was introduced in 1999, and signed into law by Gov. Davis in the year 2000. Implementation of this bill includes mandatory inspections of all septics/wells across the state in the year 2010. The recent opposition is just a delayed reaction to this law that has been on the books for years. As the bill stands right now, it will affect Lake County and its property values in dramatic fashion, especially if your property is within 600 feet of a body of water, or a run off creek, depending on how they are defined in the final implementation plan.
If you have a septic system, and/or a well, you should google ab885 and educate yourself about this legislation.

However, the Water Quality Control Board would be advised to leave this septic tank inspection idea alone. I think over taxed, over regulated, over governed Californians are getting sick and tired of taxation and regulation. Young people are headed to less regulated states ( Texas, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada) to find good jobs and affordable housing. Chesbro and his clown crowd should work on balancing California's budget with tax cuts and spending cuts. Forget more regulations!!!

Its what bureaucrats do on the way to fascism.
