. The existing tanks may not be water tight and if not abandon, pump and fill with soil. The pumping chamber and 2nd tank may be newer and may be used if the flow line is at an adequate elevation and water tight. If the 2nd and 3rd tanks are water tight with the 1st tank abandoned, an additional 1000 gallon tank may be added and a new pumping chamber totaling 3-1000 gallon holding tanks and 1-1500 gallon pumping chamber which is required. 2-1000 gallon hotding tanks will need to be installed at the bam and flow gravity to the pumping chamber at the house. The supply line will need to be insulated in areas of winter travel. A pumping chamber will need to be installed to lift the effluent to the treatment area. The power supply and switches must be located outside the manhole and pumping chamber in a weather proof enclosure. A warning device must be installed with a light and sound device, this is in case of a pump failure. The manifold and supply line pipe must have back drainage to the pumping chamber. The distribution pipes shall have their ends capped. Be sure the rock and sand fill material are clean. The sod layer below the entire mounded area must be tumed over, just break up the sod, be sure not to over work. All neighboring wells are located greater than 100' away from the proposed treatment area. Keep all heavy equipment off of the proposed treatment area before and after construction. The treatment area should be marked off before construction. This Design is not valid & the system will need to be relocated if failure to protect the areas proposed for On-Site Sewage Treatment occurs. With proper installation and maintenance, this system should have no problem in treating septic effluent effectively. 2
