Section 340-071-0170 - Pre-Cover Inspections

(1) System installers must request a pre-cover inspection when system construction, alteration, or repair is complete except for backfill (cover) and as a permit otherwise requires. The agent must inspect the installation to determine whether it complies with this division, unless the agent waives the inspection under section (2) of this rule or OAR 340-071-0400(6).

(2) The agent may waive inspections for a system proposed to serve a single family dwelling or for a system of similar flow and waste strength if:

(a) The system was installed by a sewage disposal service business licensed under ORS 454.695;

(b) The installer complies with all requirements of this rule; and

(c) Upon the agent's request, the installer submits to the agent photographs of those portions of the construction for which the inspection is waived.

(3) To request a pre-cover inspection, the installer must submit the following information to the agent at the time system construction is complete.

(a) A detailed and accurate as-built plan of the constructed system.

(b) A list of all materials used in the construction of the system.

(c) Certification on a DEQ-approved form signed by the permittee who installed the system or an installer certified under OAR 340-071-0650 on a DEQ-approved form that the system was constructed as the permit, this division, and OAR chapter 340, division 073 require.

(4) An agent may require an owner to pay the inspection fee in OAR 340-071-0140(3) when a pre-cover inspection correction notice requires correction of improper construction and, at a subsequent inspection, the agent finds system construction deficiencies have not been corrected.
