3 . Public health. The county should take the steps necessary to <br /> protect the public health. <br /> Questions to be asked for each of the five decision areas given <br /> below: Is the proposed effort necessary for the protection of the <br /> public health? Could the collection of more systematic information <br /> about groundwater in Orange County, such as that being proposed by <br /> the Water Resources Committee, help address these questions <br /> concerning the steps necessary to protect groundwater? <br /> 4 . Growth patterns. To the extent that the M&MA program affects <br /> county growth patterns, it should be implemented to promote county <br /> policies, or at least to be neutral. <br /> Questions to be asked for each of the five decision areas given <br /> below: What existing or proposed county policies are impacted by <br /> the M&MA program? Does the proposed M&MA program carry out those <br /> county policies? <br /> FIVE AREAS IN WHICH DECISIONS ARE TO BE MADE <br /> Each of these five areas of the M&MA program should be judged by <br /> the four general principles stated above.

To undertake monitoring in this area a memorandum of <br /> agreement with the state must be executed. <br /> Specific questions to be asked for this area: Is it necessary to <br /> monitor these systems, or can the state do an adequate job? If we <br /> enter into a_ memorandum of agreement with the State of North <br /> Carolina, will the state still collect fees? If they do, can the <br /> county still collect any fees for this service? Will these fees <br /> duplicate the state fees? <br /> 4 . Management entities for DEH systems for which a private <br /> certified operator is sufficient: Type IV and Type Va and Vb. <br /> (New systems handled separately from existing systems. ) In the <br /> M&MA program it is proposed that the Health Department be the <br /> management entity for Type IV systems. <br /> Specific questions to be asked for this area: It appears that <br /> there is a conflict of interest if the Health Department both <br />
