				expected to function satisfactorily or where groundwater or soil conditions are
				such that individual sewage disposal systems may cause pollution of
				groundwater, they are prohibited.
C. Where such installations may create an
				unsanitary condition or public health nuisance, individual sewage disposal
				systems are prohibited.
D. The use
				of cesspools is prohibited.
E.
				Where an individual sewage disposal system is proposed, the following
				conditions shall be satisfied:
1. A geological
				report shall be made by an engineer, geologist or other qualified person. The

				expected to function properly on each lot in the proposed subdivision. The
				Department may require additional tests when it deems necessary. The approval
				of a subdivision, based upon such reports, shall not extend to the plat if it
				is further subdivided or lot lines are substantially relocated.
2. Results of all tests shall be submitted to
