 What is an Operating Permit?  Why Do We Need Them?  When Are They Required?  Service Providers and Inspections  Program Administration  Q&A

 REGULATION 43:  Not a defined term  Jefferson County Regulations:  “A renewable permit that addresses specific operation 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.”

 Service Provider Qualifications  NAWT O&M Parts 1 and 2  Equivalent  ‘Owner Operated’ provisions  Inspection/Maintenance Interval  Twice per year (every 6 months)  Unit-specific inspection form

 Currently WORD mail-merge documents  Inspections can be scanned and submitted  Reminders will be send out via email  Enforcement based on failure to obtain an Operating Permit or failure to submit inspections  In 2015, will transition to a web based program utilizing the AMANDA enterprise system  Apply online  Pay online (third party system)
