Coeur d’Alene and now can’t occupy it. Sen. Gary Schroeder,
R-Moscow, who introduced legislation to eliminate the expansion limit - a move
the health district said would undermine its authority to keep sewage out of
North Idaho lakes and waterways - pulled his bill off a Senate committee
agenda this week in favor of negotiations. “I’ll wait and see, see if they
resolve it,” Schroeder said. “Obviously we expect them to protect the health
and waterways, but there should be some flexibility to work through
it.”<BR><BR>The Panhandle Health District’s board met late last week and
decided to stick with its rule for now, which limits such expansions to 10
percent. But it also decided to launch a year-long, negotiated rule-making
process to add some flexibility to the rule for owners of very small cabins
who essentially were prohibited from expanding at all. Sen. Joyce Broadsword,
R-Sagle, applauded the move, and said it addresses a concern she’s heard from
her constituents in North Idaho about the limit. <BR></DIV><!-- cg15.c3.mail.sp2.yahoo.com compressed/chunked Thu Feb 4 12:33:20 PST 2010 --></DIV><BR>
