Replacement Sewage System Evaluations
The Site Evaluation is the first step in the process for obtaining a permit to replace a failing on-site sewage system on land that does not have municipal waste water services available. After an application has been made, a sanitarian will evaluate the proposed site to determine a suitable system replacement based on the requirements of the sanitary code. Some of the specific items that are examined during the evaluation are:
- Soil type and permeability
- Depth to seasonal high water table
- Slope
- Horizontal separation distance from wells, surface waters, property lines.
- Amount of suitable area available
- Area hydrogeology
- Runoff patterns
- Proposed land use
- Easements, right-of-ways, & building setbacks
- Location of buried utilities and other site improvements
- Existing development on adjacent lots
