Sewage Facilities Planning
Sewage Facilities Planning is a regulatory process used to ensure that proposed wastewater projects comply with state and local environmental standards before they are approved. This process typically involves submitting a planning module – a detailed document that outlines how a proposed land development or sewage project will manage wastewater.
Key components include:
- Project description and location
- Analysis of wastewater flow estimates
- Evaluation of available treatment options (public sewer, on-lot systems, etc.)
- Assessment of environmental impacts
- Demonstration of consistency with municipal and regional sewage plans
- Public and agency reviews
This permitting step is often required before subdivision or land development approvals can proceed. It ensures that sewage disposal is properly planned and won’t harm public health or the environment.
