of such sewage disposal system shall have been issued by the Health
Officer.
New individual disposal systems shall not be placed in operation,
nor shall new dwellings or buildings or additions thereto be sold
or occupied, which must rely on such a system for sewage disposal,
until the Health Officer shall have issued a certificate indicating
that such disposal system has been located and constructed in compliance
with the terms of the permit issued and the requirements of the Standards
for the Construction of Individual Subsurface Sewage Disposal Systems
set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:9-2.1, which shall govern in the event of

accordingly within 15 days after the date of such hearing.
The Health Officer may order all further work in and about any
individual sewage disposal system, which is being erected or installed
in violation of the Standards for the Construction of Individual Subsurface
Sewage Disposal Systems set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:9-2.1, which shall
govern in the event of any conflict or inconsistency with the Individual
Sewage Disposal System Code, to be stopped forthwith, except such
work as shall be necessary to remedy such violation, and, thereafter,
the work continued without any violation of any of the provisions
of the Standards for the Construction of Individual Subsurface Sewage
Disposal System set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:9-2.1, which shall govern
in the event of any conflict or inconsistency with the Individual
Sewage Disposal System Code, and after issuance of any such order
