Electrical cords must not run through or under the manhole cover. Wires must not have round contact. Pumpin Chamber: / Pressure pipe exiting the pumping chamber must be laid on a uniform slope up to the soil treatment area for �� proper drain back. The pressure pipe must be sleeved and inside a larger diameter pipe for additional support if spanning ground that has been excavated. If the pipe at the tank must be lower than union to get elevation for drain back,a one- uarter inch wee hole must be used. When soil depths above the pressure distribution pipe is less than 3'/z feet, insulation must be added to achieve an insulating factor equal to 3'/2 feet of soil to decrease the potential for freezing(Styrofoam or concentric piping are acceptable methods). Piping under hardcover, such as tennis courts or driveways shall be insulated pipe or e uivalent. � !�a ti A reserve capacity equaling 75%of the anticipated daily flow must be allowed into the pumping chamber between 0 the alarm activation level and the um tank inlet. Protection of drainfield area. �,� Proposed drainfield areas shall be identified and marked off on the lot at the time of the site evaluation and prior to �� S � any construction or grading occurring in the area. The drainfield area shall remain undisturbed until drainfield �t a� �onstruction is commenced.
