§ 98-58. Variances.

The enforcement agency shall have the power under the following specified conditions to grant a variance from any of the standards referenced in sections 98-55 through 98-57 and to prescribe alternative requirements in their place:

(1)

Special circumstances. The enforcement agency may, under special circumstances, allow a variance from strict interpretation and enforcement of any standard where practical difficulties make it impossible to comply with the standard. Written evidence must be submitted showing that the proposed variance will not impair, contaminate or pollute the groundwater or endanger the health and safety of the public and that strict compliance with this division would be unreasonable in light of all circumstances.

(2)

Purpose of division not compromised. The granting of such a variance must be consistent with the purposes of this division.
