- - t <br /> 10 <br /> 2. Nature and Duration of Standards - The <br /> following interim development standards <br /> shall apply: <br /> a. Community alternative treatment and <br /> disposal systems as well as public <br /> water and sewer service will not be <br /> permitted in the University Lake <br /> Watershed except <br /> (1) to address a public health <br /> emergency as determined by the <br /> Orange County Health Department or <br /> (2) when a valid written service <br /> agreement for public water and/or <br /> sewer existed prior to April 3 , <br /> 1989, and is one in which a <br /> municipality (including Orange <br /> County) or a water/sewer authority <br /> is a party and is the water/sewer <br /> provider. <br /> A community alternative system is any <br /> system serving more than one wastewater <br /> source, and neither owned nor operated <br /> by a public entity. A community <br /> alternative system, including a <br /> community alternative septic system, is <br /> designed to convey effluent to surface <br /> waters, the land surface or the soil <br /> subsurface via direct discharge, spray <br /> irrigation, overland flow or <br /> nitrification lines. <br /> b. By April 30, 1991, studies will be <br /> conducted to determine the advisability <br /> of making public water and sewer <br /> services available within the <br /> watershed. In addition, a pilot <br /> program for monitoring and inspecting <br /> alternative treatment and disposal <br /> systems as operated by the Orange <br /> County Health Department will be <br /> evaluated to determine the advisability <br /> of permitting such systems in the <br /> watershed. <br /> C. Following receipt and review of the <br /> above mentioned studies, a decision <br /> will be made regarding the use of <br /> alternative treatment and disposal <br /> systems and the availability of public <br /> water and sewer services in the <br /> watershed. <br /> 6-18-c <br />
