The study may also provide information about the current septic system located on the property.
There are no requirements that current septic systems meet any specific guidelines. The purpose of the report is for disclosure to potential buyers of the property. Further information about the site assessment study can be obtained from the NH Department of Environmental Services at 603-271-3711.
