VII. SEWAGE TREATMENT

A. Where individual sewage treatment systems are proposed for each parcel:
1. Indicate the distance to the nearest public or community sewage treatment system.
2. Provide as attachments:
a. Two (2) copies of the plat which show the proposed suitable location on each lot for a subsurface treatment system and a 100% replacement area for the subsurface treatment system. Show the location of neighboring wells and subsurface treatment systems and the distances to each.
b. The results of percolation tests performed in representative areas for drainfields in accordance with the most recent Department of Environmental Quality Bulletin. Each percolation test shall be keyed by a number on a copy of the plat with the information and results provided in the report. The number of preliminary percolation tests required shall be one-fourth (1/4) of the total number of proposed lots and these tests shall be performed in the different soil types, or evenly spaced throughout the subdivision in the absence of soil variability.
c. A detailed soils description for the area shall be obtained from test holes at least seven (7) feet in depth. The number of test holes will depend upon the variability of the soils. The U.S. Department of Agricul-ture’s "Soils Classification System" shall be used in the descriptions. Information on the internal and surface drainage characteristics shall be included. Each test hole shall be keyed by a number on a copy of the plat with the information provided for in the report.
d. A description of the following physical conditions:
(1) Depth to groundwater at time of year when water table is nearest the surface and how this information was obtained.
(2) Minimum depth to bedrock or other impervious material, and how this information was obtained.
B. For a proposed public or community sewage treatment system:
1. Estimate the average number of gallons of sewage generated per day by the subdivision when fully developed.
2. Where an existing system is to be used:
a. Identify the system and the person, firm or agency responsible for its operation and maintenance.
b. Indicate the system’s capacity to handle additional use and its distance from the development.
c. Provide evidence that permission to connect has been granted.
3. Where a new system is proposed:
a. Attach a copy of the plat showing the location of all collection lines and the location and identification of the basic components of the treatment system.
b. If subsurface treatment of the effluent is proposed, give the results of the preliminary analysis and percolation tests in the area of the treatment site.
c. Provide a description of the following physical conditions:
(1) Depth to groundwater at time of year when water table is nearest the surface and how this information was obtained.
(2) Minimum depth to bedrock or other impervious material, and how this information was obtained.
d. Indicate who will bear the costs of installation and who will own, operate and maintain the system. Also, indicate the anticipated date of completion.
