    5  notifies the Secretary of State by letter of the repeal. A
    6  county identified as having a first magnitude spring within its
    7  boundaries is prohibited from opting out of this section, but
    8  the county may apply its ordinance within all or part of its
    9  geographic area. This section sets forth the uniform procedure
   10  for local governments to follow in establishing an onsite sewage

   12  Except as otherwise provided in this section, a local ordinance
   13  may not deviate from or exceed the substantive requirements of
   14  the evaluation and assessment program as provided in this
   15  section. This section does not derogate or limit county and
   16  municipal home rule authority to act outside the scope of this
   17  program and does not repeal or affect any other law that may

   21  treatment facilities to address public health and safety or from

   28  its independent and existing authority to meet the requirements
   29  of s. 381.00655. The evaluation and assessment program ordinance
   30  shall provide the following:
