How would this be accommodated. Geoffrey Gledhill said thatthe entirerural buffer is in the JPA and he does not have an snwer to the question of how long it would take for the governmental entities tomeet. Chair Margaret Brown said that they would be sure that Alan Reimbees concern will be addressed by the process set up by the Water and Sewer Boundary Task Force. Epting said that his concern is that Hillsborough has not attended but a few meetings and it would be awful if they came up with an agreement and Hillsborough did not sign off on it. Commissioner Halkiotis suggested that Margaret content the Mayor of Hillsborough and ask for their participation in an effort to haveeveryone sign the boundary agreement. 1.

In answer to two questions, Ron said that some systems are not included in their inspection program. The systems that are inspected are more complicated and those at risk systems. We have authority for septic systems in the County including municipalities. Alan Reimer said that the reality is that for the systems that fail they are the conventional systems. He says that the problems they are seeing are for thosesystems that were previously constructed before 1994. If the County could have a periodily inspection of all systic systems countywide and work out the cost and come back to the OWASA Board and wewill consider helping in that regard.
