Given GMP #116 was rescinded on the effective date of the Board's emergency regulations, 12/07/2013, what has become of VDH's requirement for manufacturer’s to warranty gravelless material?  Suggest the proposed language be amended to include "non-degradable by wastewater effluent" under 12VAC5-610-930.F.2.e., as follows:

2. Gravelless material shall have the following minimum characteristics for general approval:

e. Gravelless material shall pose no greater risk to surface water and groundwater quality than gravel in absorption trenches. Gravelless material shall be constructed to maintain structural integrity such that it does not decay or corrode when exposed to sewage.  Gravelless material shall also be constructed to maintain structural integrity such that it will be non-degradable by wastewater effluent.
