sewerage system and treatment works shall be investigated. This study
shall include the location of treatment facilities, receiving stream,
type and degree of treatment and design capacity.

If either of the above methods of sewerage disposal
are found to be feasible, formal application shall be made to the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection

The Planning Commission will approve on-lot
individual subsurface sewage disposal systems only when the feasibility
report indicates:

type of system.
[3]
Such systems will not endanger groundwater supplies
below the level of the absorption system.
