About soil and septic evaluations in Indiana
Indiana requires a professional soil scientist registered through its soil-scientist credentialing system. The Board of Registration for Soil Scientists is the licensing and disciplinary authority under IC 25-31.5 and is administered under the Natural Resources Commission. The Indiana Registry of Soil Scientists is the registry named by the health rule, and Purdue's Office of Indiana State Chemist hosts its public roster. IDOH neither licenses soil scientists nor operates the roster. Use the IRSS roster, start with its Available for Hire section, and confirm that the evaluator is a registered professional soil scientist whose registration number and signature will appear on the report. The cited rule does not establish that an associate may independently conduct and sign it.
Indiana-specific private pricing evidence is thin. Cool Soil Consulting in east-central Indiana published $650 for a standard residential evaluation and $1,300 for a residential moraine evaluation needing pit testing, with pit digging excluded. These are one operator's prices in one region, not a statewide range or average. The local construction permit is separate. Examples checked were $60 in Marshall County, $100 in Adams County, and $250 in Monroe County for new residential work; repair examples were $30 in Marshall and $150 in Monroe. Ask two or three IRSS registrants for itemized quotes covering travel, the report, county follow-up, excavation, and return visits, then ask the county for its current fee.
