The following systems are approved for individual on-site sewage disposal when designed, constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with the village of South Barrington septic system ordinances:
1) Septic Tanks & Field: Two tanks discharging into:
a. Subsurface seepage field with gravel-filled trenches
b. Chamber system
c. At-grade mound with class 1 aerator
d. Wisconsin mound with class 1 aerator
e. Illinois raised filter bed preceded by a batch treatment aeration system
Note: No reduction in size of treatment area allowed when using an aerator.
2) State approved alternative type systems or technology will be considered only for Planned Unit Developments, when the systems identified in subparagraph a)1) above have failed and for lots that do not have suitable soils for a conventional system. Soil investigation borings shall be done in all areas that could potentially support a septic treatment system. This investigation and subsequent design may limit the bedroom count and future consideration of any construction activity such as, but not limited to, pools, patios, and driveways. Such alternative type systems or technology will require specific approval by the Village Board of Trustees and must be based upon extraordinary circumstances or extraordinary site conditions and the recommendation of the Village Engineer certifying that such conditions exist and that no other alternative system or technology is suitable. Any alternative type system or technology approved by the Village Board of Trustees must also be compliant with all design, installation and submittal requirements set forth by the State of Illinois and the Village Engineer. The specific approval shall be evidenced by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Village Board of Trustees. The Village Board of Trustees will not provide the required specific approval for a self-inflicted difficulty or inconvenience such as a home designed with an amenity or amenities (e.g., an enlarged pool) that requires State approved alternative type systems or technology in lieu of the conventional system.
b) See code.
The village enforcement officer shall review and approve all septic system designs pursuant to this code. Every effort shall be made to approve and install the best possible system which complies with this code and is compatible with the site conditions.
Based on soil suitability tests, the proposed treatment system must meet the hierarchy of systems listed in section 905.30 a-1 above, with either a or b being the required first option and e being the last option if soils are unsuitable for the other type of systems.
c) See code.

Village Of South Barrington Notes:
1. Prior to the start of any building construction operation, a protective barrier shall be installed around all sides of the proposed septic field area and be located a minimum of ten feet (10') from the septic field. Septic roping must remain in place during entire course of construction. Absolutely no construction traffic, stockpiling of dirt or materials is allowed on any portion of the proposed septic area. Failure to comply may be cause for the issuance of a "stop work order" and the need for a new set of percolation tests.
2. All downspouts and sump pump discharge pipes shall discharge away from the septic area by means of a six (6") inch diameter (minimum) pipe running directly to a drainage ditch or drainage sewer.
3. All clearing of trees and brush shall be done by hand. No vehicular traffic is allowed.
4. The site shall be protected at all times during and after construction so that all soil will be retained on the property. Sod, seeding, straw bales, filter fabrics, etc., shall be used as necessary to prevent erosion into ditches, swales, structures or adjacent properties.
5. Underground sprinkler systems shall not be installed within twenty-five (25') feet of any designated septic field area and ten (10') feet from septic tanks. A separate permit is required for the installation of underground sprinkler systems.
6. Septic Fill Requirements: Where allowed, all filling operations must follow the procedures set forth by the village.
a) A site development permit must be applied for and issued before the septic filling operation can begin.
b) The design engineer shall be responsible to approve site preparation prior to placement of fill, all fill material, set grade stakes prior to initiating any fill operation and approve all finish grades for compliance with the design drawing after the fill has been placed. Letters of approval shall be submitted to the village indicating that the site was properly prepared prior to fill placement and that the soil used for the fill was acceptable for the intended use. A record drawing is then to be submitted showing that the fill placement meets design criteria.
c) If the depth of fill is greater than the depth of the required trench bottom, or if the fill is to be placed in order to create a septic area which previously failed its percolation test or soil test, then a new set of tests is required to be performed after fill has been placed and allowed to consolidate for a period of twelve (12) months.
d) The village building department shall be notified twenty-four (24) hours in advance of any fill operation or field construction.
e) No installation of the septic field to take place on wet or frozen ground.
f) All wells must be a minimum of sixty-five (65') feet from any property line, seventy-five (75') feet from any designated septic treatment area and fifty (50') feet from any septic tank systems.
g) The septic system area must be seeded and mulched or sodded prior to receiving an occupancy permit.
h) Any type of anticipated future construction activity including, but not limited to decks, swimming pools, regrading, walkways, and sewers is prohibited in any designated septic treatment area and must meet the minimum setback requirements stated in the village code.
i) The village building department must be notified at least twenty-four (24) hours before beginning construction of any portion of the septic system. (847-381-7510)
