Q92 <br /> !ass. Deily Crudup <br /> January 19, 1988 <br /> Page Two <br /> 1. Recommendations on Sevtic Tank Systems. Individual septic tanks and <br /> soil aosorption fieics are proposed for each of these projects. because of <br /> the nature of their design, septic tanks and subsurface absorption systems <br /> should not be expected to give trouble-free service over the life of a <br /> house. It has been reported that they have an average effective life of 10 <br /> to 15 years, assuming no misuse, before rehabilitation, modifications or <br /> replacement is necessary. Furthermore, leaving septic tank system <br /> maintenance solely to the discretion of the typical homeowner, with the need <br /> for septic tank pumping and maintenance to be determined as they deem <br /> necessary or as proolems occur, is, in essence, very limited control over <br /> the potential adverse impact of these systems on water quality. Therefore, <br /> consideration should be given to an alternative septic tank system design <br /> and maintenance concept. OdASA staff requests that careful consideration of <br /> the following recommendations be given by the developers of each project, <br /> Orange County, and Orange County Health Department: <br /> a. A dual absorption field system should be required to be installed at the <br /> time each lot is developed (alternating use between the two fields on a <br /> regular basis) , with provision of an additional tack-up field area for <br /> one of the dual drainfielos. OAIASA staff recognizes that this will <br /> result in increased construction costs and greater initial clearing for <br /> the system installation; however, the long-term benefits to water <br /> quality, public health and future homeowners within these subdivisions <br /> should offset these costs. <br /> b. All septic tank system replacement sites which have been identified by <br /> the Ora_nce County Health Department should be clearly designated on the <br /> plat and deed/survey for each lot. These sites must be required to <br /> remain undisturbed and reserved by present and future owners for such <br /> use, in the event the primary site malfunctions. 04ASA is aware that <br /> there have been cases where reserve sites identified by the Health <br /> Department have, in the past, been rendered unusable due to construction <br /> of improvements after the initial residence has been completed. <br /> 2. Reservation of Sanitary Sewer Easements. Presently, the OrASA Board <br /> of Directors nas an interim policy wnlcn strictly limits the extension of <br /> public water and sewer services into the-university lake watershed. This <br /> interim policy will be reconsidered following the completion of the <br /> . comprehensive watershed study, which is in progress. Although present plans <br /> do not call for CWASA to extend public utility services into the watershed _ <br /> - area or the Rural Buffer, OWASA must be able to provide such services within <br /> these areas in the event local governing bodies determine it necessary and <br /> - -appropriate in the future. - <br />
