Site Information

• Street Address: Properties without a street address enter "NHN" which stands for "no house number". If there is an adjacent street, water body, or named trail add the name behind "NHN"
• Legal Description: If a property has been subdivided, enter the subdivision name including additions and phases. If property has not been subdivided, users do not need to enter a "Lot", "Block" and "Tract" as these fields are not applicable
• Subdivision Name including Additions and Phases:
• For Alaska State Land Surveys enter "ASLS" followed by the survey number within this field. Example ASLS 79-250
• For US Surveys enter "USS" followed by the survey number within this field. Example USS 2408
• To enter a plat number, add this behind the name of the subdivision
• GPS Coordinates: should be taken within the soil absorption system

Note: The "quadrant" is determined by the Township and Range. For example "Township 5 North, Range 4 West" is in the NW quadrant.

• Peak wastewater flow (gpd): Is applicable for all installations. For private residences and multi-family dwellings, flow is determined by number of bedrooms multiplied by 150
• For all commercial facilities: comments/criteria used to size commercial facility: calculations may be attached in the "attachment" section. If attached as a separate document, please indicate this. For questions regarding peak commercial wastewater flows, please work with the local DEC office nearest the proposed project
• System Installation Date: Projects installed over multiple days, please select the date that the project was completed

Separation Distance

• Separation distances: Must be listed to the nearest half foot, and cannot be listed as “100+”, ">100", etc. In all cases, if the actual separation distance is known it must be listed. Google maps or other GIS based maps can be used to determine separation distances, within reasonable accuracy, to features that are located more than 1.5x the regulatory requirement.
