leech beds or containment system.........you may want to wait til august the hotest month and redo the perk test.............your absorbtion rate. it can be overcome but the epa rules and regs are gonna cost you a sweet penny.

I figured as much. I know nothing about this, so I want to keep my cost at a minimum. The lot is priced to sell, but I don't want to get in over my head. |

All great advice. My father in law builds houses now and has to know someone who can test this lot for me before I spend the cash on the lot.
I'm going to look at it today. I wouldn't be building for a year until i move back here, so I have some time to get things squared away.

Call and ask one of the sewage enforcement officers listed on this pocono record page. They would give you the best advise.

Why would anyone want to find away around the perk test when it will only cause trouble later? I would want my lot to pass in any month of the year or I wouldn't touch it. The guy selling the lot is waiting for someone who doesn't know any better to buy it. Don't.
