Sewer appears to be available to this property. Please contact the local sewer authority to determine sewer availability. If sewer is available, the structure may be required to tie into sewer and the STS properly abandoned under a permit from SCPH. 4. Due to vacancy, intermittent use, or a lack of available water for testing purposes, the functionality of the STS cannot be determined at this time. A re-inspection is recommended once the structure is occupied for a minimum of 60 days. Please contact the inspector listed above to schedule this re-inspection. 5. This system is a discharging STS. The quality of the discharge could not be observed during the inspection to ensure that the STS is functioning properly.

Inspection comments and additional observations: Septic Musty Odorless None This STS falls under EPA guidelines and requires the submission of an application for Ohio EPA s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) permit. This permit will require annual sampling of the discharge as well as a service contract with a registered service provider. All or some of the STS components are unknown and could not be evaluated during this inspection. This STS is designed to be alternated or diverted. This must be performed every six months. This HSTS was difficult to evaluate due to: Dense overgrowth Snow cover Significant rain fall or snow melt Inaccessibility Lack of records Other: Comments: * On average, a STS or septic system properly treats wastewater for about 20 to 25 years before needing to be replaced. Changes in the number of occupants, water usage or the rerouting of plumbing may affect the future performance of the system. Form Provided by: Page 4 of 7
