A.
No person shall locate, construct or alter any individual
sewage disposal system until a permit for the location, construction
or alteration of sewage disposal system shall have been issued by
the Board.
B.
The Board may issue a permit if an application for
the same is accompanied by a certificate given 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.
Persons shall not engage in the business of
emptying or cleaning septic tanks, cesspools, privies or any place
used for the reception or storage of human excrement who do not hold
a permit issued by the Board for each vehicle used in such business.
Such permits shall expire on December 31 of each year of issue. Said
license may be revoked for failure of the permittee to comply with
the provisions of the permit, the code or any rule or ordinance of
the Board.
A.
New individual disposal systems shall not be placed
in operation nor shall new dwellings or buildings or additions thereto
which must rely on such a system for sewage disposal be sold or occupied
until the Board 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.
B.
The Board may issue such a certificate if an engineer
licensed to practice professional engineering in New Jersey submit
a statement, in writing, signed by him to the Board that said disposal
system has been located and constructed in accordance with the terms
of the permit issued and the requirements of the aforesaid code.
The Board may order all further work in and
about any individual sewage disposal system which is being erected
or installed in violation of the code to be stopped forthwith, except
such work as shall be necessary to remedy such violation. In the event
that such violation has been remedied, the Board may permit the work
to be continued without any violation of any of the provisions of
the code, and after issuance of any such order and the service of
