Licking County septic services.

Licking County closes a route the state rules leave open. The health department's household sewage treatment system factsheet states that aerators with discharge are no longer permitted to be installed for new homes in Licking County — so an off-lot discharging system is not an option on a new build here, even where the soil would otherwise push a designer towards one.

Long run (Superior High Quality Water, entire listed length); Lost run (Superior High Quality Water, entire listed length); Painter run (Superior High Quality Water, entire listed length). Ohio EPA's general permit for discharging household systems (OHK000004, Part II.C.2(e)) bars a new discharge to any of these, or to a tributary within one mile upstream. On those parcels the off-lot discharging route is closed and the system has to be a soil-absorption design, whatever the lot looks like.

The dominant constraint here is slope (24.1% of rated soils), followed by a highly permeable layer that may not filter effluent (19.2%).
