Sec. 51.
(a)
				Application for a permit to construct a commercial on-site sewage system shall
				be made to the department on forms provided by the department. Application for
				a construction permit shall be made at least ninety (90) days prior to the date
				construction of the commercial on-site sewage system is to commence. An
				application shall be considered complete only when the form is completed in its
				entirety, including all supplemental information required or requested by the
				department. Unless waived by the department an application for permit shall
				include the following:
(1) The signature of
				the applicant or his or her designated agent.
(2) The name, business address, and business
				telephone number of the owner. For corporate owners, the name of the
				corporation, the name of its designated agent, and that agent's business
				address and business telephone number shall suffice.
(3) One (1) set of detailed construction
				plans and specifications certified and sealed by a professional engineer or
				architect currently registered in Indiana, said plans drawn to scale and having
				sufficient clarity to be reproduced to create legible microfilm. As provided in
				IC
				25-21.5-1-7(b),
				registered land surveyors may only certify and seal plans for gravity sanitary
				sewers, storm sewers, and tile drains.
(4) A map or other documentation showing the
				location of the property involved.
(5) A plot plan, drawn to scale, showing the
				location of the proposed commercial on-site sewage system with respect to
				property lines, existing and proposed structures, roads, and parking lots, and
				any drinking water supply facilities within three hundred (300) feet of the
				commercial on-site sewage system. The plot plans shall also show site
				topography, with contours established at intervals of two (2) feet or
				less.
(6) The name, business
				address, and business telephone number of the registered engineer or architect
				who certified and sealed the construction plans and specifications required by
				subdivision (3), in writing.
(7)
				For those commercial on-site sewage systems that will include an absorption
				field, an on-site soils evaluation report prepared by a soil scientist,
				detailing his or her evaluation of soils observed in the area of the proposed
				absorption field. The on-site soils evaluation report shall include all
				information required in section 64 of this rule.
(8) For those commercial on-site sewage
				systems that will include a temporary sewage holding tank, documentation of
				sufficient clarity and conclusiveness to convince the department that the:
(A) sewage will be collected from the holding
				tank and disposed of, in compliance with IC 13-18-12;
(B) temporary sewage holding tank will be
				abandoned and a sewer connection will be made to another type of commercial
				on-site sewage system, or to a municipal or private utility sewer, or to a
				regional sewer district or conservancy district sewer, within two (2) years
				from the date of permit issuance; and
(C) holding tank has at least a three (3) day
				holding capacity at the ninety-five percent (95%) level, and will be equipped
				with an audio-visual alarm set to activate at the ninety-five percent (95%)
				level.
(9) Sewage
				characteristics and calculations used to estimate sewage flow on the peak day,
				in gallons, to be disposed of through each proposed commercial on-site sewage
				system. If more than one (1) type of facility is to be connected to a proposed
				commercial on-site sewage system, sewage characteristics and calculations used
				to estimate sewage flow, in gallons, from each facility on its peak day must be
				submitted.
(10) A summary
				delineating, for each diameter of pipe utilized, the estimated total length of
				sanitary sewer and sewage force main to be installed.
(11) For commercial facilities generating
				high strength waste as defined in section 20 of this rule, the plan submittal
				must include a process to accommodate the additional organic loading.
(12) All additional information requested by
				the department to substantiate that the proposed commercial on-site sewage
				system can reasonably be expected to treat and dispose of all sewage received
				without causing a health hazard, nuisance, surface water pollution, or ground
				water pollution.
