What services are included in a site evaluation (relocation, new septic, verification, etc.)?
A site evaluation is a detailed review of the lot including soils, proposed type/size of structure, and available space requirements for initial system and repair system. Staff evaluates a number of site/soil factors including determination of suitability of soils present, design of the wastewater system, determination of conformance to setback requirements and location of a well site if needed. Before writing a permit, staff will also check adjacent lots for well and septic locations that could impact the lot permitted.
