For new system evaluations: 1. Property must be cleared (mowed, bush-hogged, etc.) to permit easy access. This may require mowing tall weeds in a field or cutting bushes and limbing trees in a wooded area. If wooded lots are cleared, it is very important not to disturb existing soil or reshape lots in any way. Clearing with heavy equipment should only be done in dry conditions. Disturbance of soil may cause sites to be unsuitable for a septic system or may require a more expensive system. A permit that has been issued could be revoked due to site disturbance or construction in the area permitted for the septic system or repair area. 2. Home corners must be flagged with provided white flags. 3. Property corners must be flagged. All survey irons must be identified prior to calling for the site evaluation, if owner/agent cannot find irons, then a licensed surveyor should be hired by the owner/agent to identify irons. 4. Property must be identified by a provided placard on the road frontage. 5. Any designated wetlands must be identified prior to this evaluation.

If the information in the application for an improvements permit is falsified, changed, or the site is altered, then the improvements permit and authorization to construct shall become invalid. The permit is valid for either 60 months or without expiration depending upon documentation submitted. (Complete site plan = 60 months; complete plat = without expiration).

Applications for permits require the "signature of the owner or owner's legal representative" (15ANCAC 18A .1937). If the owner does not sign the application himself or herself, they can submit any one of the following documents to designate their legal representative:

I, the owner of the property, give the applicant authorization to act as an agent on my behalf in applying for, signing, obtaining any of the documents below.
