          majority of county residents from a designated sole source aquifer

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section  1. Notwithstanding any provision of article 145 of the educa-
     2  tion law, the public health law, or any other law to the contrary,  this
     3  act  shall  apply  to  a county with a population of one million or more
     4  which draws its primary source of drinking water for a majority of coun-
     5  ty residents from a designated sole source aquifer.
     6    § 2. In the case of nitrogen-reducing sewage disposal systems  includ-
     7  ing associated leaching structures, which are pre-engineered and pre-ma-
     8  nufactured  and  have  been approved for use by the county department of

    11  tial  lots  for an application to the county department of health.  This
    12  section shall only apply to plans for the  upgrade  of  existing  sewage
