Check if the following have been done:
✓ Pumping information was requested of the owner, occupant and Board of Health.
✓ None of the system components have been pumped for at least two weeks and the system has been receiving normal flow
rates during that period. Large volumes of water have not been introduced into the system recently or as part of this
inspection.
N/A As built plans have been obtained and examined. Note they are not available with N/A.
✓ The facility or dwelling was inspected for signs of sewage backup.
✓ The system does not receive non -sanitary or industrial waste flow.
✓ The site was inspected for signs of breakout.
✓ All system components, excluding the SAS, have been located on the site.
✓ The septic tank manholes were uncovered, opened and the interior of the septic tank was inspected for condition of baffles
or tees, material of construction, dimensions, depth of liquid, depth of sludge, depth of scum.
✓ The facility owner (and occupants, if different from owner) were provided with information on the proper maintenance of
SSDS.
