This report is a summary of their <br /> work and will be augmented by their oral report at the meeting. <br /> BACKGROUND: Orange County has been considering the implementation of a <br /> M & MA program for many months. To facilitate this program, Commissioners <br /> Gordon and Insko volunteered to study it and report back to the Board. At <br /> their initial meeting last spring, they formulated a set of four <br /> principles to guide their decisions and outlined a framework for <br /> considering the M & MA program. That information is summarized in a memo, <br /> "Monitoring & Maintenance Assurance Program" dated April 10, 1993 . <br /> This fall, meetings between the two Commissioners and between Commissioner <br /> Insko and the staff have led to the formulation of the following two <br /> documents: <br /> 1) A memo, "Wastewater Treatment Oversight Program, " dated September <br /> 14, 1993 . This comprehensive program includes the M & MA program as <br /> a subset. The memo serves three purposes: <br /> (a) explains and justifies the concept of a Wastewater <br /> Treatment Oversight Program <br /> (b) presents recommendations concerning all wastewater <br /> treatment systems in Orange County, except DEH Type I and Type <br /> II systems. <br /> (c) identifies some issues that need further clarification. <br />
