What must a person do if constructing a new building after June 30, 1994?

The requirement to provide evidence of an application for a sewage system permit when constructing a new building after June 30, 1994, is essential because it ensures that any septic system to be installed meets state and local regulations for health and safety. This regulation was put in place to help prevent contamination of local water supplies and protect public health by ensuring that septic systems are designed and installed according to established guidelines.

Obtaining a sewage system permit is a critical step in the construction process as it demonstrates compliance with environmental standards, thereby enabling the local health department or governing body to oversee the septic system's planning and execution. This requirement reflects a broader commitment to sustainable building practices and responsible waste management in Tennessee.
