The Ohio EPA 4309 form, a critical document issued by the State of Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, serves as a comprehensive tool for the application and approval process related to sanitary sewer system installations. This form, intricately designed to cover all facets of sanitary sewers’ construction and planning, is a testament to the agency's commitment to managing environmental considerations alongside developmental needs. The form captures essential details from the applicant, including the project's description—highlighting the location, size, and scope of the area to be served, and an assessment of future expansion possibilities. Furthermore, it delves into specifics such as pipe specifications, design flow, and the receiving wastewater treatment facility's capacity, aiming to ensure that the proposed system meets all regulatory and environmental standards. With sections dedicated to exploring the design of sewers, including their resistance to environmental challenges such as freezing, erosion, or impact at high velocities, the form provides a basis for evaluating the technical soundness of the proposed infrastructure. Additionally, it addresses crucial environmental protection measures, such as stream protection and the safeguarding of water supplies, reflecting the Ohio EPA’s overarching goal to preserve Ohio’s water resources while accommodating growth. By requiring detailed submissions regarding manhole design, installation and testing protocols, and stipulations for sewer use ordinance adherence, the document underscores the comprehensive approach needed to navigate the complexities of installing modern, safe, and environmentally sound sanitary sewer systems. As such, the Ohio EPA 4309 form stands as a pivotal document, meticulously guiding applicants through the rigorous process of securing permit-to-install approval, embodying the intersection of regulatory compliance, environmental stewardship, and infrastructural development.
