How do I prepare for the monitoring inspection?
The inspection ports on the top of the tank must be uncovered and loosened so that the solids in the tank can be measured and components checked. Any monitoring ports in the drain field or treatment system need to be accessible for inspection. Many septic system records images have been scanned. This may help you in locating tanks and other system components. Viewing these records via the Permit Files Online page.
