Cal. Civ. Code § 410-6-6-15
Incorporation by reference
Operative Text
Sec. 15. (a) "Recommended Standards for Wastewater Facilities", 1997 Edition, a report of the Great Lakes-Upper Mississippi River Board of State and Provincial Public Health and Environmental Managers, is hereby incorporated by reference as part of this rule. (b) Incorporated materials are available from: Health Education Services, Inc. P.O. Box 7126 Albany, NY 12224 or available for public review at the department.
Section 15 of 410 IAC 6-6 makes the 1997 edition of a widely recognized technical document on wastewater facility standards a binding part of Indiana's rule, rather than restating all of its technical content directly in the regulation. By incorporating the document this way, the standards it contains carry the same legal weight as the rule itself. Anyone seeking to understand the full scope of Indiana's wastewater facility requirements under this rule must consult both the regulation and that referenced document.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to 410 IAC 6-6 should be aware that compliance with Section 15 means meeting not only the text of the rule itself, but also the technical requirements found in the 1997 'Recommended Standards for Wastewater Facilities.' Operators generally obtain or review a copy of that document—available through Health Education Services, Inc. or for public review at the Indiana Department of Health—to ensure their wastewater facilities conform to all incorporated standards. Staying current with the full scope of incorporated materials is a common practice among compliant facility operators.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 15 of 410 IAC 6-6 establishes that Indiana's wastewater facility standards include technical requirements drawn from an incorporated reference document, meaning the protections and requirements in that 1997 publication apply with the same force as the rule. Tenants who have concerns about wastewater facility conditions at their residence may find it useful to understand that this broader set of standards governs what operators are expected to meet. Tenant-rights organizations or the Indiana Department of Health can be consulted to better understand how these incorporated standards may relate to a particular housing situation.
