SKAGIT COUNTY ISSUES DRAFT ONSITE SEWAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR PUBLIC REVIEW

SKAGIT COUNTY – The Skagit County Public Health Department has issued a draft Onsite Sewage Management Plan that is posted at www.skagitcounty.net

As required by Washington Administrative Code 246-272A, section 0015, local management and regulation, and Revised Code of Washington 70.118A.030, local health officers are required to develop a written on site program management plan. The Skagit County Public Health Department’s draft of the On Site Sewage Management Plan is available for public review and comment.

The purpose of the on site sewage system management plan is to provide guidance, focus and direction to the Skagit County Public Health Department’s on site sewage program. The management plan will guide the policies and procedures for the design, installation, operations and maintenance of on site sewage treatment systems in Skagit County in order to prevent public health hazards and risks, and to improve, restore and preserve water quality.

The plan was developed by Steve Olsen, Environmental Health Specialist and Corinne Story, Environmental Health Supervisor. The draft plan was reviewed by the on site sewage Citizens Advisory Committee in April and May 2007.
