Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Western North Carolina offers a unique blend of natural beauty and thriving communities. Whether you’re building a new home, developing land, or improving an existing property, a well-designed land plan and septic system is essential. At Land Resource Management PLLC, we specialize in septic system design and land development.
Understanding Septic Systems
A septic system is more than just an underground tank—it’s a crucial component of your property’s infrastructure. Proper design and installation ensure efficient wastewater treatment, protecting both your investment and the environment. Here’s a brief overview of how a septic system works:
Wastewater Collection: All the wastewater from your home flows into a septic tank.
Primary Treatment: In the septic tank, solids settle to the bottom while oils and grease float to the top, allowing the partially treated water to flow out into the drain field.
Secondary Treatment: The drain field further treats the wastewater by allowing it to percolate through the soil, where natural processes break down harmful bacteria and nutrients.
Often challenging soil, or lot constraints (creeks, topography, etc.), required alternative septic system design. Land Resource Management’s soil scientist is familiar with all the latest wastewater system technology and approvals. We routinely permit alternative septic systems utilizing the Engineered Option Permit and Authorized Onsite Wastewater Evaluator private permit routes.
Tailored Septic System Design
Designing an effective septic system requires a deep understanding of local regulations, soil conditions, and topography. Western North Carolina’s varied terrain—from mountainous areas to rolling hills and flatlands—demands customized solutions. Here are some key factors we consider in our design process:
Soil Testing: Understanding the soil type is crucial for determining the right system. We conduct percolation tests to assess how quickly soil absorbs water.
Site Evaluation: We evaluate the site’s topography, vegetation, and water table levels to ensure optimal placement and performance of the septic system.
Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to local health department regulations and environmental guidelines is paramount. We handle all the necessary permits and ensure your system meets or exceeds these standards.
