Outreach and engagement
The County is in the process of seeking input from residents and the community, technical experts, local septic professionals, and other stakeholders to provide input and feedback on the challenges and/or successes with current septic system policies, processes, and programs. Ideas and proposed recommendations will be reviewed to include in the County’s development of the LAMP to submit to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board.
In September, the County updated its timeline for the public draft of its Local Agency Management Program (LAMP), which regulates the County's septic systems. At that time, public review of the draft was expected in mid-October, followed by a first reading at the Board of Supervisors meeting on November 10.
Since then, the Board's subcommittee, staff, technical consultants, and project team have been developing the draft and consolidating the input received. Community input has been a major factor in shaping the regulations, with comments and feedback from more than 500 participants in nearly 60 community and individual meetings.
The Board and staff are working to ensure that the version submitted to the Water Board for approval reflects feedback from the community, staff, and technical consultants. They have determined that resolving the remaining complex issues will take more time.
