Chapter 14.04 — DISCHARGE OF WASTES

The discharge of wastes within the boundaries of the Snelling community services district from leaching or percolation systems installed after July 1, 1973, is prohibited. An exemption to this prohibition may be granted by the Merced County health department after presentation by the proposed discharger of geologic and hydrologic evidence that leaching system disposal will not, individually or collectively, result in a pollution or nuisance. (Ord. 689, 1973)

The discharge of waste within the Snelling community services district from leaching or percolation systems is prohibited after July 1, 1976. An exemption to this prohibition may be granted whenever the California Regional Water Quality Control Board finds that the continued operation of septic tanks, cesspools, or other means of disposal in a particular area will not, individually or collectively, directly or indirectly, affect water quality. (Ord. 689, 1973)

Any person, firm or corporation violating any provisions of this chapter shall be subject to the penalties set forth in Chapter 1.28.
