in effect§44.0218 Cesspool, Septic Tank, Subsurface Disposal System — Percolation Test — When Required
The Director of Public Health may require the applicant for such Construction Permit to furnish a report of an engineer, registered in the State of California, showing that soil percolation tests have been made by the engineer on the site of the proposed subsurface sewage disposal system and the results of such tests. If the Director of Public Health determines that the location, area, soil porosity, ground water level, density of population in the area, the number of persons to be served, or other conditions would cause the operation of such installation to create an unsanitary condition affecting the public health, such permit shall not be issued. In such cases the Construction Permit fee shall be refunded.
