Hoot Advanced Septic Systems in Butte County
From the Valley Floor to the Ridge
We supply, start up and service Hoot advanced treatment systems for Butte County properties, from Chico, Durham and Oroville to the Paradise ridge, Magalia and the foothill communities.
Septic Challenges in Butte County
Butte County spans valley parcels with high groundwater and hardpan to foothill and ridge properties with shallow, rocky soils. Either set of conditions can make a conventional leach field hard to site.
A Hoot system does most of the treatment in the tank, so the dispersal area can often be smaller and more flexible, a real advantage for rebuilds and replacements on constrained lots.
Rebuilding or replacing a system? Before you commit to a design, call us for a free Hoot suitability consultation. We’ll help you understand whether advanced treatment fits your site.
How Butte County Regulates Advanced Septic Systems
Onsite wastewater systems in unincorporated Butte County are permitted by the Butte County Public Health Department’s Environmental Health Division, under the Butte County Onsite Wastewater Ordinance and Manual (the county’s LAMP).
- The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board approved Butte County’s LAMP in 2016.
- Butte County’s onsite wastewater ordinance includes a dedicated operating permit chapter for systems that need ongoing oversight.
- Under the State OWTS Policy, systems with supplemental treatment are subject to ongoing monitoring and inspection requirements.
- Every Hoot in California requires a lifetime Operation & Maintenance (O&M) agreement, which we provide.
Rules change and every parcel is different. Confirm current requirements with the county (Butte County Environmental Health), and call us with questions. We’ve worked with California county environmental health departments since 2006.
