§ 26-77. Process for approval and permit.

(a)

Application for site approval and sewage disposal construction permit shall be made by filing an application with the county health department.

(b)

Such application shall be made to the health department at least 15 days prior to the beginning construction of an individual sewage disposal system.

(c)

The site approval and sewage disposal system will be based upon requirements of the state rules and regulations for individual sewage disposal system, chapter 2705-25, adopted under O.C.G.A. title 31.

(d)

The county sanitarian will submit a copy of each site approval application to the natural resource and conservation office for review. This review will determine the potential of the construction activities to negatively impact the jurisdictional wetlands protected by section 404 of the Clean Water Act. For reference purposes, copies of the most recent national wetland inventory maps will be maintained at the natural resource conservation offices. If it appears that jurisdictional wetlands are on the site and will be impacted, the applicant will be notified by the natural resource conservation service that a wetlands alteration permit from the corps of engineers will be required.
