    1         Senate Amendment 
    2  
    3         Delete lines 406 - 418
    4  and insert:
    5  discharge properly. A system is not in failure if it does not
    6  have a minimum separation distance between the bottom of the
    7  drainfield and the wettest season water table, or if an
    8  obstruction in a sanitary line or an effluent screen or filter
    9  prevents effluent from flowing into a drainfield. If a system
   10  failure is identified and several permittable remedial options
   11  are available to cure the failure, the homeowner may select the
   12  least costly permittable remedial measure. There may be
   13  instances in which a pump out is sufficient to resolve a system
   14  failure. Remedial measures to resolve a system failure must be
   15  limited to what is necessary to resolve the failure, but must
   16  otherwise meet, to the maximum extent practicable, the
   17  requirements of the repair code in effect at the time of the
   18  repair, provided the exceptions contained in s. 381.0065(4)(g)
   19  relating to soil condition, water table elevation, distance, and
   20  other setback requirements apply. For purposes of this section,
   21  an engineer-designed performance system to reduce nutrients may
   22  not be required as an alternative remediation measure to resolve
   23  the failure of a conventional system.
