Action | Action to Adopt Regulations for Alternative Onsite Sewage Systems |

Comment Period | Ended on 2/4/2011 |
I'd like to comment on the VA Department of Health's proposed final regulations concerning on-site septic systems.
While there is much to support in the proposal, I ask that you also include the following items:
I feel that the required reductions in Nitorgen pollution in the Chesapeake Bay watershed need to remain in the proposal,
Allowing septic effluent to go directly into groundwater is a *bad* idea - it should be reated first,
These systems should not be permitted without any dry ground underneath,
and I feel that the prohibition against putting systems such as these in wetlands needs to remain in place.
Thank you,
