Create a data base listing all the City's ISTS. <br /> <br />2. Enter into the data base all the information provided by septic tank pumpers, for the last three <br /> years. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Develop and implement a community education program. Such a program would address the <br />necessity of the program, and a description of how the program would work. The Ramsey <br />Resident would be used, but individual mailings to property owners would also be necessary. <br /> <br />Identify all properties which have not had the system pumped within the last 30 months and <br />send a letter to this group advising of the necessity to have their septic system pumped within <br />the next six months by a licensed pumper. A permit would be required for the pumping of a <br />septic tank. A permit form would need to be completed by the pumper indicating the <br />address, date of pumping, volume pumped, and location that the sewage was disposed. The <br />pumper would also be required to indicate any evidence of system failure. A permit fee <br />could be charged to offset the cost of the program, either partially or wholly. <br /> <br />5. Check the list for compliance. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Adopt an enforcement plan. A second letter would be sent advising that notice of pumping <br />has not been received and allow a six-week grace period for compliance. After grace period, <br />send a letter advising property owner that the City Attorney has been directed to initiate legal <br />action, and that action will be terminated if compliance is obtained. <br /> <br /> <br />
