(6) Ground surface elevations at the beginning, middle and ends of all trenches less than 24 inches deep, and at the four corners, the midpoints and along the long axis of the upslope and downslope edge of all elevated sand mounds;
(7) Accurate two foot contours must be provided on slopes >6%;
(8) Provide elevations for sites with >6% slope;
(9) Sketch of geographic location shall be included on the plan;
(10) Legal description or tax number must be on plot plan;
(11) Lot line dimensions must be provided;
(12) Proposed or existing location of house and well must be provided. Include other proposed or existing structures, driveways, parking areas or other improvements on plan even if they will be removed;
(13) All trees that are to remain in the proposed absorption areas must be accurately indicated on the plan;
(14) Location of all underground service, utility lines and easements must be provided;
(15) Location of soil evaluation sites must be shown on system design plan. If the system is proposed outside the area of soil borings, then another soil evaluation may be required for the new area before plans are submitted;
(16) All wells, existing and proposed, on the property and within 50 feet outside property lines in case of residential systems and 100 feet outside property lines in case of commercial systems must be accurately indicated on plan;
(17) Septic tank location, manufacturer and liquid capacity must be provided on plan;
(18) Invert elevation of building sewer must be provided on plot plan unless lift pump is required;
(19) Trenches must be shown level and placed along the contour;
(20) Type of trenches being proposed, i.e., stone, chambers (make/model), tire chips and the like, must be indicated in cross sectional view of trench;
(21) All water lines within 50 feet of the absorption field in case of residential systems and 100 feet of the absorption field in case of commercial systems must be indicated on plan;
(22) Distances between trenches must be indicated on plan;
(23) Location of sewer line, absorption trenches, subsurface drains and distribution boxes;
(24) Length of sewer lines, header line, absorption lines and subsurface drains. If subsurface drain is shown, then provide invert elevation at lowest area of field and at the discharge point;
(25) Distance to septic tank from foundations, lot lines, all wells and all water lines;
(26) Distances from private on-site sewage system to all lakes, streams, ponds, marshes, flood plains, swales, drainage ditches or other surface water within 50 feet of system in case of residential systems and 100 feet of system in case of commercial systems must be provided;
(27) Include ground surface elevations at the subsurface drain, absorption field and the approved outlet locations for all subsurface drains;
(28) Cross sectional drawing of subsurface drain with detail must be provided;
(29) Maximum cover over trench systems shall be 24 inches for new systems, 36 inches for repair and/or replacement trench systems and 12-inch minimum and 18-inch maximum cover for elevated sand mounds systems;
(30) Flood plain elevation must be provided where property or part thereof is within a flood plain;
(31) A copy of any recorded easements must be provided, i.e., subsurface drains; and
(32) Pipe specifications must be provided.
(B) The Health Officer may suspend a permit to construct a private on-site sewage system whenever information on the application or a plot plan is found to be inaccurate. The Health Officer may revoke a permit to construct a private on-site sewage system whenever information on the application or a plot plan is found to be inaccurate and the inaccurate information will preclude or eliminate the ability to lawfully install the system as designed.
