4 Health has also proposed to serve as a management entity for DER Class IV systems (low-pressure pipe treatment ' systems with a capacity of up to 3000 gallons per day) . The second phase is the creation of 'a "management entity" which could assume some greater degree of control over the management and operational functions of all non-municipal non-single family alternative technology waste treatments systems within Orange County. The. systems which could fall within the purview of this management entity could include low pressure systems larger than single family size, spray irrigation systems and systems which discharge to surface waters. The degree of control provided by the management entity could range from that afforded by outright system ownership to that available with the intensive local regulatory control embodied in zoning regulations, special use permit conditions and local health regulations . The yearly operating costs involved in the effort to maintain control of the systems which currently exist can vary from - - $1. 000 , 000 for a strategy in which the County assumes system ownership and provides all utility operational functions to minimal administrative costs for a strategy in which the County exercises control through intensive local regulatory action. RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board review the report, that it approve the creation of a management entity which embodies the Strategy I (local regulatory control of alternative systems) approach and that it direct staff to begin the process for developing draft regulations which will allow the County management entity to assume a much stronger role in controlling alternative technology non-single family, non-municipal waste treatment systems.
