Recommend:
- A mandatory Septic Inspection Program to require regular maintenance and inspection of all holding tanks, septic tanks, leaching beds (including outhouses and pit privies) in order to preserve fresh water resources, and protect the environment and public health and safety. Following the institution of the program, re-inspections would be repeated every 5 years.
When a large development in the watershed is proposed that information be provided on the potential negative impacts of the stormwater on the water quality of the receiving waters in terms of, but not limited, water temperature, nutrients, salt, phosphorus, base flow, wildlife and fisheries habitat, including recommendations on how any potential impacts will be mitigated.
