What is an essential step right after submitting for a permit in the OSSF process?

The essential step right after submitting for a permit in the On-Site Sewage Facilities (OSSF) process is the review of the permit application. This review is crucial as it ensures that all submitted information meets the required standards and regulations for the installation of on-site sewage facilities. During this stage, relevant authorities assess the application to confirm that it complies with local health and safety codes, zoning laws, and environmental regulations. This step is necessary to prevent any potential issues that could arise later in the process, such as inadequate design, unsuitable site conditions, or environmental hazards.

Once the review is satisfactorily completed, it may lead to additional actions such as site evaluations or public notifications, but the review acts as the pivotal moment for determining whether the application can proceed to these subsequent phases.
