(A) All proposals for new chemical substance sources within the five-year capture zone (Zone 3) must be reviewed by the Groundwater Protection Committee for compliance with this chapter, including obtaining a groundwater protection permit pursuant to this chapter, prior to issuance of any underlying permit.
(B) No groundwater operating permit shall be issued unless a finding is made by the Groundwater Protection Committee that the proposal will not impact the long term, short term, or cumulative quality of the aquifer. The finding shall be based on the present or past land use activities conducted at the chemical substance source; chemical substances stored, handled, treated, used, or produced; and the potential for the activities or chemical substances to degrade groundwater quality.
(C) New sources of sanitary sewerage (residential and non-residential) shall, as a condition of the building permit, be required to connect to an agency permitted central sanitary sewer system prior to occupancy, if available, as required by the county’s sanitary health ordinance.
