RE: Requiring final scale drawing, also known as "as-built"
As discussed during our meeting of this morning, we have had problems of receiving the final
scale or "as-built" drawing in a timely manner from some installers and designers.
I recommend we implement the following procedures to help correct this problem:
1. Inform the OSSF professionals that we will be requiring a final scale drawing, or "as-
built", reflecting the actual installation of a septic system for the purpose of providing the
property owner with a means of locating the key components of the system once it is
baekfilled, if the installation differs from what appears on the original planning materials.
Title 30, TAC, §285.62 (11) clearly requires the Designated Representative to only
approve installations that conform to the notice of approval; and §285.61. (8) requires
installers to stop construction and return to the permitting authority to change the
planning materials for the permit if the site or soil conditions, materials, or supplies make
the compliance with planning materials impossible.
2. We prefer to receive the as-built drawing prior to scheduling the final inspection or at the
time of the final inspection.
3. If the final drawing or other required paperwork that is requested at the time of the final
inspection is not received within 10 days of the final inspection, a written notice will be
sent to the homeowner advising them of what is needed to complete their file.
4. If the final drawing is not received from the installer or designer within 30 days from the
final inspection, we will not release any authorizations to construct to an installer having
an outstanding "as-built.
Please let me know if you have any questions or wish to discuss this further.

Patricia S. "Tish" Hulett
