What does A.R.M., Inc. do?

Expand We are an Environmental Consulting Business, focusing on soils and wetlands related services.

What is Site Evaluation?

Expand A Site Evaluation is the first step in the process of siting a new or replacement OWTDS/Septic system. In Delaware, a Class D Soil Scientist supervises this process. Two to four soil borings are typically conducted per proposed OWTDS/septic area. These soil borings are excavated to a depth of at least 60 inches.

How long does the process of a Site Evaluation take?

Expand Typically, the process takes two to four weeks to DNREC submittal. Each site is unique, and the time frame is typically dependent upon site conditions and current work load. Should additional research be required for the site (example: well location(s), property boundaries), the time frame may need to be extended. DNREC may take up to two weeks to review the Site Evaluation.

How long is a Site Evaluation good for?

Expand Site evaluations expire after five years from the date of approval. (However,depending upon the watershed your property is located in, you may have to add an advanced treatment unit to your system on or after January 1, 2015).
