Resources, except that in areas where ten-year flood information is available
from and/or approved by the Department of Natural Resources.
11. PUMPING -- A 600 -gallon capacity tank, placed in series with the sewage
tank, shall be manufactured and installed in compliance with
the following specifications. See attached Figure fur

111. ORAINFIELD
1. LOCATION
A. Mounds shall be located on flat areas or crests of slopes whenever possible.
B. Mounds shall not be located on natural slopes of more than three percent
if the percolation rate in all layers of natural or fill soil to a depth
of at least 24 inches below the sand layer of the mound Is slower than
60 minutes per inch.
6-
C. Mounds shall not be located on natural slopes of more than six percent if
the percolation rate Is slower than 30 minutes per inch In all layers of
natural or fill soil to a depth of at least 24 inches below the sand layer
of the mound.
D. Mounds shall not be located on natural slopes exceeding 12 percent under any
soil percnlation rate conditions.
E. Mounds shall not be located on any soil where the percolatino rate In any
layer of natural or fill soil to a depth of at least 24 Inches below the
sand layer of the mound is slower than 120 minutes per Inch.
2. CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT
A rubber -tired tractor may be used for plowing or disk4ng to prepare the soil
surface but in no case shall a rubber -tired tractor be used after the surface
preparation is completed. A crawler or track -type tractor shall be used for
mound construction.
3. SOIL SURFACE PREPARATION
A. The discahrge pipe from the pumo to the mound area shall be installed prior
to soil surface prvpxratiOP The trench excavated to install the discharge
pipe shall be careiviiy backfilled and compacted to prevent seepage of
effluent.
B. The total area selected for the mound, including that under the dikes, shall
be roughened in order to thoroughly break up any existing sod layer and to
provide a suitable transition zone between the original soil and the sand
layer of the Hound. The area shall be roughened only when the moisture
content of the soil eight inches below the surface is drier than the plastic
limit.
Plastic Ilett is the soil moisture content below which the soil may be
manipulated for purposes of installing a soil treatment system, and above
which manipulation will cause compaction and puddling. If a fragment of
soil can easily be rolled into a wire 1/8 -inch in diameter, the moisture
content is above the plastic limit. If the soil is dry enough to be f-i'hle
W. falls apart when rolling it into a wire, the moisture content I
the limit, and the soil may be manipulated. The standard method of
determining the plastic limit Is specified in American Association of ',Lace
Highway Officials (AASHO) Designation: T 90-61.
C. Surface preparation or roughening may be performed with a mold board plow,
a disk plow, ur a backhoe using only the teeth. Mold board plow furrows
shall be at least 8 inches deep, shall be thrown upslope, and Shall run
perpendicular to the slope. There shall be no deadfurrow under the rnund.
Disking may be used for surface preparaton as a substitute for mold board
plowing in sols having percolation rates faster than 15 minutes per inch
(sandy loam) In the top 8 -inch depth.. Disking shall be performed
perpendicular to the slope.
-7-
Backhue teeth may oe used to roughen the soil surface and break up the
sod layer. Care m..st be taken so as not to compact or puddle deeper soil
layers. In no case snc'I any surface soil be excavated and removed from
the area. Backhoe teeth shall roughen the surface perpendicular to the
slope.
D. Mound construction shall proceed immediately after surface preparation is
completed. Every effort shall be taken to prevent rain from falling on the
prepared soil surface.
4. SILL (see Figure for layout and details)
A. The bottom area of the filter material (rock) was sized on the basis of
0.83 square feet per gallon of waste per day, yielding 500 square feet.
B. In no case shall the width of the filter material (rock) in a single bed
exceed 10 feet.
5. CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES
A. A minimum of 12 inches of soil defined as sand shall be placed where the
filter material is to be located. A crawler tractor with a blade or bucket
shall be used to move the sand 'rte place. At least six inches of sand
shall be kept under the tracks to minimize compaction of the plowed layer.
The sand layer upon which the filter mateiral is placed shall be level.
B. Sand is defined as a soil texture composed by weight of at least 25 percent
of very coarse, coarse, and medium sand varying in size from 2.0 to
0.25 mm, less than 50 percent of fine or very fine sand ranging in size
between 0.25 and 0.05 mm, and no more than 10 percent of particles smaller
than 0.05 mm.
C. A depth of at least 9 inches of filter material (rock) shall be placed
on the sand layer prior to installing the distribution
D. Filter material is defined as clean rock, crushed igneous rock, or similar
insolubTe, durable, and decay -resistant material free from dust, sand, silt,
or clay. The size shall range from 3./4 -inch diameter to 2 1/2 -inch
diameter.
E. Effluent shall be distributed over the filter material by 1 -inch to
1 1/2 -inch diameter perforated pipe under pressure. Perforation holes shall
be 3/16 -inch to 1/4 -inch in diameter drilled in a straight line along the
length of the pipe. Hole pacing shall be 30 inches to 36 inches. Holes
shall be drilled straight into the pipe and not at an angle. A sharp drill
shall be used and any burrs in the inside of the pipe shall be removed.
The perforated pipe laterals sha.l be installed level with the perforations
downward.
F. The perforated pipe laterals shall be connected to a 2 -inch diameter
manifold pipe and shall have their ends capped. The laterals shall be
spaced no further than 40 'inches on center and no further than 20 inches
from the edge of the filter material. Laterals shall be no longer than
�O feet.
G. The manifold pipe shall be connected t0 the supply pipe from the pump. The
manifold pipe shall be sloped toward the supply pipe from the pump.
-8-
H. At least two inches of filter material shall be placed over the lateral
pipes.
1. Straw or marsh hay to an uncompacted depth of three to four inches or
untreated building paper shall be placed over the filter material.
J. Construction vehicles shall not be allowed on the filter material until
backfill is placed.
K. Sandy loam soil shall be placed on the filter material to a depth of one
foot in the center of the mound and to a depth of six inches at the sides.
L. Six inches of topsoil shall be placed on the fill material over the entire
area of the mound. A grass cover shall be established over the entire area
of the mound.
N. No shrubs shall be planted on the top of the mound. Shrubs may be placed
at the foot and side slopes of the around.
N. Side slopes of four feet horizontal to one foot vertical (a:l) are suggested
for the dikes of the mound. This gentle slope will allow easy mowing of
the grass cover. If area Is limited, steeper side slopes of 3:1 can be
used. But In no case shall the dike slope be ctoeper then 3:1. The soil
material at the toe of the dike should be sligutJy less v�rmeable or
somewhat tighter than the natural soil below the mound. This can be
accomplished by selecting a finer soil or by compaction.
0. Whenever mounds are located on slopes, a diversion shall be constructed
immediately up slope from the mound to intercept and divert runoff.
P. A four -inch in tion well shall be provided for, if required by the
regulating au ity, and should be placed in the center of the field and
capped flush with the ground.
