OSDS Design Workshop
Due to recent regulatory changes and instruction from MDE, Baltimore County will be changing its practices for issuance of building permits for properties served by onsite sewage disposal systems (OSDS) and plumbing permits for installing OSDS.
Beginning July 1, the County will no longer be providing OSDS designs, but will provide minimum design criteria. Permit applications to install a new OSDS or repair an existing OSDS must be submitted by a licensed OSDS installer and include a design by a licensed OSDS Designer, as well as a site plan showing the proposed OSDS layout.
Attend the two-part virtual workshop on May 24 to learn how to design a conventional OSDS in accordance with state and County regulations, and how to prepare and submit an application in Baltimore County. This workshop is intended for:
- OSDS Installers and Designers
- Engineers
- Surveyors
- Builders
Instructor: Kevin Koepenick, LEHS, Manager, Ground Water Management (GWM)
