27 <br /> Cane Creek Watershed <br /> November 5, 1993 <br /> Page 3 <br /> width in Critical Areas.) <br /> OWASA Staff Comment: The Orange County Health Department notes that the existing 300 <br /> foot setback for septic systems sometimes eliminates the most suitable soils from use for septic <br /> system drainfietds, resulting in systems being sited on inferior soils that represent more of a water <br /> quality tl►reat than a septic system located on batter soils QIcs r to thn a►zram_ <br /> Perhaps the most urgent concern to OWASA is the reduced protection immediately adjacent to the <br /> Cane Creek and University Lake shorelines and to the stream segments nearest their entry to the <br /> impoundments. The Authority has consistently regarded these environments as the most critical <br /> for water quality protection. <br /> • Existing setback requirements of 300 feet for septic systems and ISO feet for structures <br /> should remain In place along the shorelines of University Lake and the Cane Creek <br /> Reservoir and along the perennial streams discharging to these impoundments. <br /> Edward A.
