The LEA strongly recommends that all work be performed by a Licensed Contractor, although some work may be done by do-it-yourself property owners with prior LEA authorization. All work must meet LEA and Building Division requirements and pass inspection by the LEA. B. The septic tank must be pumped and certified empty by a Certified Septage Pumper. C. If the tank is to be destroyed in place and is greater than 5’ from any existing or future proposed structures, the person performing the work must ensure than the bottom of the tank is broken such that it is unable to hold water, and then filled with self-compacting soil, sand, or pea gravel. Should the person performing the work choose to fill the empty tank with 2-sack slurry, breaking the bottom of the tank is not required. Should the person performing the work choose to remove the tank, the excavation must be backfilled with clean self-compacting soil, sand, or pea-gravel. D. If the tank is less than 5’ from any existing or future proposed structures, a two-sack slurry mixture must be used to fill the tank; otherwise, a Professional Engineer must certify the destruction methodology utilized. E. Arrangements for inspection of the system destruction must be made with the LEA. In some instances, the Licensed Contractor may be able to submit electronic documentation of the destruction process in place of an on-site inspection. F. The person performing the work must submit the Declaration of Septic Tank Destruction form provided.
