(A) General.
(1) On-site wastewater disposal systems shall conform to state standards. All on-site wastewater disposal systems shall be designed by a state registered professional engineer and installed by a state certified installer.
(2) No person may construct, install, or operate an on-site wastewater system where a public wastewater system is available. In the event a public wastewater system becomes available in an area previously served by individual on-site wastewater systems, an amortization schedule should be determined to bring all effected properties into compliance, and the property owner shall be required to remove or reclaim the old system and hook into the public wastewater system per ARSD 74:53:01:07 and SDCL §§ 9-48 and 9-54-10.
(3) All on-site wastewater systems must follow Title II of this code.
(B) Design factors.
(1) On-site wastewater systems should be designed for the ultimate tributary population. Due consideration should be given to current zoning regulations and approved Planning and Zoning reports where applicable. Sewer capacities should be adequate to handle the anticipated maximum hourly quantity of sewerage and industrial waste.
(2) Clustered on-site wastewater systems using a common drain field system should be adequate to handle the anticipated maximum hourly quantity of sewerage and industrial waste, together with an adequate allowance for infiltration and other extraneous flow.
(C) Location. On-site wastewater systems are to be located on the property with the home or business that is generating the wastewater, unless there is an easement to locate it on some adjacent property.
