At least one percolation test shall be performed at the site of each
commercial, industrial or residential subdivision disposal area. In the case

residential unit, a percolation test will be required only when the Board
of Health deems it necessary by reason of unusual topography, experience with
the area in question or for other good and valid reasons.
