HB 930 Septic systems; validity of septic tank permits.
Introduced by: Terrie L. Suit | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Validity of septic tank permits. Grandfathers certain onsite sewage systems into the Board of Health's regulatory scheme. The bill provides that whenever any onsite sewage system is failing and the Board's regulations for repairing it impose (i) a requirement for treatment beyond the level of treatment provided by the existing onsite sewage system when operating properly or (ii) a new requirement for pressure dosing, the owner may request a waiver from such requirements. The Commissioner is required to grant such request, unless he finds that the failing system was installed illegally without a permit. Such waivers must be recorded in the land records of the clerk of the circuit court. Except between a husband and a wife, such waivers are not transferable and are null and void upon transfer or sale of the property. The owner of the property is required to disclose, in writing, to any and all potential purchasers or mortgage holders that any operating permit for the onsite sewage system that has been granted a waiver shall be null and void at the time of transfer or sale of the property and that the Board's regulatory requirements for additional treatment or pressure dosing are required before an operating permit may be reinstated.
