(a) A person may apply for a permit to install an on-site wastewater treatment system by submitting an application for a permit on a form provided by the Director. A separate application and permit is required for each installation. The applicant shall submit with the application a diagram drawn to scale that shows the components of the system to be installed and their proposed location on the property. The applicant shall demonstrate that there is adequate area on the property to install the system and that there is adequate reserve area on the property that complies with the requirements of section 68.342.
(b) No permit shall be issued to install an on-site wastewater treatment system unless the applicant provides proof that the applicant has potable water available from a public water purveyor or an approved well and the applicant has submitted an application for a building permit.
(c) No permit shall be issued for an on-site wastewater treatment system until all grading on the property where the system is to be located has been completed and the Director has inspected the grading.
(d) A person may apply for a permit to rebuild, repair or add on to an on-site wastewater treatment system or any part of the system by submitting an application for a permit on a form provided by the Director. A separate application and permit are required for each rebuild, repair or addition. The application shall be accompanied by a diagram drawn to scale that shows the portions of the system to be rebuilt, repaired or added to.
(e) No permit shall be issued pursuant to this section if the Director determines that the location, area, soil porosity, ground water level, density of population in the area, the number of persons to be served or other conditions would cause the operation of the on-site wastewater treatment system described in the application to contaminate an underground water supply or to create an unsanitary condition endangering public health.
