Section 360. Site evaluation reports

All site evaluation reports submitted to the department shall be in a form approved by the division, shall contain the minimum information specified by the division, and shall be certified as fully complying with the Sewage Handling and Disposal Regulations (12VAC5-610). A statement approved by the department shall be used to certify that a site evaluation and/or design complies with the board's regulations for onsite sewage systems. No approval shall be granted pursuant to this chapter for any site that has not been certified by an AOSE/PE. Additional information required by local ordinances (i.e., Chesapeake Bay requirements) may be included with an AOSE submission in order to facilitate processing the application. However, for the purposes of an AOSE/PE certifying that an evaluation and/or design complies with the Sewage Handling and Disposal Regulations and for "deemed approval" only those requirements contained in the Board of Health's regulations are considered to apply unless a local government has requested its health department to implement a more restrictive local ordinance in accordance with 12VAC5-615-60 B. Wastewater system sites proposed for use must be defined in a manner that allows them to be identified with an accuracy and precision of three feet or less.
