In the event of discrepancies between these requirements, the most stringent requirements shall apply, unless otherwise approved in writing by the CO.

2. Complete forms and pay fees for Marion County Site Evaluation Application, Marion County Onsite Sewage Disposal Application, (after application review and approval) Obtain appropriate Septic Permit prior to construction of septic system.

3. There are two steps involved. Step 1 is a Site Evaluation. A Site Evaluation must be done to determine which type and size of system is suitable for your property and circumstances. Once a completed Site Evaluation application is received, an Onsite Wastewater Specialist will evaluate the property. Please allow 2-3 weeks for this part of the process. You will receive a Site Evaluation Report specifying the type and size of septic system required and any special instructions.

4. After you receive a favorable Site Evaluation, Step 2 is submitting an Onsite Sewage Disposal Application for the appropriate permit. This includes submitting additional information depending on the type of system. A permit is required before installing the system. After submitting a complete application, the documents will be reviewed. If approved, a Construction- Installation Permit will be issued. When issued, the property owner or DEQ-licensed septic installer may begin installation according to the permit specifications. After the system is inspected, and receives final approval, a Certificate of Satisfactory Completion will be issued, and you may begin using the system.

5. Please note each step in this process has a separate application and fees, depending on the type of system. The applications, forms and additional information are listed below. To prevent delay, fully complete the application and include any additional documentation as required.

6. Obtain the required inspections and upon completion of construction, submit Septic Site Plan

FAC 2024-05 May 22, 2024 and certifications required by Marion County.

7. Wet weather construction may require erosion and sediment control. Contractor shall comply with Oregon DEQ 1200-C permit requirements if applicable.

C.8 PREPARATION

1. Complete Marion County Site Evaluation to determine septic tank locations and septic drain field layout.

2. The Contractor shall verify the existing site conditions, including indicated dimensions, elevations, and pipe sizes, prior to ordering materials or beginning construction.

3. Coordinate sizes and locations of all work to ensure that the finished product looks and functions properly.

4. Locate and protect all underground utilities that are not designated to be replaced. Consult with Forest Service personnel to locate water pipes and valves, and ensure they are functioning properly, to allow for quick shutoff in case a waterline is damaged during the work.

5. Perform selective demolition in stages as necessary, to allow the existing septic system to remain in service as long as possible. Take reasonable measures to minimize downtime of existing utilities and coordinate expected downtimes.

6. Provide, erect, and maintain orange safety fencing and other security measures, including traffic controls, as necessary to minimize potential safety hazards created by construction activities. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining safety measures at all times during the Contract.

C.9 DEMOLITION / REMOVAL OF EXISTING SEPTIC SYSTEM

1. Remove and dispose of existing septic tank as required by Oregon DEQ. Coordinate with CO for inspection of tank after cleaning and prior to backfilling.
