Site Evaluation
When installing a new On-Site Sewage Facility better known as a septic system the first thing required to obtain a permit is a Site Evaluation. A State licensed Site Evaluator performs this step which includes digging a minimum of two backhoe test pits. These test pits must be dug at least two feet deeper than the design depth of the new disposal field and are used to determine several things. First the type and class of soil, the type of disposal system required by the soil conditions, and if there are any restrictive horizons in the soil that would inhibit a disposal system from working properly.
After digging the test pits a survey of the property is necessary to determine if the required setbacks from wells, property lines, buildings, and other features will be met. A scale drawing is made showing all setbacks and detailing where the septic system will be installed. This drawing is required by the local permitting authority for a permit granted.
