For permits issued under R.61-56 to construct an Individual Sewage Treatment and Disposal System serving more than one piece of deeded property the following requirements apply:
(a) A permit activity will not occur which is inconsistent with a plan or plan amendment approved under section208(b)(b) of the CWA, unless the Department finds such variance necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.
(b) A public entity shall own the system and shall be responsible for the operation, maintenance and replacement of all components unless otherwise approved by the Department. The Department may consider a request for a private entity or person, however the proposal must be evaluated on a case by case basis. The Department can evaluate the capability of reliable system operation in its evaluation.
(c) If the project is owned by a private entity or person, the Department shall require financial assurances for the operation, maintenance, and replacement of the tank and tile field system and relevant pumping components. If residential wastewater is not being managed, the Department may consider waiving this requirement, if justified.
(d) The permit holder shall be required to properly operate and maintain in good working order and operate as efficiently as possible all facilities and systems which are installed or used to achieve compliance with the terms and conditions of the permit.
