James Backhoe Service, Inc. is proud to be the first company in Illinois to install and maintain an NPDES system — required when wastewater discharge enters the “Waters of the United States” as defined by the Clean Water Act.

Expert Credentials
An NPDES Permit (ILG62) can only be obtained after a NEHA Certified Installer confirms that a subsurface system isn’t feasible. This certification requires extensive training and a rigorous exam.
Our Vice President, Chris James, is one of only three Licensed NEHA Certified Installers in Illinois, bringing unmatched expertise to your project from site evaluation to final paperwork.

The Hydro-Action NPDES Advantage
Built by Septic Solutions, Inc. in Dieterich, IL, our Hydro-Action NPDES System is proven to meet all USEPA sampling requirements — something a standard Class 1 aerobic system can’t achieve.
Key features include:

• Advanced Class 1 Hydro-Action aerobic system as the foundation

• 500-gallon trash tank for additional waste separation

• Patent-pending Ultra-Violet system with a re-aeration unit to keep the UV light clean while boosting oxygen levels to meet BOD standards

• Smart control panel that runs the entire system, monitors UV bulb condition, and triggers alarms when cleaning is needed

• Optional pump tanks and controls integrated into the same panel
