There are many factors that go into siting an on-site sewage treatment/disposal system and it's important to know this to ensure that the site will be adequate and that Ohio EPA can approve the installation of an on-site system. For systems greater than 1,000 gallons per day, and in areas where the local health board has not taken on the small flow onsite sewage treatment systems, you must apply for and receive a wastewater permit-to-install (PTI) from Ohio EPA before constructing a new system, or before modifying an existing system. For a list of local health boards that have chosen to regulate these small flow onsite sewage treatment systems for business/commercial operations, please visit the Ohio Department of Health website. Some examples of on-site systems include, septic tank/leach fields, mound systems, drip irrigation systems and package plants.
