(B) Any deviation from the original permit as approved must be authorized in advance by the Health Department. Failure to do so and/or to follow the original permit installation conditions constitutes a violation.
(C) The application for such permit shall be made on a form provided by the Health Department and shall be supplemented by any plans, specification, and other information as is deemed necessary by the Health Department.
(D) A permit and inspection fee shall be paid to the Health Department at the time the application is filed.
(E) A permit issued for a private sewage disposal system or privy shall not become valid until the installation is completed in compliance with the standards set forth in this chapter and its incorporated references, and in the proposed design of the system, which must receive preliminary approval from the Health Department, and until the permit card is signed by the Health Officer or his or her duly appointed representative.
(F) The Health Department shall be allowed to inspect the work at any stage of construction, and the applicant for the permit and/or the installer shall notify the Health Department 48 hours prior to work being ready for final inspection. The inspection and determination shall be made within two days of the receipt of notice by the Health Department and shall be completed before any underground portions of a system are covered, except in the case of extenuating circumstances as determined by the Health Department.
(G) Any installation which is covered without authorization from or inspected by the Health Department must be uncovered for a final inspection prior to approval being given for the work.
(H) The permit issued for a private sewage disposal system shall be posted in a conspicuous place at or near the building where the private sewage disposal system is under construction. The notice should be plainly visible from the public thoroughfare serving the building.
