This item concerns proposed regulations for onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems, particularly in the Florida Keys. The regulations address requirements for engineer-designed systems, innovative systems, and special rules for Monroe County considering local soil and water conditions. For lots where standard setback distances from surface waters and specific habitats cannot be met, an injection well may be approved for effluent disposal. This proposal is currently under review by the Inspection Fund Advisory Board. The work would involve compliance with new engineering and construction standards for sewage systems, potentially including site-specific designs, system re-engineering if needed, and the installation of injection wells. Contractors specializing in plumbing, site preparation, and potentially specialized civil engineering services may find opportunities. Engaging early could provide an advantage as these regulations are being considered.
