(A) Soil percolation tests shall be performed for all subdivisions in which buildings at the time of construction will not be connected to an operating public or community sanitary sewage disposal system.
(B) Soil percolation tests shall be made in accordance with the procedure required by the State Department of Environmental Protection and the Borough Sewage Enforcement Officer.
(C) (1) Soil percolation tests shall be performed at or near the site of proposed on-site sanitary sewage disposal facilities. At least one test shall be performed on each lot within the subdivision.
(2) If the soil percolation tests are performed at a site, which the borough believes is not a feasible location for an on-site system given the proposed lot and street layout, topography and intended use of the lot, the borough may require soil percolation tests to be performed at a location that it deems feasible.
(D) The results of the soil percolation tests shall be analyzed by the borough, and by the State Department of Environmental Protection as necessary, and the final plan lot layout shall be based on this analysis. If the analysis of the soil percolation test results reveals that the soil is unsuitable for the intended use at the lot size(s) originally proposed, the borough may require that the lot size(s) be increased in accordance with the test results.
