End-to-End OSTDS Consulting

From raw land due diligence through final permit issuance, we manage every phase of the onsite sewage process so your project stays on schedule.

Site Suitability Evaluations

Comprehensive lot-level and parcel-wide assessments covering soil profiles, percolation rates, water table depth, topography, and setback compliance - everything DEP needs before they ask.

Soil Profile Analysis & Perc Testing

Certified soil evaluations including native soil morphology, permeability classification, and high-water table determination - the foundation of every approvable OSTDS design.

OSTDS Permitting & Compliance

Full-service permit application management for construction, repair, and operating permits under both DEP (Chapter 62-6 FAC) and county health authority jurisdiction. We know the reviewers - and what it takes to get approved.

Subdivision & Community Onsite Systems

Large-scale OSTDS planning for residential subdivisions, planned unit developments, and rural communities. We design wastewater strategies for entire lots before a single shovel breaks ground.

Land Due Diligence & Feasibility

Pre-purchase and pre-entitlement assessments that tell you whether a parcel can support the density you need. Avoid costly surprises before you close.

Regulatory & Agency Liaison

Direct engagement with DEP and county health authority reviewers on your behalf. Pre-application meetings, variance requests, and appeals - we speak the language of the agencies that approve your projects.

From Feasibility to Final Permit

We manage the full OSTDS lifecycle so your team can focus on building. Here’s how a typical project flows through our process.

Step 01

Project Intake & Scoping

We review site plans, parcel data, and project goals to define the scope and flag any early regulatory considerations.

Step 02

Site Evaluation & Soil Testing

Certified soil profile analysis and percolation testing across the parcel. We document everything DEP requires for the evaluation package.

Step 03

OSTDS System Design

Drainfield layout, system sizing, and technology selection based on soil findings, lot constraints, and project density.

Step 04

Permit Application & Agency Review

We prepare and submit the complete permitting package and manage all back-and-forth with DEP or county health reviewers through approval.

Step 05

Permit Issuance & Construction Support

Final permit in hand. We stay available for field questions, inspection coordination, and any as-built documentation required.

The Advantage of Insider Knowledge

We’ve sat on both sides of the permit desk. That changes everything about how we prepare and manage your projects.

01

Deep Regulatory Relationships

Direct working relationships with DEP and county health reviewers built over two decades in public environmental health service.

02

Complete Permit Packages, First Time

We know what reviewers reject and why. Our applications are thorough and organized - reducing back-and-forth and keeping your timeline intact.

03

Subdivision-Scale Capacity

From single-lot evaluations to full subdivision wastewater planning across dozens of parcels, we have the field capacity and process to deliver at scale.

04

Single Point of Contact

No call centers, no junior staff runaround. You work directly with experienced professionals who know your project from day one.
