Yuba County Municipal Code Art. 3 Advanced Alternative Systems

On any parcel created prior to the adoption of this Article, and where conditions on said parcel do not meet the standards for a conventional or special design system as set forth by Article 2 of this Chapter, the Director may allow innovative alternative/advanced design wastewater treatment and disposal systems. This applies to repairs of failing OWTS's of existing dwellings or small commercial establishments where replacement with a conventional septic tank-soil absorption system either standard or special systems is not feasible. This shall also apply to new construction of single family dwellings or small commercial establishments under one ownership. Such systems shall be limited as to number and type. The Director shall adopt and modify, as conditions warrant, a manual to accomplish the purpose of this Article and to ensure the protection of public health and safety.
