Permits

Who issues them here.

Your township or borough

40 municipalities run their own Act 537 programme here

Under Act 537 a municipality may administer on-lot permits itself, through its own certified Sewage Enforcement Officer. These do — so the application, the fee and the inspection come from your own township or borough office rather than a county department:

Archbald Borough · Benton Township · Blakely Borough · Carbondale City · Carbondale Township · Clarks Green Borough · Clarks Summit Borough · Clifton Township · Covington Township · Dalton Borough · Dickson City Borough · Dunmore Borough · Elmhurst Township · Fell Township · Glenburn Township · Greenfield Township · Jefferson Township · Jermyn Borough · Jessup Borough · La Plume Township · Madison Township · Mayfield Borough · Moosic Borough · Moscow Borough · Newton Township · North Abington Township · Old Forge Borough · Olyphant Borough · Ransom Township · Roaring Brook Township · Scott Township · Scranton City · South Abington Township · Spring Brook Township · Taylor Borough · Thornhurst Township · Throop Borough · Vandling Borough · Waverly Township · West Abington Township

Permit fees, forms & process

Any new system or major repair in Lackawanna County needs a permit before construction starts. This county’s full guide is still in production — the authority contact shown here is the official source in the meantime.

Local rules

What’s different in Lackawanna County.

Four things decide what you can build and what it costs: zoning, environmental protections, power for aerobic systems, and the ground itself. We publish each one only where we have checked it — and say so plainly where the answer is “same as the rest of Pennsylvania”.

Zoning & land use

Lackawanna County's planning department puts it in one sentence: all 40 of the county's municipalities administer their own subdivision and land development regulations, and they are the final approving authority. The county's regional planning commission reviews plans for 30 days and comments; it cannot approve or refuse one. DEP's service tabulation agrees on sewage, listing all 40 municipalities as running their own Act 537 programme.

Environmental protections

Lackawanna County has no Exceptional Value waters, but 6 entries on DEP's Chapter 93 drainage lists are High Quality — including Lackawanna River, Aylesworth Creek, Grassey Island Creek. A lot draining to one loses the § 71.51(b) planning exemption, so the sewage module goes to the municipality and then to DEP. That is a second reviewer, not a different septic system. Check your own stream before assuming the ordinary path.

Geology & soil

The dominant constraint here is slow-percolating subsoil below 12 inches (78.4% of rated soils), followed by a seasonal high water table (61.7%). NRCS rates 99.5% of rated ground very limited for a conventional in-ground trench, 86.3% for a sand mound and 65.1% for drip irrigation -- where conventional is out, drip is often the system that works.
