Steps for OWTS Plan Check Review
  1. OWTS plan checks are initiated by directly emailing the Environmental Health Administrator.
  2. The Environmental Health Administrator will email an OWTS plan check checklist listing all required documents for submittal.
  3. A technical review will be conducted once all documents have been submitted and review fees have been paid.
  4. If corrections are issued, then a review letter will be sent to the applicant via email
  5. If there are no corrections, then the OWTS plans will be routed to applicable departments for review (Geology, Public Works, LA County Waterworks District 29, Coastal Engineering, Environmental Health, Planning)
  6. Once all departments have stamped the OWTS plans, Environmental Health will notify the applicant via email.
  7. Within one year of approval, a City-Registered OWTS Installer can schedule an appointment via the Building Permit Request Portal to pull the septic permit.
  8. An OWTS operating permit must be obtained prior to final inspection.
