Every plan for a subdivision or land development and every application for a building permit for a new principal building that will be served by a well and/or septic system shall designate the proposed well and primary and alternate septic system locations.

(1) Such plan shall show that the proposed locations will meet the minimum isolation distances established by the Pennsylvania DEP regulations between a well and septic systems on the subject lot and all adjacent lots.
(2) A plan may show the outer extent of potential well locations, instead of one exact location, provided all of the potential area would still meet the isolation distance.
(3) If the well or septic system location is proposed to be changed from the location shown on the submitted plan, then a site plan showing the revised location shall be submitted for approval by the Zoning Officer and Sewage Enforcement Officer prior to issuance of the building permit.
(4) It is requested that well sites be placed in the front yard, thereby allowing septic systems to be placed in the rear yard. The intent is to minimize the visibility of any septic mound systems. In addition, if wells are located in consistent locations within a subdivision, it will make it easier for adjacent property owners to meet minimum separation distances between septic systems and wells.

If the Zoning Officer has reason to believe that a proposed increase in the number of dwelling units or expansion or change of a nonresidential use would result in increased flow to a septic system, then the application shall be referred to the Sewage Enforcement Officer. The Sewage Enforcement Officer shall require modification, expansion or replacement of the septic system if necessary to handle the proposed flow.
