On-site septic systems, also known as subsurface wastewater systems, are a common method of wastewater disposal in areas without access to municipal sewer lines. These systems typically consist of two key components:
The Sampson County Health Department - Environmental Health Division plays a crucial role in ensuring the proper functioning and maintenance of on-site septic systems. Here's a breakdown of their key responsibilities:
Obtaining a septic system permit in Sampson County involves following these steps:
North Carolina law 15A NCAC 18A .1938 (c) places the responsibility for ensuring proper septic system operation and maintenance on the property owner. This includes repairs if necessary.
If you suspect a problem with your septic system, contact the Environmental Health Division. They can assess the issue and determine if a repair permit is required. They can also help you develop an appropriate solution. Both the property owner and authorized agents can apply for repair permits.
North Carolina regulations allow for an Engineered Option Permit (EOP) for on-site wastewater systems (15A NCAC 18A .1971). This option allows property owners to work with a licensed professional engineer to design, construct, operate, and maintain a septic system that deviates from standard procedures. The EOP process bypasses some of the direct oversight typically provided by the local health department. However, EOP systems still need to comply with all applicable state regulations.
