141. Every municipality whose territory is included in that of the Community shall submit to the executive committee for approval any project for the construction, enlargement or alteration of depollution works before passing the resolution or the by-law necessary for implementing such project.
Within 15 days after receiving such application, the executive committee shall determine whether such project is of a purely local nature or has any repercussion on any territory larger than that of the municipality.
The executive committee may approve any project of a purely local nature. It may also approve a project that has repercussions in any territory larger than that of the municipality if it is approved by the municipalities involved, if the municipalities involved agree to the project alterations required by the executive committee or if the project results from an order of the Minister of the Environment.
In any other case, the Council may, by resolution, subject to the approval of the Minister of the Environment, order such alterations as it deems expedient to the plans and specifications of the proposed work and authorize the municipality to carry out such work. Failing an agreement between the Community and the municipalities involved concerning the apportionment of the cost of the work, such apportionment shall be ordered by the Minister of the Environment.
