These Regulations need to be amended to allow the use of alternative systems for voluntary upgrades and malfunctioning seage disposal systems, to be used in soil conditions that do not meet regulation due to high seasonal water table. As it stands now if a alternative system is proposed for a site with seasonal water table indicators present at or near the surface the system must meet the AOSS regulations. This includes all the testing requirements. There also is a required 10' horizontal separation to the existing system with an alternative proposal. In many cases the separation both vertical and horizontal can not be met and the owner must now go through the months of variances and waivers. This only forces the owner to go back with a system dispersing primary effluent back into the water table. No treatment is not helping to protect the public health in conditions such as these.  Amend the Regulations to exempt all voluntary upgrades and repairs to existing sewage disposal systems from all the AOSS requirements.
