What defines a Tier I permit for septic systems?

A Tier I permit for septic systems is specifically designed to cover minor repairs or expansions of existing systems. This permits relatively straightforward adjustments or enhancements to an already functioning septic system without necessitating extensive redesign or review processes that come with larger projects.

Such activities typically include tasks like replacing components within the existing system or making small modifications to improve performance while still adhering to safety and regulatory standards.

In distinction to other types of permits, Tier I permits focus on maintaining and improving existing systems rather than initiating new installations or conducting large-scale renovations that would require more comprehensive review and planning.
