ATTENTION ALL NEWCASTLE RESIDENTS BE AWARE OF POSSIBLE NEW SEPTIC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
The
Newcastle Community Association would like to inform you about
proposed new septic system regulations.
Placer
County has begun an informational campaign about proposed state
regulations for septic systems. Assembly Bill (AB) 885, signed into
law in September 2000 directs the State Water Resources Control
Board to promulgate a statewide wastewater regulation. A
revised draft of the regulation, waiver and Draft Environmental
Impact Report (DEIR) were released on November 7, 2008, and the
90-day public comment period ends on February 9, 2009.
What does this mean to you? For starters, if you have an existing septic system, it must be inspected every 5 years, and pumped if the solids level is 25% of the tank depth. Cost to you: $325 and up!
If you use domestic well water, you must either install a monitoring well or monitor the well water quality. Sampling must be done every 5 years. Cost to you: Unknown, but it won't be cheap!
The requirements for replacement (repaired) and new septic systems are too numerous to list here, but suffice it to say that a large sum of money will be required to comply with them.
To learn more about these proposed regulations, go to: http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/septic_tanks/
*************************************** UPDATE FROM Steve Austrheim-Smith, NCA Vice-President:
More than 150 residents attended a town
hall meeting hosted by Assemblyman
Gaines last week to share their concerns regarding new
potentially costly septic tank compliance fees that are likely to
affect anyone with a septic
system or well. I attended this meeting as a
member of the Newcastle
Community Association (NCA) Board and a concerned
Newcastle resident. The NCA is providing this information to
inform you of the status of the development of the septic/well
requirements so that you have the necessary information to respond
on your own if you desire.
Assemblyman Gaines proposed introducing legislation to
repeal Assembly Bill 885, which would require residents with septic
tanks to pay costly inspection fees but only time will tell
if that proposal comes to fruition.
In the mean time, the State
Water Resources Control Board received so many comments
complaining about the draft septic tank/ well regulations it postponed the final hearing date pending a rewrite to the
regulations and also extended the date to provide comments on the
current draft regulations until February
23, 2009.
The email to submit comments to the State
Water Resources Board is AB885@waterboards.ca.gov.
For those who prefer to write a letter, the address is:
State Water Resources Control Board
Division of Water
Quality
Attn: Todd Thompson, P.E.
1001 I Street, 15th Floor, P.O. Box 2231
Sacramento, CA 95812
Assemblyman Gaines would also like to receive your comments
and concerns and asks that you please visit assembly.ca.gov/gaines
or contact the Roseville District Office at (916)
774-4430 or the Capitol Office at (916)
319-2004 or submit an e-mail to assemblymember.gaines@asm.ca.gov.
LATEST UPDATE POSTED March 31, 2009:
Dear Friends: My Assembly Bill 268, which would repeal the
one-size-fits-all regulations on septic tanks, will be heard in
the Assembly Committee on Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials
within the next couple of weeks. So far, many of you have
called or emailed the committee members and I would like to thank
you for your support of AB 268. Now is our final push. It is imperative
that you make your voice heard and let people know first hand how
costly the current regulations will be for your family or business
and why they should vote to pass my AB 268. Taking a few
moments to email or call committee members and letting them know
your concerns could make a difference in helping pass the repeal
of these regulations. For your convenience, I have included
committee member’s contact information below. In addition, I urge you to visit my website
at www.asm.ca.gov/Gaines
where you can stay up-to-date on the status of AB 268 and all of
the legislation I have introduced, sign up for my e-newsletter and
get contact information for my offices.
Assembly Committee on Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials
Committee Phone: (916) 319-3965
Sincerely, TED GAINES
