Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does NDEP permit authority create key person risk?

Nevada Division of Environmental Protection permits for septic installation and repair are tied to licensed individuals. Without a properly licensed principal, the business cannot legally install or repair systems—creating immediate operational risk.

How should family-owned septic businesses plan for generational succession?

Multi-generational septic businesses benefit from early succession planning with life insurance. Policies can fund estate taxes, equalize inheritances among heirs, and provide liquidity for the next generation to buy out family members not involved in operations.
