The Calvert County Health Department Division of Environmental Health has established a deadline for the submission of Sanitary Construction Applications (for Septic Systems). Wednesday, December 19, 2012 will be the last date the Health Department will accept applications for guaranteed processing prior to the January 1, 2013 regulation change.
The regulation, known as the Sustainable Growth and Agricultural Preservation Act of 2012 (Senate Bill 236), also known as the septic bill, was passed during the 2012 General Assembly session. The Maryland Register (Volume 39, Issue 19) published a final action on Maryland Department of the Environment 26.04.02 on September 21, 2012.
The December 19 deadline allows Health Department staff the necessary time to review and make determinations on permit requests. A site plan is required in order to be issued a sanitary construction permit.
Questions regarding the deadline or the new regulation should be directed to the Calvert County Health Department Division of Environmental Health at 410-535-3922.
