The said code established and adopted by this chapter is described and
commonly known as the "Standards for Individual Subsurface Sewage Disposal
Systems" (N.J.A.C. 7:9A).
Three copies of the said Standards for Individual Subsurface Sewage
Disposal Systems (N.J.A.C. 7:9A) have been placed on file in the office of
the Secretary, Clerk or other similar officer of the 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.
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 plumbing system and said
disposal system have been located and constructed, including the posting in
a conspicuous place near the building sewer trap of a diagram showing the
exact location of septic tank, dry wells, laterals and their measurements
thereon, in compliance with the terms of the permit issued and the requirements
of the aforesaid code. Issuance of such certificates shall not be required
for alteration to an existing individual sewage disposal system.
No person shall alter, repair, renovate and construct any existing individual
subsurface sewage disposal system until a permit has been issued by the local
Board of Health. Application for a permit to alter, repair, renovate and construct
any existing individual sewage disposal system shall be made to the Board
of Health and shall be accompanied by three sets of plans and specifications.
In addition to the foregoing, there shall be included with the application
a plot plan of the property showing the existing facilities and proposed additions
or changes thereto, including actual dimensions and locations of septic tanks,
dry wells, seepage pits and/or laterals, and a statement to the effect that
the provisions of all applicable ordinances and codes adopted by the Board
of Health, Borough of Shrewsbury, will be fully complied with. The Health
Officer or Sanitary Inspector shall inspect the individual sewage disposal
system prior to the covering up of any portion of an individual sewage disposal
system to determine whether there has been complete compliance with this chapter
and the code.
Fees and charges are herewith established in conformance with the current
schedule of fees as adopted by the Monmouth County Regional Health Commission.
