Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3701 - Department of Health - Administration and Director › Chapter 3701-29 - Household Sewage Treatment Systems › Section 3701-29-08 - Subdivisions and new lots

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								 The board of
			 health review required in paragraph (C) of this rule shall be coordinated, as
			 applicable, with authorities having responsibility for the requirements
			 established in Chapter 711. of the Revised Code, zoning, recording of parcels
			 of land, or other land use authorities. The board of health shall consult with
			 appropriate sewer entity personnel such as a municipal or county sanitary
			 engineer to confirm sewer accessibility as described in paragraph (T) of rule
			 3701-29-06
			 of the Administrative Code, and plans for sewer extensions by a municipality,
			 sanitary district, regional water and sewer district, or other management
			 entity or wastewater planning authority responsible for sanitary
			 sewerage.
(B)
								 Any person proposing a subdivision or new lot(s) for
			 review by the board of health shall submit an application and sufficient
			 information to determine compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
			 Minimum information to be submitted or completed for review shall include the
			 following:
(1)
									
			 Completed application and any associated fees;
(2)
									 Staked or marked
			 locations of proposed lot corners/property lines on site;
(3)
									 A scaled
			 drawing. Any person proposing a subdivision may use previously prepared or
			 otherwise available drawings such as a survey prepared by a registered
			 professional surveyor, an aerial photograph or digital orthophotograph prepared
			 from a geographical information system, a soil evaluation or other similar
			 drawing for preliminary review. The drawing shall include the assessment and
			 documentation of the following:
(a)
										 The acreage of each proposed lot and the total land
			 area of the proposed subdivision;
(b)
										 Proposed lot
			 lines with detail on site conditions including vegetation, and drainage
			 features;
(c)
										 Any site information deemed necessary by the board of
			 health related to prior or existing land use including existing and proposed:
			 easements, utilities, structures, wells, foundations, roads, drainage features,
			 water bodies;
(d)
										 Identification of one or more system type(s) that
			 might be feasible on the proposed lots in accordance with this chapter;
			 and
(e)
										For new lot or subdivision proposals having more than
			 five lots, or for a fewer number when required by the board of health, the
			 scaled drawing shall also include topographic detail with contour lines
			 sufficient to determine slope and adequate length along the contour in the
			 areas considered suitable for STS.
(4)
									 A soil
			 evaluation completed in accordance with rule
			 3701-29-07
			 of the Administrative Code for each proposed lot;
(5)
									 If required or
			 accepted by the board of health, an order one soil survey of sufficient detail
			 to provide the soil profile information required in paragraphs (D) and (E) of
			 rule
			 3701-29-07
			 of the Administrative Code. The preparation of an order one soil survey does
			 not eliminate the need to conduct site specific soil evaluations for individual
			 lots in paragraph (B)(4) of this rule in the subdivision during the system
			 permitting process; and
(6)
									 When a proposed subdivision includes the creation of
			 at least twenty-five lots, or for any fewer numbers of lots as required by the
			 board of health, the request shall include written consultation from Ohio EPA
			 concerning the subdivision's accessibility to existing sanitary sewerage
			 systems as described in paragraph (I) of rule
			 3701-29-06
			 of the Administrative Code, and risks to surface and ground water
			 resources.
(7)
									 When subdivisions are proposed within the boundaries
			 of an inner management zone of a public water system, or located within a
			 hydrogeologically sensitive area as delineated on a ground water pollution
			 potential map from the Ohio department of natural resources, the application
			 shall include the map or inner management zone information and how the proposed
			 density and design of the STS shall ensure adequate treatment of effluent prior
			 to discharge to groundwater.
