ABOUT DD — DUSTIN DIETZMAN / ACERCA DE DD — DUSTIN DIETZMAN
English
Dustin Dietzman is a regional leader in construction and septic infrastructure across the South Puget Sound and the coast — an industry teacher as much as a field hand. On behalf of A Advanced Services, he teaches realtors across Washington how septic records, inspections, and property transfers work — and in the field, he does the work itself, season after season.
His ground is the ground his family has worked for generations. His grandfather, Donald Robert Potter — an enrolled Quinault tribal member with land rights across three nations — held properties throughout Pierce County and hundreds of acres on the Quinault Reservation. The family lived in the Puyallup Valley; Donald had homes up on South Hill in Puyallup, and the family's history runs the length of that hill, all the way out to Eatonville. Dustin has come full circle — he lives and works from that same hill today, running territories his grandfather knew.
When the White River rises over Pacific, season after season, he is on site. He watches the sensitive ground others miss — Grays Harbor and Aberdeen, the river valleys, and south to Tijuana, where the waters connect.
His concern for this industry was deepened in Mexico. He has made the trips and been down there during one of the floods, seeing the needs of the Gulf of America and Mexico's West Coast with his own eyes — and the advantages and disadvantages of not working together across that line. It is why he created this bilingual site, and why he has taken this industry on at a more progressive level.
Through DD — Advanced Infrastructure — he publishes his gauge page for the industry and runs a bilingual watch so the legal migrant community working this ground is never left out of the information. English and Spanish, side by side, like the crews themselves.
That hill is memory made ground: Donald used to point to it long before the 512 freeway ran beneath it. Good Samaritan Hospital, in this same city, is where Dustin was born — and where his grandfather passed. Part of Dustin's legacy is written here: working infrastructure across this area, these zones, and leading in this industry to the best of his ability.
DD is not a newcomer standing on new ground. It is the next generation, standing exactly where the family has always stood — working for the generations coming behind.
That is what this app is for — getting ahead of the game. Preparation. Technology stepping in where it is needed. And partners like Ensentech LLC, who came on board because they see the same need — ready with fill along that riverbed before the water rises, not after.
Español
Dustin Dietzman es un líder regional en construcción e infraestructura séptica en el sur de Puget Sound y la costa — un maestro de la industria tanto como un trabajador de campo. En nombre de A Advanced Services, enseña a agentes de bienes raíces en todo Washington cómo funcionan los registros sépticos, las inspecciones y las transferencias de propiedades — y en el campo, él mismo hace el trabajo, temporada tras temporada.
Su terreno es el terreno que su familia ha trabajado por generaciones. Su abuelo, Donald Robert Potter — miembro tribal inscrito de Quinault, con derechos de tierra en tres naciones — tuvo propiedades en todo el Condado de Pierce y cientos de acres en la Reserva Quinault. La familia vivió en el Valle de Puyallup; Donald tuvo casas arriba en South Hill, en Puyallup, y la historia de la familia corre a lo largo de esa colina, hasta Eatonville. Dustin ha cerrado el círculo — hoy vive y trabaja desde esa misma colina, recorriendo territorios que su abuelo conoció.
Cuando el río White se levanta sobre Pacific, temporada tras temporada, él está en el sitio. Vigila el terreno sensible que otros no ven — Grays Harbor y Aberdeen, los valles de los ríos, y hacia el sur hasta Tijuana, donde las aguas se conectan.
Su preocupación por esta industria se profundizó en México. Ha hecho los viajes y ha estado allá durante una de las inundaciones, viendo con sus propios ojos las necesidades del Golfo de América y la costa oeste de México — y las ventajas y desventajas de no trabajar juntos a través de esa línea. Es por eso que él creó este sitio bilingüe, y por eso ha tomado esta industria a un nivel más progresivo.
A través de DD — Advanced Infrastructure — publica su página de medidores para la industria y mantiene una vigilancia bilingüe para que la comunidad migrante legal que trabaja este terreno nunca quede fuera de la información. Inglés y español, lado a lado, como las mismas cuadrillas.
Esa colina es memoria hecha tierra: Donald la señalaba mucho antes de que la autopista 512 corriera a sus pies. El Hospital Good Samaritan, en esta misma ciudad, es donde nació Dustin — y donde falleció su abuelo. Parte del legado de Dustin está escrito aquí: trabajar la infraestructura en toda esta área, estas zonas, y liderar en esta industria lo mejor que pueda.
DD no es un recién llegado parado en terreno nuevo. Es la próxima generación, parada exactamente donde la familia siempre ha estado — trabajando para las generaciones que vienen detrás.
Para eso es esta aplicación — ir adelante del juego. Preparación. Tecnología que entra donde se necesita. Y socios como Ensentech LLC, que se subieron a bordo porque ven la misma necesidad — listos con relleno a lo largo de ese lecho del río antes de que el agua suba, no después.

English
Angel Potter's history in this industry is deep — and it runs long before this app. At Mac Septic Service, she spent years working with realtors and OEMs — the time frames, the reports, and the calls that keep a system and a sale on track.
In those years the records were hand-typed, and she kept them — typed by hand, filed, and ready when a realtor or a buyer needed the history. She also ran dispatch, sending crews where the work was, and she ran her own portable-toilet side business alongside it.
Her ground work carried into the Pacific valley: county committee work there in 2007, and re-engineering properties for Bob Mader. Her pollution liability work covered underground storage tanks. And as a tri-nation land trustee, she brings a firsthand understanding of sensitive lands — which ground can take the work, and which ground has to be handled with care.
That is the history standing behind this side of the app — gathered here in one place. AI Ángel, his assistant, helps route ideas, drafts, and watch notes to Angel on this app. Angel Potter, his mother, is the person to reach.
Español
La historia de Angel Potter en esta industria es profunda — y viene de mucho antes de esta aplicación. En Mac Septic Service, pasó años trabajando con agentes de bienes raíces (realtors) y fabricantes (OEMs) — los plazos, los informes y las llamadas que mantienen un sistema y una venta en marcha.
En esos años los registros se escribían a máquina a mano, y ella los mantuvo así — escritos a mano, archivados y listos cuando un realtor o un comprador necesitaba el historial. También llevaba el despacho (dispatch), enviando a las cuadrillas a donde estaba el trabajo, y a la vez llevaba su propio negocio paralelo de baños portátiles.
Su trabajo en el terreno siguió en el valle de Pacific: trabajo en el comité del condado allí en 2007, y la re-ingeniería de propiedades para Bob Mader. Su trabajo en seguros de responsabilidad por contaminación cubría los tanques subterráneos de almacenamiento. Y como fideicomisaria de tierras de tres naciones, aporta una comprensión de primera mano de las tierras sensibles — qué terreno puede recibir el trabajo, y qué terreno hay que tratar con cuidado.
Esa es la historia que respalda este lado de la aplicación — reunida aquí en un solo lugar. AI Ángel, su asistente, ayuda a dirigir ideas, borradores y notas de vigilancia a Angel en esta aplicación. Angel Potter, su madre, es la persona a quien contactar.

FLOOD SEASON: PACIFIC & THE WHITE RIVER VALLEY (NOVEMBER–FEBRUARY)
This valley floods every year. When the ground saturates, septic systems stop accepting water. Watch for rising river levels and standing water over your drainfield. Conserve water during floods, never pump into floodwater, and call for service early — before the system backs up.
TEMPORADA DE INUNDACIONES: PACIFIC Y EL VALLE DEL RÍO WHITE (NOVIEMBRE–FEBRERO). Este valle se inunda cada año. Cuando el suelo se satura, los sistemas sépticos dejan de aceptar agua. Vigila el nivel del río y el agua estancada sobre tu campo de drenaje. Ahorra agua durante las inundaciones, nunca bombees hacia el agua de inundación, y llama temprano por servicio — antes de que el sistema se tape.

GRAYS HARBOR & ABERDEEN — SENSITIVE GROUND
High water and sensitive soils mean systems here fail quietly in wet months. Keep records of every pump and inspection, and get ahead of problems before the rains.
GRAYS HARBOR Y ABERDEEN — TERRENO SENSIBLE. El agua alta y los suelos sensibles hacen que los sistemas fallen en silencio en los meses lluviosos. Guarda el registro de cada bombeo e inspección, y adelántate a los problemas antes de las lluvias.

NEW WASHINGTON RULE — FEBRUARY 1, 2027
Selling a home with a septic system? Under Washington rule WAC 246-272A-0270, sellers must hand buyers their maintenance and repair records, with an inspection by an authorized inspector. Your service history becomes money at sale — keep every record. Realtors and builders: plan transfer inspections ahead — records ready means sales that close.
NUEVA REGLA DE WASHINGTON — 1 DE FEBRERO DE 2027. ¿Vendes una casa con sistema séptico? Bajo la regla WAC 246-272A-0270, el vendedor debe entregar al comprador sus registros de mantenimiento y reparación, con una inspección de un inspector autorizado. Tu historial de servicio se convierte en dinero al vender — guarda cada registro. Agentes de bienes raíces y constructores: planifiquen las inspecciones de transferencia con tiempo — registros listos significan ventas que se cierran.

Property transfer · Selling & closing
Home sales, ready for the new septic rule.
Starting February 1, 2027, Washington requires a septic inspection when a home changes hands. Realtors sign in here to check listing readiness, request inspections, follow updates, and hand buyers a complete records packet.
New statewide rule — effective Feb. 1, 2027
Sellers must hand buyers every available septic maintenance and repair record, and the transfer inspection must be completed by an authorized inspector. If a qualifying inspection is already on file, the county can accept it instead of ordering a new one — a documented service history is what keeps a closing on track.

SAN DIEGO — TIJUANA RIVER / SAN DIEGO — RÍO TIJUANA
October 12 — A federal ATSDR draft report finds Tijuana River sewage contributing to harmful regional air pollution (hydrogen sulfide), with short spikes above short-term-illness thresholds near an elementary school in September 2024; no long-term damage is expected at the levels measured, and a water-and-soil report follows.
12 de octubre — Un informe preliminar federal de la ATSDR encuentra que las aguas residuales del río Tijuana contribuyen a la contaminación dañina del aire regional (sulfuro de hidrógeno), con picos cortos por encima de los niveles de enfermedad a corto plazo cerca de una escuela primaria en septiembre de 2024; no se espera daño a largo plazo con los niveles medidos, y seguirá un informe de agua y suelo.
September 30 — EPA quarterly update: the Parallel Gravity Line is complete, Phase 2 of the Tijuana River Gates is under construction, the first major South Bay treatment-plant expansion contract is awarded, and about 16,600 feet of river channel were cleared ahead of a forecast strong El Niño winter.

PUBLIC HEALTH WATCH — SHIGELLA / VIGILANCIA DE SALUD PÚBLICA — SHIGELLA
CDC is tracking a rise in extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Shigella — 8.5% of tested samples in its April 2026 report; of the nation's roughly 450,000 Shigella infections a year, about 242,000 are drug-resistant. Shigella spreads when fecal matter reaches the mouth — person to person, through contaminated food, and by swallowing contaminated water — and it thrives where sanitation and hygiene access fail. On the West Coast, Portland's Multnomah County has fought recurring outbreaks since 2015, concentrated where people lack housing and sanitation. National diagnosed totals are steady — 13,921 in 2026 through September 26, on par with last year — the rising danger is drug resistance, not raw numbers.
Los CDC vigilan un aumento de Shigella extensamente resistente a los medicamentos (XDR): 8.5% de las muestras analizadas en su informe de abril de 2026; de las aproximadamente 450,000 infecciones anuales de Shigella en el país, unas 242,000 son resistentes a los medicamentos. La Shigella se propaga cuando materia fecal llega a la boca — de persona a persona, por alimentos contaminados y al tragar agua contaminada — y prospera donde fallan el saneamiento y el acceso a la higiene. En la Costa Oeste, el condado de Multnomah, en Portland, ha enfrentado brotes recurrentes desde 2015, concentrados donde la gente carece de vivienda y saneamiento. Los totales nacionales diagnosticados están estables — 13,921 en 2026 hasta el 26 de septiembre, a la par del año pasado —: el peligro creciente es la resistencia a los medicamentos, no las cifras brutas.
INDUSTRY BRIEF — OCTOBER 22, 2026
INFORME DE LA INDUSTRIA — 22 DE OCTUBRE DE 2026
Fresh items gathered for Dustin since the October 21 block — what changed in the industry, and what it means for this Watch.
Novedades reunidas para Dustin desde el bloque del 21 de octubre — qué cambió en la industria, y qué significa para esta Vigilancia.
Washington setbacks rolled back (Oct 1). The State Board of Health returned setbacks near drinking-water surface water to 100 ft from drainfield/reserve and 50 ft from tanks and distribution boxes under WAC 246-272A — design and repair work on tight near-water lots that the 2024 increases squeezed is back in play.
Retroceso de distancias en Washington (1 de oct.). La Junta Estatal de Salud volvió a poner las distancias cerca de agua superficial potable en 100 pies desde el campo de drenaje/reserva y 50 pies desde tanques y cajas de distribución bajo WAC 246-272A — el trabajo de diseño y reparación en lotes ajustados cerca del agua, que los aumentos de 2024 apretaron, vuelve a estar en juego.
Skagit County fees up (reported Oct 21–22). The environmental health hourly rate jumps from $135 to $195 for septic, food safety, and drinking-water services — county OSS costs are climbing county by county, a budgeting line for homeowners planning inspections.
Suben las tarifas del condado de Skagit (reportado 21–22 de oct.). La tarifa por hora de salud ambiental sube de $135 a $195 para servicios sépticos, de seguridad alimentaria y de agua potable — los costos de sistemas en sitio suben condado por condado, un dato para el presupuesto de los propietarios que planean inspecciones.
At sale, DIY does not count in Pierce County (background, July 2026). The county's DIY homeowner inspection path expressly does not cover the Report of System Status when a home is sold — a certified professional is still required. The county counts about 92,300 permitted septic systems.
Al vender, el “hágalo usted mismo” no cuenta en el condado de Pierce (antecedente, julio de 2026). La vía de inspección por el propio propietario expresamente no cubre el Informe de Estado del Sistema cuando se vende una casa — sigue requiriéndose un profesional certificado. El condado cuenta unas 92,300 sistemas sépticos con permiso.
Competitor and consolidation. Septic Solutions LLC of Arlington, WA is already marketing readiness for the Feb 1, 2027 transfer rule, and on Oct 12 AQUALIS, a national water-infrastructure firm, acquired Full Circle Environmental Services — recurring inspection and maintenance contracts are exactly what national buyers are paying for. Documented history is becoming the sale-time product for roughly 950,000 Washington septic households.
Competencia y consolidación. Septic Solutions LLC de Arlington, WA ya está promocionando la preparación para la regla de transferencia del 1 de feb. de 2027, y el 12 de oct. AQUALIS, una firma nacional de infraestructura de agua, adquirió Full Circle Environmental Services — los contratos recurrentes de inspección y mantenimiento son exactamente lo que los compradores nacionales están pagando. El historial documentado se está convirtiendo en el producto al momento de vender para unas 950,000 viviendas sépticas de Washington.
San Diego names its first Pollution Crisis Chief (Oct 19). Bridget Premont — former political/economic chief at the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana, who helped secure $340M+ in U.S. and Mexican funding — started Oct 19, chairing a Sewage Crisis Interdepartmental Task Force and building a public funding dashboard, with bilingual information campaigns in her portfolio.
San Diego nombra a su primera Jefa de Crisis de Contaminación (19 de oct.). Bridget Premont — exjefa política/económica del Consulado de EE. UU. en Tijuana, quien ayudó a asegurar más de $340 millones en fondos de EE. UU. y México — empezó el 19 de oct., presidiendo un Grupo Interdepartamental de Crisis de Aguas Residuales y construyendo un tablero público de fondos, con campañas bilingües de información en su cartera.
CESPT works, Tijuana side. CESPT is finishing the Ensenada collector rehabilitation the week of Oct 20, and reports cleaning/desilting 22 collectors and subcollectors and protective work at 19 strategic installations across Tijuana and Rosarito ahead of El Niño rains.
Obras de CESPT, lado de Tijuana. CESPT está terminando la rehabilitación del colector Ensenada la semana del 20 de oct., y reporta la limpieza/desazolve de 22 colectores y subcolectores y trabajo de protección en 19 instalaciones estratégicas en Tijuana y Rosarito ante las lluvias de El Niño.
Technology watch. A LoRaWAN tank-level sensor built for pump-out alerts (Trackpac TEK 766, Oct 16 — UK/EU pricing only, flagged); a lift-station telemetry unit deployed (Consta Flow, Oct 15 — company press release, flagged); and Tohoku University researchers using AI plus wastewater DNA to predict pipe corrosion (Oct 16).
Vigilancia tecnológica. Un sensor de nivel de tanque LoRaWAN hecho para alertas de bombeo (Trackpac TEK 766, 16 de oct. — precios solo de Reino Unido/UE, señalado); una unidad de telemetría para estaciones de bombeo desplegada (Consta Flow, 15 de oct. — comunicado de prensa de la compañía, señalado); e investigadores de la Universidad de Tohoku usando IA más ADN de aguas residuales para predecir la corrosión de tuberías (16 de oct.).
Winter outlook (NOAA, Oct 15). A very strong El Niño favors a warmer Pacific Northwest this winter — for Pacific and the White River, the risk to carry is rain and atmospheric rivers, not snow. Checked Oct 22: White River / Pacific stays quiet through Halloween, with light showers Oct 24–25 and no alerts in effect.
Pronóstico de invierno (NOAA, 15 de oct.). Un El Niño muy fuerte favorece un Pacífico Noroeste más cálido este invierno — para Pacific y el río White, el riesgo a vigilar es la lluvia y los ríos atmosféricos, no la nieve. Revisado el 22 de oct.: el río White / Pacific se mantiene tranquilo hasta Halloween, con lluvias ligeras el 24–25 de oct. y sin alertas vigentes.

FIELD SAFETY WATCH
VIGILANCIA DE SEGURIDAD EN CAMPO
The first people on the ground are the ones who meet the risk first. County developers and septic crews are often the first to open, check, and work around underground storage tanks and septic tanks — before anyone else sees what is in the ground.
Las primeras personas en el terreno son las que se encuentran primero con el riesgo. Los desarrolladores del condado y las cuadrillas sépticas suelen ser los primeros en abrir, revisar y trabajar alrededor de tanques subterráneos de almacenamiento y tanques sépticos — antes de que nadie más vea lo que hay en el suelo.
That work carries contamination and biohazard risk: sewage exposure, gases that build up inside tanks, and contaminated soil and water around failing systems. Treat every tank, and every saturated or suspect site, as a hazard until it has been checked.
Ese trabajo conlleva riesgo de contaminación y riesgo biológico: exposición a aguas residuales, gases que se acumulan dentro de los tanques, y suelo y agua contaminados alrededor de sistemas que fallan. Traten cada tanque, y cada sitio saturado o sospechoso, como un peligro hasta que haya sido revisado.
THE MONITORING LEVEL ON THIS WATCH / EL NIVEL DE MONITOREO EN ESTA VIGILANCIA
This Watch carries a standing level of monitoring for that risk: at every tank and underground-storage-tank check, conditions are noted the same day — what was seen, standing water, contamination signs, and exposure concerns — anything unsafe is flagged up the same day, not at the end of the week, and the site stays on the Watch until it is cleared.
Esta Vigilancia lleva un nivel permanente de monitoreo para ese riesgo: en cada revisión de tanque y de tanque subterráneo de almacenamiento, las condiciones se anotan el mismo día — lo que se vio, agua estancada, señales de contaminación y preocupaciones de exposición —; todo lo inseguro se reporta el mismo día, no al final de la semana, y el sitio permanece en la Vigilancia hasta que quede despejado.
MISSING PEOPLE — AN OPEN QUESTION ON THIS WATCH / PERSONAS DESAPARECIDAS — UNA PREGUNTA ABIERTA EN ESTA VIGILANCIA
Field crews are also among the first to notice when something is wrong on a property — and missing people are posted across various states. Whether special training is needed for crews in identifying and assisting with missing people is an open question this Watch is carrying — to be answered with the counties and the people who run those postings before any crew takes on that role. Until then: notice it, note it, and report it — and do not enter unsafe ground to do it.
Las cuadrillas de campo también están entre las primeras en notar cuando algo anda mal en una propiedad — y hay personas desaparecidas publicadas en varios estados. Si se necesita capacitación especial para que las cuadrillas identifiquen y ayuden con personas desaparecidas es una pregunta abierta que esta Vigilancia lleva — para responderse con los condados y las personas que llevan esas publicaciones antes de que cualquier cuadrilla asuma ese papel. Hasta entonces: obsérvenlo, anótenlo y repórtenlo — y no entren a terreno inseguro para hacerlo.
UNDER DD'S WATCHFUL EYE — AN EXAMPLE: PACIFIC, WASHINGTON
BAJO LA MIRADA ATENTA DE DD — UN EJEMPLO: PACIFIC, WASHINGTON
Pacific sits in a flood-prone valley on the White River, where saturated ground and failing septic systems put contamination into the water — the same sanitation failure behind diseases like Shigella. This is why citizens with experience are critical: stewards of family lands across our tribal nations, who know the infrastructure and the lays of the land, and who — like Dustin's grandfather before him — have a keen eye for the connections.
Pacific está en un valle propenso a inundaciones a orillas del río White, donde el suelo saturado y los sistemas sépticos que fallan ponen contaminación en el agua — el mismo fallo de saneamiento detrás de enfermedades como la Shigella. Por eso los ciudadanos con experiencia son críticos: guardianes de tierras familiares a través de nuestras naciones tribales, que conocen la infraestructura y la disposición de la tierra, y que — como el abuelo de Dustin antes que él — tienen un ojo atento para las conexiones.
The recommendation, from Angel Potter — an elder, and Dustin's mother: get on top of the City of Pacific now. Level up the sides of that river and prepare, so this city is not left worse exposed.
La recomendación, de Angel Potter — una elder, y madre de Dustin: hay que atender la ciudad de Pacific ahora. Nivelar y reforzar las orillas de ese río y prepararse, para que esta ciudad no quede aún más expuesta.
Areas of concern · Seasonal watch
Seasonal Watch: where water meets the ground.
Some ground cannot wait for a schedule. This watch tracks the places where water, soil, and septic systems collide each season — and where Dustin and his crews already work when it matters most.
ACT NOW · TIJUANA FLOODING — RISING LEVELS
October 2026 — after heavy rains on Oct. 12, sewer manholes overflowed across Tijuana and Rosarito as stormwater entered the sewer system and CESPT crews deployed citywide. On Oct. 13 the city stepped up cleanup of storm drains and sediment basins — one basin alone serves about 50,000 residents — with sediment and dumped trash blocking drainage. Days earlier, Tropical Storm Rachel brought boat rescues in Valle de las Flores, water roughly 1.8–1.9 m (about 6 feet), and rainwater mixed with sewage into east-side homes. Imperial Beach and Tijuana Slough shorelines are closed as the Tijuana River carries sewage toward the ocean.
Address it now: watch rising levels, clear drains and basins of sediment and trash before the next storm, expect sewer surcharging and manholes that cannot accept stormwater, protect homes where rain mixes with sewage, and keep shoreline and bay caution until waters clear.
CRITICAL · WHITE RIVER VALLEY
Pacific, Washington — the valley that floods every year
Pacific sits in the flat White River valley next to Auburn — one of the most sensitive valleys in the region. It floods every year. When the valley fills, septic systems stop accepting water, and homes wait for the river to give their ground back. Dustin has been down there each time — this year’s flooding and last year’s — working the systems this valley depends on.

Dustin’s strategy for the valley
Stabilize the banks before the water rises: gravel spray along the river banks to armor eroding edges, slow the sediment that raises flood risk, and protect the ground that septic systems drain into.
