Julie Moore, the Agency of Natural Resources secretary, told lawmakers Wednesday that she missed a Jan. 1 deadline for new rules that would require developers to build stormwater systems for 3-acre parking lots.
The secretary asked the House Committee on Natural Resources, Fish and Wildlife for a one-year extension on stormwater enforcement rules for the parking lots. The Jan. 1, 2018, deadline was set in 2015.
