In reference to some\u00a0state regulations, a distance of 15 feet between foundation and septic tank is required if the home has a basement while the <a href=\"http:\/\/legendaryhomesinc.com\/blog\"><strong>Uniform Plumbing Code<\/strong><\/a> recommends a standard distance of 10 feet.<\/p>\n<h3>Distance of the Septic Tank to the Modular Home<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Environmental Protection Agency<\/strong>\u00a0regulations require the septic tank be located a minimum of 50 feet away from any water-supply well. In many areas, this same minimum distance is required for streams, ponds, lakes or springs. Most septic tanks are buried 12 to 24 inches below the surface. General guidelines are tanks must be buried at least 6 inches below the surface.<\/p>\n<h3>Design of the Septic System for a Modular Home<\/h3>\n<p>Counties are being encouraged in most states to create standard rules and regulations for the design of septic systems of a <strong>modular home<\/strong>.\u00a0 This often allows for the licensing of designers who specialize in septic design and hold state or county licenses.\u00a0 In some places on the other hand\u00a0only\u00a0professional engineers are allowed to submit designs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #5f5f5f\">In case you still have question about modular homes, you may contact\u00a0<a style=\"color: blue\" href=\"http:\/\/legendaryhomesinc.com\/ModularHomePrices\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Legendary Homes Inc<\/a>\u00a0in Jackson, Michigan.
