OWTS Manual Update May 22 2024
On June 4, 2024, Permit Sonoma will be seeking the Board of Supervisor’s authorization to submit a Local Agency Management Program to the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. The State’s OWTS Policy requires each jurisdiction to apply to the Regional Water Board in order to implement a local program for the regulation of onsite wastewater treatment systems (aka septic systems).
