Sec. B11-66. Sewage disposal systems subject to California Regional Water Quality Control Board waste discharge requirements; County permit required; fee.

Sewage disposal systems that are subject to the requirements and approval of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board are also subject to the approval of the Director. The proposed system must be designed to accommodate the waste discharge consistent with the requirements of the appropriate California Regional Water Quality Control Board. The Director will require engineered sewerage plans to be submitted by a registered civil engineer or a registered environmental health specialist with experience in on-site sewage system design before issuing a permit. A registered civil engineer or a registered environmental health specialist will:

(a) Be required to inspect the construction of the sewage disposal system and, upon completion, to submit a letter of certification to the Director verifying the proper installation and operation of the sewage disposal system; and

(b) Be responsible for sampling for a minimum period of one year consistent with the California Regional Water Quality Control Board waste discharge requirements.

The applicant must contract with a private sanitary engineering firm to ensure the proper maintenance of the sewage disposal system for the first five years of operation.

The applicant must obtain a permit and pay a fee in an amount as established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors.
