6 <br /> • Will alternative treatment systenis be permitted in the watershed? <br /> • e If alternative treatment systems are permitted in the watershed, the Study <br /> recommends that there should be a publicly-run program of inspection and <br /> monitoring of those systems. Which jurisdiction will take the lead role? Will <br /> OWASA take the lead? (See also Financing) <br /> * If alternative treatment systems are permitted in the watershed,should there <br /> be a set of local design criteria established for such systems? Should the County <br /> Health Departments or OWASA take over the full responsibility for operating such <br /> systems? <br /> • Will the County Health Departments or OWASA take responsibility for a <br /> monitoring and inspections program for conventional septic tank systems? Should <br /> more stringent criteria for these systems be developed,especially if they will be <br /> the predominant method for sewage treatment in the watershed? <br /> • Who will take the lead responsibility for establishing and implementing a water <br /> quality monitoring program in the watershed? <br /> III FINANCING <br /> • How should an inspection and monitoring program for alternative wastewater <br /> systems be financed? Who will take the lead agency role? How will a program for <br /> full public operating responsibility be financed? (See also Utility Service Options) <br /> • How should an inspection and maintenance program for on-site stormwater <br /> BMPs be financed? Who will talc, the lead agency role? (See also Land Use) <br /> * How should a regional stormwater BIVIP program be planned and financed? Who <br /> will take the lead agency role? (See also Land Use) <br /> • • <br /> What will be the impact on the local tax base of the various options set out by <br /> the study? What will be the overall financial implication, given the need to set up <br /> and finance various new programs? <br /> IV TIMING <br /> • Should the jurisdictions identify and set priorities for short-term and long-term <br /> watershed protection strategies? Because many of the possible pieces of the <br /> recommended approach (such as regional stormwater BMPs,and public operation <br /> and maintenance of alternative systems)will take a long time to develop and get <br /> into operation,should there be some phasing in of implementation strategies? For <br /> example, an interim approach could be taken which would require the <br /> 5 <br />
