(*1)   These distances have been determined for use in clay, silt and loam soils only. The minimum distances required for use in sand or other types of soil shall be determined for the proposed private sewage disposal system and approved by the Health Authority. Approval will be given if the Health Authority determines that the soil will provide treatment of the sewage.
(*2)   For separation distances to closed loop wells, see 77 Ill. Adm. Code 920.180.
(*3)   Includes lawn irrigation piping. See Section 905.20(d) for additional details on water lines and sewer separation.
(*4)   The building sewer or surface discharge effluent line may be located within 10 feet of a well or suction line from the pump to the well when cast iron pipe with mechanical joints or Schedule 40 PVC pipe with water-tight joints is used for the building sewer or surface discharge effluent line.
(*5)   There shall be 25 feet separation from municipal water supply lines.
