N.J. Admin. Code § 7:9A-7.1 - Design requirements
(a) A professional
engineer who is licensed in the State of New Jersey shall design all individual
subsurface sewage disposal systems.
(b) The engineer shall take into
consideration slope, surface drainage, soil characteristics, the presence and
depth of limiting zones within the soil, soil permeability, type of wastes and
the expected volume of sanitary sewage in the design of all individual
subsurface sewage disposal systems.
(c) Individual subsurface sewage disposal
systems shall not be designed in a manner that will permit a direct discharge
of sanitary sewage or septic tank effluent onto the surface of the ground, into
a subsurface drain, or into any water course.
(d) The septic system designer shall design
the system in a manner that provides ground access on the property for
servicing and maintenance of all system components. This shall include
clearance for appropriate equipment and/or replacement components to be brought
to the existing component locations without the need to remove or alter
existing or proposed structures, accessory buildings, swimming pools, retaining
structures, patios, decks, trees or other permanent features.
