Inspection Fund Advisory Board · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

This item concerns proposed changes to regulations regarding drainfield systems and their placement within floodplains, specifically near rivers and streams. The proposal addresses the use of fill or mounding to elevate drainfield systems out of the 10-year floodplain. It also outlines requirements for owners of aerobic treatment unit systems, including mandatory maintenance service agreements with permitted entities and regular inspections. This matter is currently under review by the Inspection Fund Advisory Board. The potential work could involve site preparation, grading, and the installation of specialized drainage and wastewater treatment systems. Contractors specializing in site prep, grading, concrete, plumbing, and HVAC, along with suppliers of construction materials and maintenance services for aerobic treatment units, may find opportunities. Early engagement with the process could provide an advantage as plans and permits are developed.
