8.2.1.2. — Site Evaluation

(1) A site evaluation shall be conducted on every site where a new or replacement sewage system is to be installed.

(2) The percolation time shall be determined by either percolation tests or by classifying the soil according to the Unified Soil Classification System as described in Supplementary Standard SB-6.

(3) Where the percolation time is determined by a percolation test, there shall be a minimum of 3 locations selected, suitably spaced to accurately evaluate the leaching bed area, with the highest percolation time of the tests being used

Editor's note

O. Reg. 137/07 replaces a standard reference in Sentence (2) of this article but leaves Sentence (3) unchanged, so the missing terminal period described for the prior version carries forward to this version.
