      of  health  and each municipality located in whole or in part within the
      park, and subject to  approval  by  the  department  and  department  of
      health, shall adopt, after public hearing according to the provisions of
      the  state  administrative  procedure act, rules and regulations for the
      discharge of sewage or treated sewage effluent onto the land or into the
      groundwater of the park to  ensure  optimum  protection  of  ground  and

      subdivision one of this section shall be applicable to  all  development
      within  the  park with respect to the discharge of wastewater; provided,
      however, that nothing shall prevent a municipality from adopting a  law,
      code,  ordinance  or  regulation which is more stringent than such rules
      and regulations adopted by the commission.
        3. The commission may delegate all or some of its authority under this
      section to any municipality located in whole or in part within the  park
      subject to such conditions as the commission may establish.
