At the time of the inspection EHD <br /> staff noted that the site has a septic system that serves more than 20 people per day. <br /> Since ground water is a source of drinking water, subsurface waste disposal is regulated <br /> under the United States Safe Drinking Water Act. <br /> EHD has implemented a Local Agency Groundwater Protection/Underground Injection <br /> Control (UIC) Program in accordance with guidelines prepared by the United States <br /> Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The primary focus of the program is to <br /> protect drinking water by identification and evaluation of subsurface disposal of waste <br /> fluids that may lead to the degradation of drinking water supplies. <br /> By definition any septic system that serves more than 20 people per day is a shallow <br /> injection well, so your facility has been placed on the EHD list of UIC sites. If your septic <br /> system is used for the disposal of solely sanitary waste and serves fewer than 20 <br /> persons per day, please inform EHD of this in writing. In addition, please provide in <br /> writing the disposal method for your storm water(on site pond, ditches, dry wells). <br /> Following review of the information submitted, EHD will evaluate if your storm water <br /> disposal method meets the definition of an underground injection well and if <br /> modifications are necessary and/or if it should be inventoried as an underground <br /> injection well. Enclosed is an "Inventory of Injection Wells" form that is to be completed <br /> and submitted to USEPA in San Francisco (address on page 2 of form) if your facility <br /> has a septic or storm system that meets the definition of an underground injection well. <br /> Please submit a copy of the form to EHD if it is completed. <br /> The above requested information about your facility should be submitted to EHD by <br /> September 1, 2005. If you have any questions contact me at (209)468-3449. <br /> Donna Heran, REHS, Director <br /> Environmental Health Department <br /> Margaret Lagorio, Supervising REHS <br /> Unit IV <br /> Enc <br />
