Site Testing Procedure

 

 

Introduction

When helping a property owner and Sewage Enforcement Officer (SEO) test a site, be sure to remember and keep to the following six points. . .


Before You Start - Do's and Don'ts

  1. Do not arrange to do pit probes without first calling PA One Call hotline.

  2. Do call the PA One Call hotline (at 1-800-242-1776) and waiting the three required working days.  This is the law. (Click here to go to the PA One Call website and learn about the PA One Call law or enter a clearance request through the web.)

  3. Do not start the pit probe without the Sewage Enforcement Officer (SEO) present.

 


While You're Working with the SEO

  1. The SEO, along with the property owner, will select an area approximately 50 ft by 100 ft.

  2. The SEO will have you dig the pit probes and will make the required evaluation and record it.

  3. The SEO will indicate when he is through with the probe, and you can then cover it.
