C. Permit:
1. The setback for wastewater irrigation systems to property lines listed in previous permits of 150
feet is incorrect. The setback for coastal wastewater irrigation systems permitted or modified from
October 1, 1987 to January 31, 1993 is 200 feet from property lines. Either confirm that the
wastewater irrigation system meets the 200-foot setback from property lines, or request that the
setbacks be updated to the current setbacks listed below:
