Default Shoreland exemption for failed systems

Env-Wq 1406.04 Activities in Protected Shoreland That Do Not Require a Shoreland Permit.

(a) A person shall not be required to obtain a permit under RSA 483-B:5-b, I,(a) prior to undertaking any activity listed in (c) or (d), below, in the protected shoreland, provided that the activity is conducted in accordance with the conditions noted.

(d) Activities exempt pursuant to (a), above, because the activity constitutes de minimis construction, excavation, or filling shall be as follows:

(8) Replacement of a failed septic system, either in-kind as specified in Env-Wq 1003.10 or under a new approval, provided there is no increase in sewage loading from the structure(s) served by the system;

In short, get squared away with the subsurface systems folks and get a new system, designed to meet the needs of the existing structure, installed as soon as possible.
