Page 6 <br /> <br /> <br />h. Permit fee. <br /> <br />Application Review and Response: A licensed septic system inspector <br />shall review a permit application and supporting documents. Upon <br />satisfaction that the proposed work will conform to the provisions of this <br />Ordinance, the inspector shall issue a written permit authorizing <br />construction of the SSTS as designed. In the event the applicant makes a <br />significant change to the approved application, the applicant must contact <br />the Reviewer prior to initiating or continuing construction, modification, <br />or operation to determine whether an amended application will be <br />necessary, as determined by the Reviewer. If determined necessary, the <br />applicant shall file an amended application detailing the changed <br />conditions for approval prior to initiating or continuing construction, <br />modification, or operation for approval or denial. If the permit application <br />is incomplete or does not meet the requirements of this Ordinance the <br />Reviewer shall deny the application. A notice of denial shall be provided <br />to the applicant, which must state the reason <br /> <br />(f) Compliance Inspection Criteria <br /> <br />1. Soil Treatment Separation: <br /> <br />Any SSTS built before April 1, 1996 outside of areas designated as <br />shoreland areas and wellhead protection areas shall have at least two feet <br />of vertical separation between the bottom of the dispersal system and <br />seasonal saturation or bedrock. <br /> <br />Any SSTS built after March 31, 1996 or SSTS located in a shoreland <br />area, wellhead protection area, or serving food, beverage, or lodging <br />establishment as defined under 7080.1100, subp. 84 shall have a three- <br />foot vertical separation between the bottom soil infiltrative surface and <br />the periodically saturated soil and/or bedrock. <br /> <br />Existing systems that have no more than a fifteen percent reduction in <br />this separation distance (a separation distance no less than 30.6 inches) to <br />account for settling of sand or soil, normal variation of separation <br />distance measurements and interpretation of limiting layer characteristics <br />may be considered compliant under this Ordinance. The vertical <br />separation measurement shall be made outside the area of system <br />influence but in an area of similar soil. 7080.1500 subp. 4. <br />
