create a hardship on adjacent properties. Said variance shall be granted
in the minimum amount necessary to relieve said hardship.

sewage disposal system until a permit for the location, construction
or alteration of said disposal system shall have been issued by the
Board of Health.

The Board of Health may issue a permit if an application
for the same is accompanied by a certificate made by an engineer licensed
to practice professional engineering in New Jersey stating that the
design of the individual sewage disposal system as proposed is in
compliance with the code.

Applications for permits shall be submitted with two
sets of sealed plans and two sealed applications, and, upon completion,
two sets of as-built plans with two certifications from the preparing
engineer.

Should the owner/builder refuse to allow the engineer

regarding the septic plan review will not be provided to anyone other
than the engineer who designed the plan.

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 disposal system has been located and constructed in compliance
with the terms of the permit issued and the requirements of the aforesaid
code. Issuance of such certificate shall not be required for alterations
to an existing individual sewage disposal system.

The Board of Health may issue such a certificate if

with the terms of the permit issued and the requirements of the aforesaid
Code.
A.
Persons shall not engage in the business of emptying
or cleaning septic tanks, cesspools, privies or any place used for

to engage in such business issued by the Board of Health. Such licenses
shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of issuance
but may be renewed by the Board of Health. Said license may be revoked
for failure of the licensee to comply with the provisions of the Code
or any rule or ordinance of the Board of Health.
B.
The contents of any septic tank, cesspool, privy or
other receptacle containing human excrement shall not be removed until
a permit for such removal has been obtained from the Board of Health.

held thereon before the Board within 15 days after request therefor
is made by the applicant, and upon such hearing the Board of Health
shall affirm, alter or rescind its previous determination and take
action accordingly within 15 days after the date of such hearing.
The Board of Health may order all further work

thereafter the work continued without any violation of any of the
provisions of the code, and after issuance of any such order and the
service of a copy thereof upon any person connected with or working
