Jefferson County
Listed by where the business is, not by who it says it serves. Every operator here was on the ODH 2026 sewage treatment system bond lists on the date its record shows, and the address it is placed by comes from that same list, so this is a checkable claim rather than a service-area promise. An Ohio bond covers work in any health district in the state, though each district registers its contractors separately, so operators further out can work here too; these are simply the ones closest to you.

The USDA has already rated this ground for exactly one use: a septic tank absorption field. Within 4 miles of Bloomingdale — 32,043 acres across 110 soil map units — it rates 90.5% of the land very limited for that use and 1.1% somewhat limited, and almost none with no limitation at all.
A rating on its own tells you nothing you can act on. The reasons do, and around Bloomingdale the leading one is slope on 72.6% of the mapped area, followed by slow water movement on 57.9%. In full:
| Limiting feature | Share of area | What it means on site |
|---|---|---|
| Slope | 72.6% | The ground is too steep for a conventional field |
| Slow water movement | 57.9% | Water moves through the soil too slowly for a drain field to keep up |
| Depth to bedrock | 40.5% | Bedrock is too shallow to fit a trench above it |
| Unstable fill | 31.8% | — |
| Depth to saturated zone | 19.5% | A seasonal water table sits too close to the surface |
Shares overlap: most soils here are limited for more than one reason at once, so these do not sum to 91.6%.
The named soils and land types that make up most of the ground around Bloomingdale. Morristown alone accounts for 29.9% of it.
| Soil or land type | Share | Drainage | Slope | Depth to bedrock | Septic rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Morristown | 29.9% | Well drained | 0 to 70% | None in profile | Very limited |
| Berks | 14.4% | Well drained | 3 to 40% | 22 in | Very limited |
| Gilpin | 10.6% | Well drained | 2 to 25% | 20 in | Very limited |
| Guernsey | 9.5% | Moderately well drained | 2 to 40% | 50 in | Very limited |
| Lowell | 9% | Well drained | 1 to 65% | 42 in | Very limited |
“None in profile” means SSURGO records no bedrock or other restrictive layer within the depth it describes, not that none exists.
Area of interest: a 4-mile radius around the USGS Geographic Names centre point for Bloomingdale (GNIS 2398137, 40.3422, -80.8179), chosen because five of this state's communities are unincorporated and have no boundary to use, and because the lots that need a septic permit are in the ring around a town rather than inside it. Soil from USDA-NRCS Soil Data Access, SSURGO interpretation “ENG - Septic Tank Absorption Fields”, area-weighted by mapped acreage and by each component's share of its map unit. Survey areas: Harrison County, Ohio (2025-08-28), Jefferson County, Ohio (2025-09-02). Retrieved 2026-09-18.
This is a survey, not an evaluation of your lot. The permit decision rests on the site evaluation ODH carries out for the specific parcel.
In Jefferson County a septic (sewage treatment system) permit is issued by the local board of health, not by the state. The Ohio Department of Health writes the rules; the health district applies them and registers the contractors who work in it. See the Jefferson County detail →
