-Chapter 7080 now requires that any time a system is inspected, the inspection process must <br />include a confirmation of the systems's compliance status, i.c. a determination of whether <br />it meets the 3-foot separation. <br />-Further, the State requires that the condition of septic systems be disclosed at the time of <br />property sale, and because mortgage companies will likely require necessary system repairs <br />at the time of sale, Orono residents need to be aware of the compliance status of their <br />systems as early as possible. <br />Outside of Shoreland areas. State regulations do not require a specific deadline for system repairs. <br />They allow local governments to establish appropriate repair timeframes. Staff chose to propose a <br />5-year deadline for non-Shoreland areas because that will allow identification of non-Shoreland non­ <br />conformities to proceed as part of our regular inspection program, yet delay their repair until the <br />higher priority Shoreland system repairs are completed. <br />Exhibit B is the proposed Ordinance.
