A code regulating the location, construction, use, maintenance and method
of emptying or cleaning individual sewage disposal systems; the issuance of
permits to locate, construct, empty or clean said systems; and fixing penalties
for the violation thereof, is hereby adopted pursuant to Chapter 188, P.L.
1950 (N.J.S.A. 26:3-69.1 to 26:3-69.6). A copy of said code is annexed hereto
and made a part hereof without inclusion of the text thereof herein.
Said code established and adopted by this chapter is described and commonly
known as the "Individual Sewage Disposal System Code of New Jersey (1963)."
Three copies of said "Individual Sewage Disposal System Code of New
Jersey (1963)" have been placed on file in the office of the Secretary, Clerk
or other similar officer of this Board of Health upon the introduction of
this chapter and will remain on file in said office for the use and examination
of the public.
No person shall locate, construct or alter any individual sewage disposal
system until a permit for the location, construction or alteration of said
sewage disposal system shall have been issued by the Board of Health.
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 Board of Health
shall have issued a certificate indicating that said disposal system has been
located and constructed in compliance with the terms of the permit issued
and the requirements of the aforesaid code. Issuance of such certificate shall
not be required for alterations to an existing individual sewage disposal
system.
In case any permit or certificate required by this chapter is denied
by the Board of Health, a hearing shall be held thereon before the Board within
15 days after request therefor is made by the applicant and upon such hearing
the Board of Health shall affirm, alter or rescind its previous determination
and take action accordingly within 15 days after the date of such hearing.
The Board of Health may order all further work in and about any individual
sewage disposal system, which is being erected or installed in violation of
the 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 code, and after issuance of any such order
and the service of a copy thereof upon any person connected with or working
in and about the erection or installation of any such disposal system, or
any part thereof, no further work shall be done thereon except as aforesaid.
