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