Individual Sewage Disposal Systems Onsite regulations for Nevada were last updated in 1992. Regulations are currently under revision and all sections are expected to be revised within the next year. Nevada considers denitrification systems as an innovative technology. Aerobic treatment units (ATUs), alternative soil absorption designs, mounds, sand filters, and denitrification systems are currently approved on a case-by-case basis; however, they will be added to the regulations. Gravelless/Chamber systems have been adopted under the Uniform Plumbing Code. Nevada requires National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) or State of Nevada Department of Human Resources Health Division (Nevada State Health Division) approval for innovative and alternative technologies; however, NSF approval is preferred. Permit fees for individual systems are $100 for residential systems and $200 for commercial systems. Concerning certification and license programs for contractors, contact: State Contractors Board The counties and the Nevada State Health Division administer onsite septic/liquid waste regulations. The State oversees the counties with Building Departments, and counties with Health Districts administer their own respective programs. The Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP) administers municipal and industrial waste regulations. The NDEP reviews plans for large municipal septic systems over 5000 gallons/day. The Nevada State Health Division reviews plans for systems under 5000 gallons/day. Contact Mr. Jimmy Williams for further information at: NDEP |
