473.513 MUNICIPAL PLANS AND PROGRAMS.
As soon as practicable after the adoption of the first policy plan by the council as provided in
section 473.146, and before undertaking the construction of any extensions or additions to its
disposal system or the substantial alteration or improvement of its existing disposal system, each
local government unit shall adopt a similar policy plan for the collection, treatment and disposal
of sewage for which the local government unit is responsible, coordinated with the council's
plan, and may revise the same as often as it deems necessary. Each such plan shall be submitted
forthwith to the council for review and shall be subject to the approval of the council as to those
features affecting the council's responsibilities as determined by the council. Any such features
disapproved by the council shall be modified in accordance with the council's recommendations.
No construction of new sewers or other disposal facilities, and no substantial alteration or
improvement of any existing sewers or other disposal facilities involving such features, shall be
undertaken by any local government unit unless its governing body shall first find the same to be
in accordance with its comprehensive plan and program as approved by the council. At the time
each local government unit makes application to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for a
permit to alter or improve its disposal system it shall file with the council a copy of the application
together with design data and a location map of the project.
