nonmatey %egwiAed to add a second when tepai.t,ing a 6ai.ti.ng system. 16 you have
2 tanks but they ane sub6tantiatty unde•tsized (500-600 gatton�s, bon instance),
it is neeommended that they be •teptaeed. 16 yowl •%epaixs wi.tt %equi,%e aup m ,
it should be ptaeed in a thvcd tank (500-1000 ga,tton recommended).
System will likely require replacement/addition of 1 or more
tanks:
3. A note about pumps: Purrs and pump contActs have out o6 necessity become betteA
designed and mode dunabte .in .the East hew yean•a. Neatty one septic system in
6oun i.natatted in Oxono makes use o6 a pump, due to site conditions. A pum,) may
be needed: - when basement 6toon ctu i.na of toweat seine.% Eine ane betow the area

Then.e ane eaaenti.a.tty two .types o6 pumps used in septic systems appti.cnti.ons:
1. E66tuent pumps - pump only tiquidd, notmatty used a6tet .the second septic
tank, on bon Eaundty in the basement; and
2. Grinder on aotids-handti.ng pumps, used bon basement to-ete.ts and sometimes
i.netatted in an outai.de sump, tch.ieh pump aeuage up to septic tanks on
high ground.

i4. DtatnSietd - yout diamiietd is the comronent o6 uour ae.ptc-, system the conttac.tot
has least contwt ovel. No matter how welt constructed a dtainlietd is, it is
no bZffe—t titan the soil it is placed in. Fot example, a 1500 squatc boot dtaut-
6ictd in heavy clay with high watea table -sewing one te6idence may not work as
welt as a 400 aquate Acct d4ain6ietd in -sandy loam w4th no water table µtobtem.
The soil i.s vatiable (thanks to .the gtaci,,u) and may be completely di66eren.t
in toes tions leas than 100 beet apa�tt.
The type o6 nepa.ut.a on 4eplacement 06 you- drain6.ietd logicatty ahomed be baz�d
on .the eapabitity o6 your pa4ticutat aoit type. To do thio, it is prudent to
have petcotalion testa and aoi,t bot'nga taken. The "pert" teat -i.a a meaaute
o6 how 6a6t water will move through the aoi,t. 8oaings witt indicate the depth
to oaten table on swonatty aatutated conditions (indicated by mottled ted and
gray eolo.ta in .the ao.i.t) and ahoutd discover any hardpan on clay hyena which
wi.tl impede water movement.
Soil borings/pert tests are required.
����❑"` Soil borings/pert tests are recommended.
❑ Soils borings/pert tests have been done previously or are not needed.
8ased on the 64End'nga, the person doing you% teating ahoutd design a syatem Son
your patacutar water uaeage (based nonmatty on 150 gat.tona per bednaom per day)
and 6o•t your partieu.tar ate. It iA not unusual to Sind that you may need a
mound -type -system, ai.nce the majority o6 Orono's soi.ta ate clayey and have
pe.tehed sa.tunated zones Within a Sew beet o6 the 6u46aee during pate oS the year..
Tench syztems i.nztatted .in these aoita in the past o6ten experienced aeasonat

ate suitable.
tionmatty, the City Inarector wilt neeoamend what he beets are the minimum
acceptable tepaZ%6 based opt hiz knowtedge o6 the bite and s i.tuation. HotreveA,
thete is no guatantee that the neeommended nepaira tvi,tt be adequate. Fon
this reason, a design based on ao-i..t testing and yowl patt'eu.taA site and

�No Recommendation on system type; you should have soil testing done and have
a system designed by a site evaluator, site conditions are too marginal or
unknown to make a reasonable recommendation without testing.
