Great regulation! You can now put sewage in the water table and in a restrictive soil. What's even better is that there's no way the health department will be capable of implementing an enforcement program.
Here's how it works. The regulation allows you to put sewage in the water table; a licensed operator will inspect your system once every 12 months; an end of pipe sample will be analyzed once every 5 years (every year for some systems); if there's no surface malfunction and the sample falls within limits at that specific point in time (but still contains pathogens) you are good to go!
I'll be testing my well water on a monthly basis to find out if I'm drinking sewage.
