gardens.



The county seeking authorization shall submit
to the department for its approval prior to implementation a detailed
residential gray water recycling plan, including rules and procedures for the
proposed program.  The plan shall address the appropriateness of the program
for the geographic area, the environmental impact of the program on the
geographic area, the cost of the program, and any other factors deemed relevant
by the department.  The department may revoke the authorization at any time.



For the purposes of this section, “gray water”
