Site work and earth work is generally referred to as the movement and preparation of the soil. This includes your initial pushing and moving of the soil to create flat/level working surface. Once the initial excavation, grading and compaction work is finished which includes your home pad, and main driveway onto the pad. Then the underground work can be performed. Your underground work ranges from septic and sewer systems to well and water systems along with filtration systems and other utilities.
Permits for Excavation Work
Depending on the county you are located in will depend on which grading permits you need to pull, if any. Often times on smaller projects, you may not need to pull a permit. For example, if you are looking for side yard work that can be accomplished with a small backhoe, skid steer or skip loader, then the odds of needing a permit are unlikley. If however, you are looking to cut a driveway on or into a 10 acre parcel, then you may need a permit. Permits are required on larger projects to meet and comply with Storm Water Management Plan, California Fire Safe Standards, your Counties Zoning Ordinance and the California Building Code.
Grading Permits (Roads, Home Pads, Etc.)
You may be elgable for a Grading Permit Exemption. You may be exempt if the grading, excavation or demolition would create a cut or fill that could potentially endanger any structure intended for human or animal occupancy, threaten the stability of any public road, or obstruct any watercourse or drainage conduit.
Well Water Permits
Well water permits are required for the construction, destruction, deepening, and repair of a water well. Although we are not drillers – we have worked directly with drillers in order to follow the California Water Well Standards, Bulletin 74-81 and supplements, developed by the California Department of Water Resources. These standards need to followed in order to meet the building requirements. We have assisted in many well diggings throughout the Northern California area. Often times wells are needed in remote areas and we provide the grading in order to reach that wells desired location. If you are a Licensed Well Drillers or looking for a Licensed Well Drillers, we can help get you to the location you need in order to get your well drilled.
New Sewage Disposal System Approval (Septic Tanks)
The process of adding a septic tank in one of these counties is fairly simple.
First, you apply for a permit. You start with an application that asks questions about the property, home square footage, rooms, zoning, and more information. There is usually an application fee that goes along with the process.
Then you have your percolation test (perc test) by the state / county (El Dorado, Sacramento or Placer). The perc test is to determine the soil composition in order to determine how quickly/efficiently your leach field will drain out into the earth. If your leach field won’t drain – the whole system will back up into your home.
Finally, you either get approved or denied a permit and once the tank is installed, you will have a final inspection will the tank is fully exposed.
