✓ Was the facility or dwelling inspected for signs of sewage back up?
✓ Was the site inspected for signs of break out?
✓ _ Were all system components,excluding the SAS, located on site?
✓ _ Were the septic tank manholes uncovered,opened,and the interior of the tank inspected for the condition
of the baffles or tees,material of construction,dimensions,depth of liquid,depth of sludge and depth of scum?
✓ _ Was the facility owner(and occupants if different from owner)provided with information on the proper
maintenance of subsurface sewage disposal systems?
The size and location of the Soil Absorption System (SAS)on the site has been detennined based on:
Yes No
✓ _ Existing information. For example,a plan at the Board of Health.
✓ Determined in the field(if any of the failure criteria related to Part C is at issue approximation of distance
is unacceptable) [310 CMR 15.302(3)(b)].
