Mr. Walde applied to construct a pump-out tank sewage disposal system on his lakefront property situated on Moyie Lake. The application was rejected on the basis that a pump-out disposal system shall not be issued unless a level of local government guarantees servicing and disposal of the waste as required by the On-Site Sewage Disposal Policy. Since the Regional District refused to accept responsibility the Environmental Health Officer refused Mr. Waldes application. The Board upheld the Environmental Health Officers decision. The Board found that without a government guarantee the Public Health could not be safeguarded.
