OAR 340-071-0215
Repair of Existing Systems

(1) The system owner must ensure a failing system is immediately repaired unless, in the opinion of the agent, adverse soil conditions resulting from climatic conditions would likely preclude a successful repair. In that circumstance, the agent may allow a delay in commencing or completing repairs until the soil conditions improve. If the agent authorizes a delay, the agent must issue a notice of noncompliance to the system owner specifying a compliance date and any interim provisions required to prevent a public health hazard and protect public waters.
(2) Except for emergency repairs, a person may not repair a failing system without first obtaining a repair permit under this rule. A person may make emergency repairs without first obtaining a permit if a repair permit application is submitted to the agent within three working days after the emergency repairs are begun. The permit application procedure is described in OAR 340-071-0160 (Permit Application Procedures — Construction, Installation, Alteration, and Repair Permits).
(3) Certificate of Satisfactory Completion. Upon completion of installation of that part of a system for which a repair permit was issued, the system installer must comply with the requirements for pre-cover inspections in OAR 340-071-0170 (Pre-Cover Inspections). The agent must issue or deny the Certificate of Satisfactory Completion under OAR 340-071-0175 (Certificate of Satisfactory Completion).
(4) Criteria for permit issuance.
(a) If the site characteristics and standards in OAR 340-071-0220 (Standard Subsurface Systems) can be met, the repair installation must conform to the requirements.
(b) If the site characteristics or standards in OAR 340-071-0220 (Standard Subsurface Systems) cannot be met, the agent may allow a reasonable repair installation to eliminate a public health hazard, including installing an alternative system as necessary.
(5) Notwithstanding the permit duration specified in OAR 340-071-0160 (Permit Application Procedures — Construction, Installation, Alteration, and Repair Permits)(5), a permit issued under this rule may be effective for a period of less than one year from the date of issue if specified by the agent.
(6) System owners must decommission failing systems under OAR 340-071-0185 (Decommissioning of Systems) if the systems cannot be repaired.
