Appendix D to Building By-law 2016-051 Septic System Maintenance Inspection APPENDIX D SEPTIC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE INSPECTION 1. Introduction The Building Code Act, 1992 (BCA) and Ontario Regulation 332/12 (Ontario Building Code) regulate the design, construction and renovation of treatment systems which are located wholly on the property which they serve (i.e. on site ) and have a design sewage capacity of 10,000 litres/day or less. Such systems typically provide treatment for smaller buildings such as houses, cottages, and small businesses. The OBC, O. Reg. 332/12, was recently amended to establish and govern mandatory on site sewage system maintenance inspection programs, to be administered in certain areas by local enforcement bodies. The recent amendments to the Building Code also govern discretionary on site sewage system maintenance inspection programs established by local enforcement bodies. 2.1 Mandatory Inspections Effective January 1, 2011, the OBC prescribed that most septic systems that are located wholly or partly within 100m of Lake Simcoe shoreline be inspected for compliance with the requirements of Division B, Section 8.9 of the OBC. There are some areas exempt from the requirement. Effective January 1, 2016, the above exemption is no longer applicable and the OBC prescribes that all septic systems that are located wholly or partly within 100 metres of each of the following features be inspected for compliance with the requirements of Division B, Section 8.9. of the OBC: a. Lake Simcoe shoreline; b. any river or stream in the Lake Simcoe watershed that continually flows in an average year; c. any lake or pond in the Lake Simcoe watershed that is connected on the surface to a river or stream described in (a) and (b); d. any other lake or pond in the Lake Simcoe watershed that has a surface area greater than 8 hectares; and e. proximity to Vulnerable Areas within Source Protection Area. The Source Water Protection Plan of the South Georgian Bay Lake Simcoe Protection Region became in effect on July 1, 2015. The OBC prescribes that all septic systems wholly or partly located within a vulnerable area in a source protection area are required

Appendix D to Building By-law 2016-051 Septic System Maintenance Inspection to be inspected for compliance with the requirements of Division B, Section 8.9. of the OBC. 2.2 Discretionary Inspections The Building Code allows for properties located outside of the Mandatory Inspection area may be subject to a Sewage System Maintenance Inspection Program 3. Authority for Inspections Sewage system maintenance inspections are generally intended to determine whether a sewage system is in substantial compliance with the operation and maintenance requirements outlined in Division B, Section 8.9. of the OBC. All septic systems located in areas subject to the Septic System Maintenance Inspection Program shall be inspected every five years from the date of construction or from the date of the most recent maintenance inspection. 4. Fees A Sewage System Maintenance Inspection Program fee shall be assessed as per Schedule A of the Building By-law. The fee is to be added to the tax roll during the year in which the property is to be inspected. 5. Enforcement If OBC violations or signs of possible future problems are detected, the Inspector will follow-up on those matters with the owner. If an Inspector finds that an on-site sewage system is malfunctioning or failing or has malfunctioned or failed, the Inspector will assess the severity of the matter. The Inspector may require additional inspections, investigations, tests, reports or other services at the owner s cost to determine the condition of an on-site sewage system. The inspector may issue an Order to notify the owner of the problem and provide direction to the owner to correct the deficiency. Where an on-site sewage system is beyond repair, a new system may need to be constructed.
