15 <br /> 5. The duties and responsibilities adjunct to the <br /> design, construction, and operation and maintenance <br /> of alternative wastewater treatment systems should <br /> be specified as a requirement in the permitting <br /> process for such facilities in the Subdivision <br /> Regulations and/or Zoning Ordinance. Such duties <br /> and responsibilities should include, where <br /> possible, the following: <br /> a. The application of minimum design criteria <br /> that exceed the design criteria now prescribed <br /> by the N.C. Division of Environmental <br /> Management and the N.C. Division of Health <br /> Services; <br /> b. The requirement for inspection and <br /> certification of an alternative system by the <br /> principal designer that the construction of <br /> the system was completed in accordance with <br /> the approved design plans; and <br /> c. The requirement of a performance bond or other <br /> form of security payable to the County which <br /> would guarantee the initial operation and <br /> performance of an alternative system for a <br /> three to five year period; <br /> Associated with the above, Orange County will <br /> evaluate the feasibility of establishing an <br /> inspection and monitoring program for alternative <br /> wastewater treatment systems and will explore <br /> alternative institutional arrangements for shifting <br /> the operation and maintenance of such systems into <br /> the public domain. <br /> Draft: 7-31-87 <br /> Revisions: 8-26-87 <br /> 9-2-87 <br /> 11-16-87 <br /> 11-24-87 <br /> 9-17-88 <br /> 11-21-88 <br /> 08 <br />
