191 Mr. Marvin Collins Page Two December 23 <br /> 1987 <br /> community sewage system by the Health Department <br /> Director or the Division of Environmental Management of <br /> the Department of Natural and Economic Resources , which <br /> ever agency is appropriate . There is , therefore , no <br /> basis in the County subdivision regulations for <br /> requiring that which OWASA recommends with respect to <br /> community based systems . Furthermore, in the absence <br /> of some technical support for OWASA' s recommendations <br /> in the form of Division of Environmental Management <br /> support or in the form of local Health Department <br /> regulation support, there is no factual basis for the <br /> subdivision regulations to include such requirements . <br /> On the other hand, it does seem to me that <br /> on-site waste disposal systems approved by the Orange <br /> County Health Department , including both the primary <br /> drain field and the repair drain fields , could be <br /> I required to remain undisturbed provided that is <br /> i consistent with Orange County Health Department <br /> 1 regulations on that point. <br /> 0 <br /> OWASA' s request that the County require the <br /> Q dedication of public utility easements within the <br /> watershed or the Rural Buffer within or outside of the <br /> watershed seems inconsistent with the County' s <br /> g Comprehensive Plan on this point . I think any such <br /> requirement should wait the rural buffer/watershed <br /> 1 study and amendments to the Plan that occur following <br /> g the conclusion of the watershed study. <br /> a <br /> Ver. I truly yours, <br /> At <br /> `Illtor- E. Gledhill <br /> GEG/lsg <br /> xc: Shirley E. Marsha for t , <br /> Board of County ommissi4 - ,s <br />
