SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Onsite sewage evaluations and septic system permits. Provides that, when a field analysis is necessary to protect the public health and integrity of the Commonwealth's environment, the Department of Health must conduct the field analysis prior to issuing a letter, permit or approval. If a field analysis is conducted, for any reason, after initiation of construction and the system design or site evaluation is found to be out of compliance with the Board's regulations, the permit shall remain valid and shall not be revoked. For the purposes of the Onsite Sewage Indemnification Fund, no negligence shall be impugned to the Department of Health if a system having a negative field analysis after initiation of construction fails within 3 years of construction.
