Jericho Mountain District
The Jericho Mountain District consists of an area within the Region with limited development potential due to steep slopes, poor suitability for on-lot sewer systems, high soil erosion potential, and extremely limited ground-water availability. For these reasons development is limited to single-family detached development on large lots for scattered-type development and cluster-type development, provided that individual on-lot waste disposal systems are utilized in accordance with the Act 537 Plan of the Participating Municipality where building or development is proposed
