- Authority
- Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Water Resources
- Who issues a permit
- the state, through the Division of Water Resources, except in a contract county where the county runs its own program
What to ask before you hire
- Whether the permit is current. Tennessee permits run out at the end of December each year.
- Whether it covers the kind of system you have. A mound or an aerobic unit is not the same permit as a conventional field.
- In Hamilton County, whether the county wants its own permit as well as the state one.
The exact certifications, the exam and the fees differ by state and they change. Check the current rules with Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Water Resources before you rely on any of it.
