MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 8, 2013 01:18 PM
From: Senator Timothy J. Solobay
To: All Senate members
Subject: Onsite Sewage System Exemption
 
In the near future, I plan on re-introducing legislation which amends the Sewage Facilities Act to provide an additional exemption for property owners.

Under current law, contiguous tracts of land of ten acres or more are exempted from having to acquire a permit or plan revision for an onsite sewage system. The land must be occupied by the property owner or his immediate family, and the property owner must have been the owner of record as of January 10, 1987.

My legislation will provide an additional exemption for very large properties. Specifically, it will exempt property owners from having to acquire a permit or plan revision for the installation of an individual onsite sewage system for a residential structure on a contiguous tract of land of 100 acres or more. Also, there will be no requirement for how long a property owner must be the owner of record in order to qualify for this exemption.

Introduced as SB449
