The wastewater drainfiled area needs to be determined before any other plans are made. The following items must be completed before a Site Assessment can be done:
1. Consult with Planning and Zoning in your area to determine land use restrictions
2. Consult with water and sewer districts in your area about connecting to public sewer and water. PLEASE NOTE: You are required to connect to public sewer if it is available within 300 feet of the property line.
3. Dig soil exploration hole(s) (see page 2)
PLEASE NOTE: If you do not have 4 feet of soil before reaching ground water (seasonal changes such as irrigation and snow melts may cause higher ground water) AND 6 feet of soil before reaching bedrock or other impervious layer, you may be denied a wastewater permit. Do not proceed. Consult with a certified individual (ADD LINK HERE) or TriCounty Health Department.
4. Submit percolation test results and soil log. Percolation test must be conducted or supervised by a certified individual (ADD LINK HERE) (see page 2)
5. Draw details (as per instructions below) on the plat obtained from the County Recorder (see page 3).
