Three copies of the Standards for the Construction of Individual Subsurface
Sewage Disposal Systems have been placed on file in the office of the Secretary
of the Board of Health and the Borough of Health and the Borough Clerk for

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.
A.
New individual disposal systems shall not be placed in
operation, nor shall new buildings or dwellings or additions thereto be sold

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.
