I said would post what I could to answer Maxum's question about the legality of existing cesspools. The are too many variables to give a short answer here other than this: The seller is required to have a site assessment done evaluating the septic system. Always ask to see it. If the camp was built after 1967 then any system would have needed a permit. You may want to ask to see that also. If when you get these things, if anything makes you uneasy you can call the Subsurface Systems Bureau at DES and do some property specific investigating.
