Effective immediately, the Health Department’s Onsite Sewage and Well Water Section will no longer conduct reviews of Infill Grading Plans (INFs) until an Onsite Sewage System Design (HOSSA) has been approved. This change is intended to streamline the review process and reduce the need for multiple re-reviews by our plan review staff.
If you have any questions regarding this process change, please contact the Health Department at HDEHD@fairfaxcounty.gov.
