The type, capacities, location and layout of a private wastewater disposal system shall comply with all recommendations of the Department of Public Health of the State of Ohio.
(A) Minimum lot area. No permit shall be issued for any private wastewater disposal system employing subsurface soil absorption facilities where the lot area is less than 1.5 acres. The foregoing area requirement may be altered by the Health Officer granting the permit when, in his or her judgment, the absorption characteristics of the soil on the lot justify such action. No septic tank or cesspool shall be permitted to discharge to any public sewer or natural outlet unless there is in connection therewith a proper leaching bed.
(B) Holding tank wastes. No person shall discharge holding tank, septic tank or cesspool wastes into a sanitary sewer unless a permit is secured from the Health Officer. This permit shall state the specific location of discharge, the time of day the discharge is to occur, the volume of the discharge and the wastewater constituents. If a permit is granted for discharge of waste into a sanitary sewer, the person shall pay the applicable user charges and fees and shall meet any other conditions required by the Health Officer.
