Confirm replacement is needed
Rule out fixable distribution, tank and pump problems before committing to a new field.
Evaluate usable space
Soil, groundwater, wells, property lines and improvements affect the design. Do not choose field area from tank gallons alone.
Check the springs rules
Repairs and modifications in mapped Priority Focus Areas can require enhanced nitrogen-reducing treatment on any lot size.
Approve the full design
The permit scope may include tank certification, treatment upgrades and a new disposal area. Review ongoing equipment obligations too.
Allow for final inspection
Permit review, construction and inspection are separate stages. Weather, access and corrections can extend the overall schedule.
