Indiana Code Title 16. Health § 16-41-25-1

Current as of January 02, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

Sec. 1. (a) The state department shall adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 that provide for a reasonable period not exceeding thirty (30) days in which a plan review and permit for a residential onsite sewage system must be approved or disapproved.

(b) This subsection applies to a county with a population of more than eighty thousand (80,000) and less than eighty thousand four hundred (80,400).  As used in this subsection, “fill soil” means soil transported and deposited by humans or soil recently transported and deposited by natural erosion forces.  A rule that the state department adopts concerning the installation of residential onsite sewage systems in fill soil may not prohibit the installation of a residential onsite sewage system in fill soil on a plat if:

(1) before the effective date of the rule, the plat of the affected lot was recorded;

(2) there is not an available sewer line within seven hundred fifty (750) feet of the property line of the affected lot;  and

(3) the local health department determines that the soil, although fill soil, is suitable for the installation of a residential onsite sewage system.
