Scheduling Consideration of State Onsite Wastewater Rules Revisions <br /> <br />Tom Konsler reported that since the Board last adopted local regulations governing wastewater <br />systems in 1999, there have been several amendments and changes to the North Carolina Rules <br />for Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems (15A NCAC 18A.1900). Staff recently met with the <br />county attorney to discuss whether the Board must re-adopt these rules by reference whenever <br />a change is made at the state level. He advised that the Board consider adoption of the state <br />rules so as to avoid any inconsistencies in enforcement. <br /> <br />Staff has reviewed the state rules and is recommending adoption of the changes while retaining <br />all of the more stringent requirements previously adopted by the Board in 1999.
