Sec. B11-74. Cumulative impact.

Where sewage disposal systems are installed or considered, groundwater mounding and watershed protection are factors to be considered. The Director may require additional geological studies or other information demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Director, that use of a subsurface leaching system will not do any of the following: permit sewage effluent to surface degrade water quality, create a nuisance, jeopardize other properties, affect soil stability, or present a threat to the public health or safety. The applicant must submit a technical report addressing each of these concerns. The report must be prepared by a state registered civil engineer with a soils and geological background or a state certified engineering geologist. The technical report must include but will not be limited to soil percolation rates, contours, soil depth, seasonal groundwater elevation(s), location of all existing or proposed ground cuts, rock formations, soil stability, drainage, a cumulative impact assessment, and other data as determined by the Director and the California Regional Water Quality Control Board having jurisdiction.
