A RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE 2008 WATER AND SEWER PLAN (DECEMBER 2016 CYCLE OF AMENDMENTS) for the purpose of changing the water and sewer category designations of properties within the 2008 Water and Sewer Plan.
Background
The 2008 Water and Sewer Plan provides for three cycles of category change requests annually to amend the Plan. This Resolution represents the December 2016 Cycle of Amendments.
The 2008 Water and Sewer Plan was adopted by CR-91-2008, and amended by CR-17-2009, CR-52-2009, CR-5-2010, CR-19-2010, CR-82-2010, CR-20-2011, CR-4-2012, CR-19-2012, CR-27-2012, CR-71-2012, CR-20-2013, CR-50-2013, CR-92-2013, CR-11-2014, CR-57-2014, CR-16-2015, CR-45-2015, CR-43-2016 and CR-62-2016. The December 2016 Cycle contains eight (8) requests for a category change. Six applications were originally received for the August 2016 Cycle that was not held.
Two (2) category change requests are in the Parkway sewer basin; four (4) are in the Western Branch sewer basin; and, two (2) are in the Piscataway sewer basin.
Additionally, the Department of the Environment (DoE) has requested to amend certain subdivided residential lots to reflect public water and sewer service designations and to remove septic system symbols from corresponding water and sewer maps. These amendment requests are located within Councilmanic Districts 6, 8 and 9.
Title 9, Subtitle 5 of the Environment Article of the Maryland Annotated Code, sets procedures for amendments and revisions to the Plan. At least thirty (30) days prior to the public hearing on the amendments, the County Council must submit to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission and Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission a copy of the resolution for their recommendations.
