An agent may approve designing and constructing standard and alternative systems that depart from any standard in OAR 340-071-0220(1) (a) through (i) in designated rural zones if the following requirements are met:

(1) The county designates specific rural zoning classifications for this rule.

(2) The county designates a minimum parcel size of at least 10 acres.

(3) The parcel as proposed or existing is at least 10 acres and does not have an accessible area approvable for a standard onsite system.

(4) The permit is for an onsite system designed to serve a single family dwelling or a commercial facility allowed in the zone with a flow no greater than 600 gpd.

(5) The onsite system will not create a public health hazard or pollute public waters.

(6) Requiring strict compliance with standards in OAR 340-071-0220(1)(a) through (i) would in the agent's judgment be unreasonable, burdensome, or impractical.
