At the time of the inspection EHD staff determined <br /> that your septic system may serve more than 20 people per day. Since ground water is a source <br /> of drinking water, subsurface waste disposal is regulated under the United States Safe Drinking <br /> Water Act. <br /> EHD has implemented a Local Agency Groundwater Protection/Underground Injection Control <br /> (UIC) Program in accordance with guidelines prepared by the United States Environmental <br /> Protection Agency (USEPA). The primary focus of the program is to protect drinking water by <br /> identification and evaluation of subsurface disposal of waste fluids that may lead to the <br /> degradation of drinking water supplies. <br /> By definition any septic system that serves more than 20 people per day is a shallow injection <br /> well, so your facility has been placed on the EHD list of UIC sites. If your septic system is used <br /> for the disposal of solely sanitary waste and serves fewer than 20 persons per day(restrooms not <br /> available to the public, etc.), 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). Following <br /> review of the information submitted, EHD will evaluate if your storm water disposal method meets <br /> the definition of an underground injection well and if modifications are necessary and/or if it <br /> should be inventoried as an underground injection well. Enclosed is an "Inventory of Injection <br /> Wells"form that is to be completed and submitted to USEPA in San Francisco(address on page <br /> 2 of form) if your facility has a septic or storm system that meets the definition of an underground <br /> injection well. 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 July 15, <br /> 2005. <br /> If you have any questions contact me at(209)468-3449. <br /> Donna Heran, REHS, Director <br /> Environmental Health Department <br /> -MOA"� <br /> Margaret Lagorio, Supervising REHS <br /> Unit IV <br />
