Public Forums Regarding LAMP Water Quality Assessment Program
To fulfill responsibilities outlined in Humboldt County’s Local Area Management Plan (LAMP), Division of Environmental Health (DEH) staff are initiating an evaluation of the LAMP’s water quality assessment program to better understand the performance of existing Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS) and consider any negative effects of OWTS on our groundwater and surface water resources. Required every five years, the evaluation report will be submitted to the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. The key to a thorough assessment is consideration of the community experience.
DEH encourages all stakeholders to participate in these workshops to discuss their water quality concerns as well as their experience with existing regulations and potential revisions. Venue information for the upcoming in-person workshops will be updated as locations are secured. For more information regarding the upcoming public workshops, contact DEH Land Use Program staff at 707-445-6215 or envhealth@co.humboldt.ca.us.
