- 2. Use the correct form. File on the official state form when one exists; otherwise use the form the local approving authority accepts.
- 3. Document the system. Tank, distribution, drainfield and dated photos, captured in the field so the report is complete on site.
- 4. Sign and certify. Include the inspector name, license number and title on the certification line.
- 5. Deliver and retain. Send the report to every required recipient and keep your copy per state record-keeping rules.
