A hydrogeologic analysis and water quality testing shall be
required prior to the approval of any subdivision or land development
plan representing more than 10 dwelling units, or a nonresidential
use or uses which individually or collectively have an anticipated
daily water usage demand of 4,000 gallons per day or more, which proposes
to utilize an on-site community public water supply system or individual
private wells. However, this requirement will not apply to any single-family
residential development where individual lots are larger than one
acre.
A water quality test shall be conducted concurrently with any aquifer test required in §
180-801 of this chapter. Such tests shall be conducted by a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) certified laboratory. The quality of the water tested shall meet the minimum public drinking water standards as set forth by PA DEP's current standards, or be capable of treatment to attain said standard of quality. If an on-site community system is proposed, the PA DEP required "new source" analyses will be required.
