No person shall install, construct, alter, or repair or cause to be installed, constructed, altered, or repaired any individual sewage disposal system, nor shall he or she begin construction of any improvement to his or her property from which sewage will have to be disposed of by means of an individual sewage disposal system, including additions which will result in increased sewage flow, until he or she has obtained the written approval of the director of the department of environmental management of the plans and specifications for the work. Repairs or alterations shall, insofar as possible, comply in every respect with the standards set forth in subject regulations. A municipality may only grant a building permit pursuant to the State Building Code where the person applying for the building permit presents to the municipality the written approval of the director as required by departmental regulations on the individual sewage disposal systems. Upon completion of the installation, construction, alteration, or repair of the individual sewage disposal system, the owner shall submit a copy of the certificate of conformance from the department of environmental management to the building official prior to the issuance of a certificate of use and occupancy as required by §§ 23-27.3-120.0--23-27.3-120.6.
