About soil and septic evaluations in Arkansas
Arkansas uses an ADH-certified Designated Representative, or DR, to perform percolation tests, prepare designs, and conduct inspections, subject to the Authorized Agent's final approval. A DR starts with a named professional qualification or the rule's similarly qualified path. The Soil Qualified DR sub-tier has passed the soils portion of ADH's testing procedure and is the only DR who may design a standard system from seasonal water table data. A regular DR may perform percolation testing and work within the authority ADH grants. ADH says the exam is offered four times yearly; registration costs the DR $100 annually, with annual approved training and continued competency required. Use ADH's Onsite Wastewater Licensees database and confirm Soil Qualified status if seasonal water table data will support the design.
Arkansas's reliable public numbers are state plan-review fees, not a DR's private charge. For an individual permit, the statewide schedule is $30 at 1,500 square feet or less, $45 above 1,500 through 2,000, $90 above 2,000 through 3,000, $120 above 3,000 through 4,000, and $150 above 4,000 square feet. Subdivision review has a separate schedule and is not the ordinary home fee. No named Arkansas DR provider checked published current pricing, so generic online ranges are not repeated. Request itemized quotes from two or three DRs in the state database and ask whether testing, design, return visits, inspection work, and filing help are included.
