Variances: I can’t meet some requirements, can the GEPA Administrator approve a variance?
- GEPA has no legal authority to provide a variance from any requirement of the relevant laws or regulations governing onsite wastewater disposal systems (septic systems), except for some of the requirements related to connection to public sewer. See the sections titled “If sewer is installed in my neighborhood, do I have to connect even if my septic system is working fine?†and “How do I determine if public sewer is available?â€)
