UPDATE ON THE SEPTIC TANK ISSUE
Here is some information.... Thank You..... Dave
Latest Development on the Septic Issue..
The Battle is not Over!
Dear Andrea,
As you know I have worked to keep the public informed on the rule making proposed by the Floridda Department of Health that would require the replacement of septic systems with in performance based ground wastewater treatment systems.
Here is the latest information on this issue of so much concern to septic owners in the Wekiva Study Area. The legislature inserted in its budget document language that would prevent the Department of Health from imposing the dreadful new rule before the completion of the study that will determine the best way to protect the Wekiva River. The State of Florida budget for FY09-10 allows for the completion of the study, and is specified in appropriation line item 471. This study MUST BE COMPLETED to ensure the protection of the Wekiva as well as its contributing springs, and potentially all environmental areas of concern throughout the State.
The Good News!
The Governor has approved the budget with item 471 included. It would be appropriate for us to contact the Governor to express our appreciation for his thoughful approach to the matter.
The Bad News.
Though the Legislative language directs postponement of a rule until after the study is completed, the Department of Health may restart rule making as early as July 1, 2010.
The Good News!
It is also important that you know that there are alternatives being investigated and tested that will improve the quality of the water flowing into the Wekiva River. Compared to what is being proposed by the Department of Health, these are less costly options with a potentially greater benefit to the River.
I appreciate your interest and continued support to insure that homeowner's do not bear the cost of arbritray decisions without adequate study. We need to find better means of reducing the flow of harmful nitrogen into our ground water.
Sincerely,
Fred Brummer
