They are proposing dramatic new requirements for Septic systems. Septic systems naturally add Nitrogen to the soil.
If the SNHD determines that nitrogen levels are too high, they are proposing to have the ability to require homeowners to replace their septic tanks with an expensive Nitrogen reducing system.
Of course, the massive expense will be paid for by the homeowner.
The SNHD will require testing each 3 months of the first year after installation, and yearly inspections after that, of course, paid for by the home owner.
This should concern any homeowner with a septic system. To contest these draconian requirements, residents should contact their County Commissioner, and also attend the public hearing

You’re looking at costs from $10,000 to $30,000 and that may just be for the system. additional costs include design, permitting, excavation, and specialized components such as aeration units or filtration systems. If they want these units put in our homes give us a subsidy of 75% for the upgrade cost. $50,000 X 75% = $37,500.
Goodness, it sounds like a lot of people will get hit with a huge bill for something the government doesn’t even understand. I agree with Mark: if the government is going to require such an expensive “fix” to people’s septic system, they need to at least help pay for it. It would be one thing if this would only cost $500 or so. That would be annoying, but not life-changing. But get a bill for $25k for something that’s not truly needed? That will set you back.
