 Jefferson County Regulations:

 “A renewable permit that addresses specific

• peration and or maintenance requirements for an

existing OWTS that includes mechanical or electrical treatment components, or a system that is designed to meet specific wastewater treatment levels as set forth in these Regulations.”

 ALL OWTS require maintenance, even

septic tanks

 Higher Level Treatment (HLT) systems

require ongoing oversight for optimum performance

 Also required by Reg 43 in order to claim

STA size and distance setback reductions

 Higher LTAR (smaller STA)  100-foot setbacks to wells

 REGULATION 43:

 Not required per se, but 43.11.A.3 mandates a

program for “…permitting and oversight of inspection and maintenance…” of Higher Level Treatment (HLT) Systems, but ONLY when reductions to STA size or setbacks are permitted.

 Jefferson County Regulations (Section 11):

 “Required for any system that includes a HLT unit

as defined by these Regulations.”
