CITY OF ORONO SEPTIC SYSTEM PERMIT INSTRUCTIONS The City of Orono Community Development Department requires all septic system installations, modifications or repairs to obtain a permit. All dwellings that are not connected to municipal or a central sewer system must be connected to an Individual Septic Treatment System (ISTS). This policy applies to all septic systems in Orono. 1: The following steps shall be completed to obtain a permit to install an ISTS in Orono: a. Obtain a complete site evaluation and a completed ISTS design from a licensed designer (include license #on the application). b. Obtain and complete an ISTS permit application from the City of Orono c. Submit a completed application for an ISTS Permit with a complete evaluation and design to the City of Orono at least three (3) business days before beginning septic work. d. The site evaluation and system design should be submitted on forms available from the U of M Extension Service SSTS Program at: http.//septic.umn.eduiformsandsheets/bytype/index.htm#design 2. Upon receiving a complete application with site evaluation and design, the City of Orono will review the documentation, visit the site to verify soils if required and issue the permit or ask for additional information. 3. Once the permit is issued, the installer must contact Metro West at least 48 hours before the requested inspection and follow up the morning of the install to confirm the time you will be ready for inspection. Please call Metro West at 763-479-1720 to schedule the inspection. If you are unable to reach Metro West, please contact Andrew Mack at the City of Orono at 952-249-4626 or at arnack@ci.orono.rnn.us 4. Upon completion of installation, the system must be inspected in accordance with MPCA rules and regulations with the Orono City Code. The inspection must be conducted before the system is fully covered without exception. The inspector will conduct an inspection and prepare an as-built report for record. 5. Upon final completion, inspection and receipt of the inspector's report, an information packet is mailed to the homeowner. This will include the original permit, the as-built compliance inspection report and information on how the homeowner can obtain good septic maintenance information. This information may be obtained from a publication produced by the U of M Extension Service Wastewater Resources website at: http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/naturalresources/DD6583.html#1.
