§ 700-050. ALTERNATIVE SYSTEMS AND PROPRIETARY DEVICES

(a)

Alternative Systems may be permitted by the LA for the repair or upgrading of any existing System and for new construction on any legally created Lot where:

(1)

It is determined that sewage cannot be disposed of in a sanitary manner by a Standard System; or

(2)

It is determined that a Supplemental Treatment System and/or an alternative Dispersal System can provide greater protection to Groundwater and/or public health than a Standard System.

(b)

All Supplemental Systems shall be installed by a Contractor. Where the installation includes a proprietary treatment system certified and appropriately listed by National Sanitation Foundation for the treatment of wastewater, the Contractor shall also possess any required manufacturer certifications, as applicable.

(c)

The LA:

(1)

May require performance monitoring or sampling of any alternative system; and because of the specialized design and performance requirements for Alternative Systems, Alternative Systems may be subject to an Operating Permit. Operating Permit requirements include periodic monitoring, maintenance and reporting requirements in addition to payment of a periodic fee. The periodic monitoring information shall also be submitted to the LA and designer on record.

(2)

Shall submit copies of evaluation reports to the RWQCB, if required, when alternative system performance is evaluated.
