Latest version.
  •    "Commercial on-site sewage system failure" means a commercial on-site sewage system that exhibits one (1) or more of the following:

    (1) The on-site sewage system refuses to accept sewage at the rate of design application thereby interfering with the normal use of commercial plumbing fixtures.

    (2) Effluent discharge exceeds the absorptive capacity of the soil, resulting in ponding, seepage, or other discharge of the effluent to the ground surface or to surface waters.

    (3) Effluent is discharged from the on-site sewage system causing contamination of a potable water supply, ground water, or surface waters.

    A failed commercial on-site sewage system is a health hazard. (Indiana State Department of Health; 410 IAC 6-10.1-9; filed Oct 19, 2012, 2:07 p.m.: 20121114-IR-410120157FRA)
