1These conditions are also
							 suitable for subsurface trench pressure distribution on-site sewage systems.
2For subsurface trench
							 systems, if the distance from trench bottom to seasonal high water table is
							 less than twenty-four (24) inches, drainage must be installed in accordance
							 with section 63 of this rule. For elevated sand mound systems, if the depth of
							 the seasonal high water table is less than twenty (20) inches below the ground
							 surface, drainage must be installed in accordance with section 59 of this rule.
3See Sections 62(a)(2)(E),
							 78(b)(6), 79(b)(3)(B), 79(c)(3)(B), 79(d)(2)(B) and 80(b)(5).
This chart does not include considerations
							 such as the specific landscape features that must be met, the size of the soil
							 absorption system, the size of the area necessary for construction of the soil
							 absorption system on the contour with necessary setback and separation
							 distances, dispersal area, the diversion of surface drainage, the feasibility
							 of subsurface drainage, the ability to obtain easements, etc.
This chart does not take into
							 consideration the necessity to pump the effluent to overcome differences in
							 elevation (when a subsurface trench gravity system might otherwise be
							 constructed).
