Title 124 - Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems
Chapter 4 - Subdivisions

001 Subdivision Review and Approval Application
001.01 Prior to construction of a development area where an onsite wastewater treatment system is proposed on any lot less than three acres in size, the owner of the development area will submit an application for subdivision review and receive Department approval for the use of onsite wastewater treatment systems for the development area on a form provided by the Director and include any additional information as requested. The Department will review the application and determine the acceptability of onsite wastewater treatment systems for the development area. The Department will either approve or deny the use of onsite wastewater treatment systems for the development area. Approval will be based upon an evaluation of the submitted information to meet design requirements of this Title.
001.02 Once the Department has issued a subdivision approval, any subsequent change may be considered a new application and subject to the subdivision review and approval application and fee requirements.
001.03 A subdivision approval expires ten years from the date the approval is issued by the Department unless the owner submits a written request for reauthorization or extension from the Department prior to the expiration date and the reauthorization or extension is approved by the Department. Such reauthorization or extension will be subject to requirements in effect at the time the reauthorization or extension is issued, and such reauthorization or extension will be valid for no more than one year from the date of issuance. Additional reauthorization or extension may be requested in writing prior to expiration.
