Septic permit issuance, soil reports and state food/septic rules reviewed by board
Summary
Tim Vanmeter reported 16 septic permits issued last quarter, explained soil-report and system requirements, and the board discussed adopting new state food and septic rules with county attorney review.
Tim Vanmeter presented county septic work for the quarter and said, "This last 0.25, we issued 16 permits," describing typical soil reports and the criteria used to size systems (bedroom counts determine design). He walked the board through a sample soil report packet and emphasized that accurate bedroom counts are required to avoid future system failures.
The board also noted the state adopted a new food code in April and that proposed septic rules are under state review. Lisa Meyer suggested the county will likely need to rescind older local ordinances and adopt the state rule, and members discussed asking county attorney Jean Stewart to confirm the local adoption steps.
