Disclaimer: Nevada County is not able to provide recommendations for qualified professionals. This is not a complete list of every qualified professional in the area.

The intent of this list is solely to help our community members find a professional to perform soil testing and onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) design in Nevada County. You may hire any qualified professional in the State of California. Section L-VI 1.2 of the Nevada County Local Area Management Plan (LAMP) defines a qualified professional as a: Certified Engineering Geologist, Certified Professional Soil Scientist, Registered Civil Engineer, or Registered Environmental Health Specialist. If you would like to be added to this list, please submit your request in writing including preferred contact information and licenses and/or current registrations to Nevada County Department of Environmental Health, Attn: Land Use Program, PO Box 599002, 950 Maidu Ave, Nevada City, CA 95959 or by sending an email to Env.Health@co.nevada.ca.us.

Certified System Service Providers (CSSP)

Property owners with non-standard or treatment-type septic systems which were permitted on or after July 1, 1998, are required to perform annual maintenance and monitoring (M & M) of their systems. Also, property owners are required to record their M & M and the Right of Entry Agreement with the Department of Environmental Health. 

As a property owner, you need to select a qualified Certified System Service Provider (CSSP). Only a Certified System Service Provider (CSSP) may provide M & M services. A CSSP is a person or organization having received training and been tested and “certified” for specific systems. CSSPs may only conduct service on systems for which they are qualified or trained to maintain. (Reference: Nevada County LAMP, Effective 6/7/2018; Ordinance No. 2448)

NCDEH requires CSSPs to provide current evidence of education, training, certifications, and/or licenses and to pay the annual Board-approved registration fee. (The following list of CSSP was updated on 03/26/2021.)
