The sewage system requirements for this development are detailed in the "Geotechnical Investigation/On-site Sewage System Design" report prepared by AMEC Earth and Environmental, dated September 20,2001 and attached as Schedule "0" to this Agreement. This report is based on a set of assumptions regarding the maximum size of the dwellings in this development. Each septic system installed within this subdivision shall be approved by the County of Lambton under the Ontario Building Code or its successors. A sewage system envelope must be established on this lot and is required to contain sufficient area for an approved sewage system and a 100% contingency area for a second sewage system in the event that the first system fails The size and location of the replacement sewage system envelope shall be determined in accordance with the Ontario Building Code and shall not be less than 30 square metres.
