the subdivider shall furnish to the Planning Board satisfactory proof
of proper sewage disposal by soil tests. A subsoil test shall be required
for each new lot to be created. Said subsoil test shall be taken within

date when a satisfactory subsoil test was made thereon, a new test
shall not be required for the building site involved, provided that
the sewage disposal system to be located in the area previously tested
and the subsequent regrading or filling of the area does not, in the
