Board of Health adopts amendment to county on-site sewage code (Chapter 41.20) after public hearing
Summary
Following a public hearing with no public testimony, the Board of Health voted to approve Ordinance 16, amending County Code Chapter 41.20 (on-site sewage systems). No substantive public opposition was recorded.
After a brief staff briefing and an open public hearing with no members of the public requesting to speak, the Board of Health moved, seconded and approved Board of Health Ordinance 16, amending County Code Chapter 41.20 on on-site sewage systems.
Staff said the changes were modest for the county and follow work already completed in previous years; no substantive public comments or objections were received during the hearing. The ordinance passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
Why it matters: the amendment updates local on-site sewage regulations; staff said the county had already addressed the larger changes previously implemented in 2008, so the current amendments were described as limited in scope.
Details - The hearing opened and closed without public testimony. The board then voted to approve the ordinance amendment by voice vote. Staff thanked departing employee Ginny for her work on program changes. - Staff noted they had received little external feedback and characterized the draft changes as not extensive for Clallam County compared with other eastern counties that faced larger changes earlier.
Ending: The ordinance amendment was adopted; staff will proceed with the implementation steps already in place for on-site sewage program administration.
