Page 2 <br />Burby <br /> <br />3. On sheet SIO: <br /> <br />I cannot determine any benefits in providing bedding materia] <br />and crushed rock along side of, above, or to the ground surface <br />in the building sewer trenches, effluent sewer trenches, main <br />and secondary pressure transport trenches, and pressure manifold <br />trenches, During heavy rainfall or snow melt periods, I would <br />expect surface and soil waters to be collected and flow in <br />these, if constructed as designed, Since the disposal field is <br />at the "end of the llne", you cOUld flood it out. I would <br />simply bed only the bottoms of the pipes and fill the remainder <br />of the trenches with backfilled soils, I would not use any <br />bedding on the pressure transport pipes; this is particularly <br />important on the pressure manifold portions of your system. <br /> <br />Do not excavate a conmon trench down through the disposal fields <br />to ~ the pressure manifold pipes. If you do, all effluent <br />will flow down to the bottom lines and flood them ou~. ) would <br />reco~end hand digging narrow trenches for this portion of the <br />system, and not having them any deeper than is necessary for a <br />connection to the individual pressure distribution laterals. On <br />a sloping hillside, you want an undisturbed earthen barrier <br />maintained between individual lateralS, SO effluent from one <br />line cannot short circuit into a lower line. <br /> <br />On the individual disposal field pressure distribution laterals; <br />they need to have a filter material that ranges in size from <br />l~1/2 to 2-1/2 inches. There must be a minimum of 12 inches of <br />backfilled soils. Do not extend the filter material to the <br />ground surface as show~ in the plans, (or you'll be sorry!). <br /> <br />The diagram of the two compartment septic tank appears <br />reversed. The inlet compartment needs to be 2/3 the size of the <br />total volume, The outlet fitting from the first compartment to <br />the second compart~nt also needs to be reversed; otherwise, it <br />will pick up sludge accumulations from the first compartment. <br /> <br />1/8 inch opening screens are definitely necessary, either in the <br />tanks or in the dosing chamber, prior to the dosing siphons, <br />The screens should have a minimum of twelve IlS) square feet of <br />surface area. <br /> <br />4. On sheet Slt: <br /> <br />The dosin9 tank needs to be provided with a manhole access ~ha~ <br />has the following minimum horizontal dimensions; <br />1. Opening at tank soffit - 30 inches. <br />2. Inside of manway - 42 inches. <br /> <br /> <br />
