The dye did show up in the seepage area at the northeast corner of the septic drain field. The seepage is most likely due to a settlement of the ground or a weakness in the northeast corner of the drain field. Should the repair work cost over $100.00, a Repair Permit will be necessary. The simplest solution might be to construct a clay dike. in the northeast corner and raise the level of the drain field approximately one foot. Please contact our office when the repairs have been made or when you need a repair Permit. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please feel free to contact this office.

On October 13, 1937, this department conducted a site inspection of the above referenced property. The inspection was requested by Jan Livergood of Century 21 Realty in Vail for the purpose of evaluating the existing condition of the on -site wastewater disposal and water supply systems. A review of the County records indicates that the sewage disposal system was permitted under Permit Number 374, inspected and approved in accordance with County Individual Sewage Disposal Regulations. A visual inspection of the ground surface indicated that the sewage disposal system was apparently functioning satisfactorily at the time of the inspection. Minor repair of the drain field pipe was completed on October 9, 1987. The water supply to this residence is from a community water system and is tested on a regular basis by the Colorado Department of Health. The Bellyache Ridae water system test results are available from the Upper Eagle Valley Consolidated Water and Sanitation District at 846 Forest Road in Vail, Colorado.

Tax parcel #1941-341-01-004. Dear Mr. Ranieri, On 5/10/94 this office conducted a.site visit on the above referenced property. The purpose of the site visit was to investigate an allegation that an individual sewage disposal system (ISDS) was failing on the property. During this visit it was discovered that this ISDS is not functioning properly. Be aware that this constitutes a violation of Eagle County Land Use Regulations 4.03, et sea. "The owners of any structure where people live, work, or congregate shall insure that the structure contains adequate, convenient, sanitary toilet and sewage disposal systems in good working order. Under no condition shall sewage effluent be permitted to be discharged upon the surface of the ground , or into waters of the State, unless the sewage or effluent meets the Water Quality Standards of the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission, or the Colorado Department of Health Guidelines Chapter 25, Article lo, C.R.S. 1973, as amended, whichever are applicable.,, As per Eagle County Land Use Regulations 4.03.06, "Application for a repair permit shall be made by such owner or occupant to the Environmental Health Department within two business days after receiving notice from the Department that the system is not functioning in compliance with section 25 article 10 C.R.S. 1973 as amended." 1 � Mr. Richard Ranieri June, 23, 1994 Page 2 It remains unclear as to the actual configuration of the waste water facilities serving the duplex. The adjacent owner after having received our notice has applied for a repair permit and has proceeded to pump and uncover his systems components. In his opinion there exist two tanks on one leach field. Our records do not clarify the matter, but we do know that it is the leach field that is failing. Therefore, you are required to conduct a,the same investigative measures after your application has been made. Eagle County Land Use Regulations 4.03.25 states "The order shall require that the owner or occupant bring the system into compliance or eliminate the nuisance or hazard within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 30 days, or thereafter cease and desist from use of the system." This situation must be rectified immediately. A repair permit must be applied for within two business days after the receipt of this letter to avoid court intervention. Georgi Turk has been notified as well, and has indicated that she will aide with this situation. Please be advised, Eagle County will pursue all available legal remedies to ensure that your septic system does not endanger the health of your tenants or anyone else in the surrounding area. Please find the enclosed ISDS repair application and other pertinent information. Sincerely, CLL-- 51vv Raym Merry, RE S Envir ivision Manager cc: James R.

BOX 179 EAGLE, COLORADO 81631 FAX (303) 328.7207 EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO CERTIFIED MAIL # P 794 721 497 In accordance with the procedure outlined in the Eagle County Land Use Regulations (ECLUR), Section 4.03.25, a hearing will be held to determine whether to issue an order to cease and desist from the use of your individual sewage disposal system (ISDS) serving the dwelling located at 549 Big Dipper Road, Bellyache Ridge Subdivision, Eagle County, Colorado. The order, if issued, will require the owner to bring the system into compliance with ISDS Regulations or eliminate the nuisance or hazard within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, or thereafter cease and desist from the use of the system. You are entitled to be present personally and/or with counsel if you wish to be heard. Eagle County received correspondence from Long's Excavation, Inc., that we felt justified refraining from requiring a repair of your system until spring. I'm sending this notice now to allow time for the repairs to occur prior to the hearing. In addition, the ISDS Permit previously issued to Long's Excavation, Inc., (ISDS #1389) has since expired. It will be necessary to re-evaluate the design of the repair for a new permit to be issued. Eagle County will not be requiring an additional permit fee. As you are aware, this system was determined not to be functioning in compliance with the above referenced Regulations as it constitutes a nuisance to public health and has not received timely repairs in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4.03.06, ECLUR. The hearing will be held Thursday, July 6, 1995 at 3:00pm, in the Eagle County Room at the Eagle County Building, located at 500 Broadway, Eagle, Colorado.

Merry, acting in his capacity as the chief administrative officer of the Eagle County, Colorado, Division of Environmental Health, and the Health Officer for purposes of Eagle County Land Use Regulations ("ECLUR"), Chapter 4. Stephen Armstrong did not appear. Richard Ranieri appeared by his attorney, Kerry Wallace. Based upon the statements and evidence offered at the hearing: IT IS FOUND: 1. In response to a complaint, on May 10, 1994, the Eagle County, Colorado, Division of Environmental Health investigated the Individual Sewage Disposal System ("ISDS") serving the properties located at 549 Big Dipper Road, East Duplex Lot 27, Bellyache Ridge, Tax Parcel #1941-341-01-005 and at 549 Big Dipper Road, West 0 Stephen Armstrong Richard Ranieri July 11, 1995 Page 2 Duplex Lot 27, Bellyache Ridge, Tax Parcel #1941-3471-01-005, owned, respectively, by Stephen Armstrong and Richard Ranieri. The investigation showed that the system was failing, effluent was saturating the ground and seeping onto the surface of the ground, and the system was not functioning in compliance with Eagle County Land Use Regulations, Chapter 4. It subsequently was determined that a single tank was serving both properties. 2. Written notice of violation pursuant to ECLUR 4.03.24, dated May 18, 1994, was given to Stephen Armstrong by mail, receipt of which on May 20 was acknowledged by him. The notice stated that he was required to apply for a repair permit within two.business days, pursuant to ECLUR 4.03.06, and bring the ISDS into compliance within 30 days. 3. Written notice of violation pursuant to ECLUR 4.03.24, dated June 23, 1994, was given to Richard Ranieri by mail, receipt of which on June 28 was acknowledged by him. The notice stated that he was required to apply for a repair permit within two business days, pursuant to ECLUR 4.03.06, and bring the ISDS into compliance within 30 days. 4. Stephen Armstrong applied for a repair permit on May 23, `vk" 5. Richard Ranieri applied for a repair permit on July 5, 1994. 6. A permit for the construction of new ISDS systems for the respective properties, per engineering drawings, was issued to Longs Excavation, Inc. on behalf of Stephen Armstrong and Richard Ranieri on or about November 141 1994. 7. Longs Excavation, Inc. requested an extension of time to complete the repair because of winter construction conditions, by FAX on November 30, 1994. 8. Based on the advice of the County Health Officer that during the winter the saturated surface and seeping effluent would be ice or under snow and, therefore, would not constitute a significant public health hazard while the winter conditions existed, enforcement of the ECLUR was deferred pending repair in Spring, 1995. 9. The Individual Sewage Disposal System(s) serving the two duplexes on the properties is(are) not functioning in compliance with the ECLUR and Title 25, Article 10 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. Stephen Armstrong Richard Ranieri July 11, 1995 Page 3 10. The Individual Sewage Disposal System(s) serving the two duplexes on the properties has(have) not been repaired. The system(s) has(have) not received timely repair as required by ECLUR paragraph 4.03.06. 11. The failure(s) of the Individual Sewage Disposal System(s) serving these properties constitutes a nuisance or hazard to public health. 12.

EDEEN 0541 Singletree Road Edwards, Colorado 81632 (303) 926-2130 Any and all other employees of the Eagle County Department of Community Development and Eagle County Department of Environmental Health or personnel which were involved in the permitting, inspection, approval and reparation requirements of the septic system located at Lot 27, Bellyache Subdivision, Filing Number 2, according to the recorded Plat thereof, County of Eagle, State of Colorado also known as 0549 Big Dipper Road, Bellyache Ridge Subdivision, Colorado whose names are not available at this time. NOTICE: YOU ARE HEREBY PROVIDED with Notice of Claim pursuant to C.R.S. 24-10-109 that the CLAIMANT, RICHARD RANIERI, asserts a claim against the responsible entities, parties, employers and agents based upon the following statement of facts known at this time. The CLAIMANT is the owner of real property known as Lot 27, Bellyache Ridge Subdivision, Filing Number 2, according the recorded Plat thereof, also known as 0549 Big Dipper Road, Wolcott, Colorado ("the property"). The Plaintiff purchased the property on April 15, 1994 from John L. and Ellen Warnack. Approximately two weeks after the CLAIMANT purchased the property the previous owners reported to the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health that the septic system upon the property appeared to be malfunctioning. That upon the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health's inspection of the system it was determined that the septic system had failed and would require replacement at a significant cost and impact to the property. That upon investigation by the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health, it was determined that there was only one 1,000 gallon septic tank and one 800 square foot leach field for the duplex building upon the property, which is inadequate for a duplex the size of the one located upon the property. Upon investigation by CLAIMANT of the Eagle County Records in regard to the property, it came to the CLAIMANT'S attention in mid -October, 1994, that Eagle County had issued a permit, Number 374, on or about October 17, 1979 for installation of a septic system when the duplex upon the property was constructed. The permit required that there be the following type of septic system installed upon the property: A. 1,000 gallon septic tank for each unit of the duplex and two 800 square foot installed leach fields, with the recommendation of the installation of two dry wells, each 10 foot by 10 foot (1 dry well for each unit, leading from each one of the tanks). B. An alternative absorption area is a terraced leach field of 1200 square foot combined for both units. The permit required that there be a final visual inspection of the septic system twenty- four (24) hours prior to back fill (See Exhibit "A"). That Erik W. Edeen of the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health issued a letter November 20, 1979 stating that upon inspection of the individual sewage disposal systems upon the duplex, it was determined that the disposal systems were installed according to specifications of the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health, in particular that two 1,000 gallon septic tanks were installed (one for each unit of the duplex) and two 800 square foot leach fields were installed (one for each unit of the duplex) (Exhibit "B"). Yet, as stated previously, in 1994 it was determined by the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health that only one septic tank and one leach field were in place for the entire duplex. In 1987 the septic system upon the property failed and the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health only required minor repairs which, at best, would only temporarily alleviate any problems with the septic system. At the time of this failure, the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health failed to determine that there was only one system for the entire duplex in place. (Exhibit "C"). That once the minor and inadequate reparations upon the septic system were performed, the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health issued at least two letters indicating that the system was functioning properly. That the initial installation of an inadequate septic/sewage system upon the property which did not comply with existing regulations in effect at the time and which in fact did not even comply with the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health's permit requirements, even though said system had been visually inspected and improved by the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health, and the failure of the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health to inspect and require the proper reparations in 1987 when the system on the property failed has caused the CLAIMANT to incur damages including, but not limited to, the cost of a new septic system, and loss of value of the property due to removal of trees to make space for the new septic system. CLAIMANT claims that due to the negligent actions of the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health the CLAIMANT has suffered the above referenced damages. The exact amount and nature of CLAIMANT'S damages are unknown at this time, but estimates for installation of a new septic system are approximately $35,000.00 for each side of the duplex upon the property. A new septic system will require the removal of a majority of the mature trees upon the lot and will negatively impact existing landscaping. Dated this —� day of 1995. STOVALL GOODMAN WALLACE, P.C. P.O. Drawer 5860 Avon, Colorado 81620 (303) 949-4200 ATTORNEYS FOR CLAIMANT Richard Ranieri Approved: a (date) SUBSURFACE TRICKLE IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR ON -SITE WASTEWATER DISPOSAL AND REUSE Dr. B.L. Carlile P.E. Dr. A. Sanjines, Mech. E. Cert. Prof. Soil Scientistt Geoflow, Inc. § Summary of Process Description The subsurface trickle irrigation system described in this report utilizes an aerobic treatment system in conjunction with a proven subsurface water application system developed by GEOFLOW, Inc. to offer a total system concept for safe and effective sewage disposal for site conditions considered marginal or unsuitable for conventional septic tank systems. The integrated system described here is an improved dosing and distribution concept compared to the low pressure pipe system, approved and utilized in many states to overcome soil/site limitations. The proposed system is also an effective irrigation system allowing reuse of treated wastewater in home and lawn settings without the concerns of direct exposure of the effluent to human and animal populations. The system proposed is an integrated package consisting of several components, each designed for a specific purpose in the treatment and disposal of wastewater by trickle irrigation. including: 1. Primary treatment - the wastewater is first passed through a primary tank to achieve physical settling of macro -solids and to assist in degradation of some pollutants including oil and grease. This will be achieved in a septic tank for home systems and a properly designed primary tank for larger flow systems 2. Secondary treatment - the primary effluent will be further treated in a secondary treatment process by extended aeration in a Clearstream Aerobic Treatment System that has been fully field and lab tested to show achievement of effluent quality of better than 20 mg/I Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and 20 mg/I Total Suspended Solids (TSS) at maximum design flow. 3. Disinfection - the secondary effluent will be treated by chlorination ozonation or ultra -violet radiation at adequate dosage to achieve disinfection of pathogens to drinking water quality standards. 4. Filtration - the treated effluent in passed through a 150 mesh disc filter, with manual or automatic backwash, prior to irrigation. 5. Subsurface irrigation - the relatively clean effluent is injected 6 to 10 inches below the soil surface through trickle emitters located on 24 inch centers throughout the disposal area. The effluent will be applied in several "pulses" per day at rates not to exceed the water absorption capacity of the soil. A typical system would be dosed 5 to 8 times per day at 50 gallons per dose.

It is proposed that the subsurface trickle irrigation system proposed here is an improved and suitable replacement for both of the systems. Soil Absorption System The major factor in design of a satisfactory on -site waste disposal system for poor soil conditions can be summarized as follows: 1) distribution, 2) dosing, 3) sewage placement, and 4) improved pre-treatment and disinfection. Distribution cannot be over -emphasized in the design of any on -site system for "low perc" soils due to the need to spread sewage over large land areas. The effluent must be distributed evenly over this large area so as not to exceed the capacity of the soil to absorb the hydraulic load. Adequate distribution is extremely hard, if not impossible, to achieve in any currently designed gravity flow system. Some portion of the system is inherently overloaded which results in initiation of the clogging phenomena and hence the "progressive failure" observed in many such systems. Low pressure systems improve on the distribution concept but have limitations in "low perc" soils in that trenches can only be installed on 4 or 5 foot centers and the relatively high flow from drilled orifices often result in effluent surfacing. Dosina of effluent is equally important in maintaining the aerobic status of the soil system in and around the distribution trench, thus preventing the clogging or "slimming up" of soil interfaces and subsequent failure. Dosing concepts can be described as either 1) short term dosing or 2) alternate dosing. Short term dosing usually refers to multiply daily dosings of effluent into a single system with several hours or sometimes days of resting and re -aeration between each dose. Two to eight doses per day has been shown to be satisfactory in systems designed for pressure dosing in either subsurface or surface application. Alternate dosing refers to dual or multiple fields where one part of field receives all of the effluent for a specified period. at which time the effluent is switched to the alternate plot. This can be done each pump cycle, once per day or switched only when one field has a problem. Both short term and alternate dosing is often utilized in trickle irrigation systems. Both dosing concepts as well as combinations and modifications of the above have been successfully utilized in several states to treat and dispose of sewage from individual homes as well as cluster developments, school systems, and mobile home parks with flows of up to 50,000 gpd. The design factor of sewage placement refers to the concept of placing the sewage in the soil zone or horizon most conducive to absorption, treatment, and re -aeration. In soils with high water tables this usually means at least a one or two foot separation between the seasonal water table and the point of sewage injection. For soils with restrictive clay horizons or hardpans, the sewage should be injected as high above the restrictive zone as possible. This minimum separation allows for lateral or horizontal flow of effluent away from the distribution trench or pipe before interception by the restrictive zone and allows for more uniform absorption through the restricting layer. This, coupled with enhanced treatment of the sewage in the better soils above the restrictive horizon, greatly enhances the quality of effluent impacting the restrictive 3 Small individual home aerobic decomposition and treatment can be accomplished at comparatively low cost through small mechanically aerated treatment systems. The better small aerobic units are capable of producing an effluent exceeding that of the most sophisticated municipal treatment plants. Table 1 shows the summary of effluent quality from a two year operational study of the Clearstream Aerobic Treatment System, field tested at several homes in Florida and Texas and by extensive testing of the unit by the National Sanitation Foundation, a national independent testing agency. The aerobic treatment unit described here treats the primary effluent by extended aeration in a mechanically aerated contact chamber. The aerated wastewater in the contact chamber is well mixed to provide optimum exposure of the microorganism to the waste material. There is also a significant reduction of pathogenic bacteria during this process. After approximately 24 hours of aerobic contact, the activated wastewater is clarified in a settling chamber and the settled solids returned to the aeration chamber. The settled and clarified effluent is discharged from the settling chamber through an improved design discharge assembly to minimize solids carryover. Aerobic treatment of domestic wastewater can be accomplished in other ways. Sand filtration is a process sometimes used whereby the domestic wastewater is first given primary treatment in a septic tank to reduce solids and then applied intermittently to the surface of a sand bed of 2.5 to 3 foot depth. An efficient sand filtration method is the recirculating sand filter (RSF). The RSF offers a high degree of treatment with a minimum of maintenance or nuisance problems. The RSF when loaded at a raw waste hydraulic loading of 2.5-3.0 gal/ft2 per day produces a high quality effluent of similar characteristics to that of the better aerobic treatment units. The slow rate, intermittent sand filter, when designed at an hydraulic loading of 1.5 to 2 gal/ ft2 per day of septic tank effluent can also produce a high quality effluent. The choice between an aerobic system or a sand filter system depends both upon the particular technical circumstances as well as local regulations. We suggest that a Professional Engineer be consulted. All treatment systems require routine systematic maintenance and the successful long term operation of the system is dependent upon this maintenance being correctly carried out. B. Disinfection The treatment by chlorination, ozonation, or UV radiation of the effluent discharged from the aerobic cell represents the final step of a "safe" pre- treatment system designed to allow maximum reuse of the wastewater in a landscape mode. The potential of ozonation for deactivating viruses and bacteria, detoxifying organic compounds and oxidizing any odorous components make it the logical choice for systems installed in lake shore settings or in extremely high groundwater conditions. Ozone concentration in very low amounts and at very short contact time is capable of disinfecting and deodorizing the effluent. This process has only recently been utilized for home waste treatment due to the high installation and operation costs of ozonation systems. 5 treatment unit with disinfection designed in conjunction with the system should keep the bacterial slimes under control in the system and the 150 mesh disc filter installed in -line of the header should remove any extraneous solids which might be of size to plug the emitter orifice. All these components integrated into a reliable sub -irrigation system makes this a unique process for domestic waste disposal. Other systems of a similar nature are being promoted and used in some southeastern states. One such system utilizes a rubber diaphragm pressure compensating emitter. The rubber diaphragm reduces the outlet orifice during operation, making it highly susceptible to clogging. Even though the orifice opens when pressure is off, the chances of intermittent plugging with bacterial slimes are quite high. A rubber diaphragm is susceptible to attack by oil, gasoline products and oxidizing agents, resulting in a likely change in the physical characteristics of the rubber overtime and thus affecting the uniformity of flow in the emitters. Deposits also tend to build up at the seat of the diaphragm over time, changing the flow characteristics of the emitter. These pressure compensating emitters are not protected against root intrusion and is susceptible to plugging by roots (2). Only the GEOFLOW emitter protected by ROOTGUARD® can offer positive protection against a very serious threat of root plugging. Soil Application Design The instantaneous water application rate of the system must not exceed the water absorption capacity of the soil. A determination of the instantaneous water absorption capacity of the soil is difficult, however, since the value varies with the water content of the soil. As the soil approaches saturation with water, the absorption rate reduces to an equilibrium rate called the "saturated hydraulic conductivity." Wastewater application rates should be less that 10 percent of this saturated equilibrium Even though the trickle irrigation system maximizes the soil absorption rate through the low rate of application, thus keeping the soil below saturation, there will be times when the soil is at or near saturation from rainfall events. The design must account for these periods and assume the worst case condition of soil saturation. By designing for a safety factor of 10 or 12, based on the . saturated hydraulic conductivity, the system will be under -loaded most of the time but should function without surface failure during extreme wet periods. Using a safety factor of 12, a suitable design criteria would be to load the system at the estimated hydraulic conductivity but apply water for only a total of 2 hours per day out of the available 24 hours. By applying wastewater for a total of 2 hour per day, particularly if applied in "pulses" or short doses several times per day near the soil surface were the soil dries the quickest, this would keep the soil absorption rate at the highest value and minimize the potential of water surfacing on poor soil conditions. As stated previously, this design criteria will under -load the system at all times except when the soil is at or near saturation from rainfall. If designing for an efficient irrigation system, the water supply may not be sufficient to meet the demands of a lawn or landscaped area during peak water demand months. This problem can be overcome by either of two solutions: add additional fresh- 7 Pump Tank and Controls Dosing and irrigation supply will be by a submersible effluent pump located in a 150-300 gallon storage tank. The operation of the pump will be by a simple float on -off level switch in the tank. The "on" level switch will activate the pump when the tank reaches a high water mark and the low level switch will turn the pump off when the tank reaches a predetermined minimum water level. For a typical system this volume would be 50-100 gallons. For a 250 to 500 GPD system, this results in 3 to 10 irrigation pulses per day. For systems on sloping ground where water drains from the pipes to the lower points of the system after each pulse or dose, larger doses and fewer pulses per day would be more suitable. Irrigation uniformity is best maintained with irrigation pulses of 10 minutes or more. Filter Requirements The recommended disc filter uses a 150 mesh screen that filters out particles larger than about 100 microns. The type of emitter used in GEOFLOW trickle systems will not have problems with this particular size since the diameter of the flow path is 14 to 17 times larger, or 0.056 inches (1400 microns) for the 1 GPH emitter to 0.08 inches (2,000 microns) for the 2 GPH emitter. To maintain the proper water quality for the drip system, the filters are easily backwashed manually or equipped with automatic back flush triggered by a timer or a pressure differential switch. The installation schematic of the in -line filter is shown in the typical system lay -out. ` Flow Regulator Under normal conditions, the pressure in the trickle lines should be maintained between 20 and 25 psi during operations. This is controlled by a pressure regulator located in -line following the filter. The emitter lines are connected at each end by a PVC header line and flush line to allow optimum pressure equilibrium in the system. Flush /vacuum release valves are located at each end of these lines to allow a small amount of water to be automatically flushed from the system every time it is started and avoid dirt suck back when the system is switched off. This is important to prevent solids from accumulating at the ends of these lines and to prevent dirt from entering the lines. The schematic of a typical field layout of the trickle irrigation system shows only a single field. For systems over 2000 ft in size or having over 500 emitters, the system would be split into 2 or more fields of equal size. Flow for a dual field system would be alternated through the use of a mechanical valve which automatically switches fields each time the pump is activated. For systems with more than 2 fields, the operation of each field is controlled with an irrigation controller utilizing electric solenoid valves for each field station. By separating the system into several fields, smaller pumps and more uniform distribution can be achieved. Where soil conditions vary, some fields may be programmed to receive less water than other fields of the system . Trickle Emitter Lines A normal home system would have emitter lines placed on 2 foot centers with a 2 foot emitter spacing such that each emitter supplies a 4 ft area (Fig. 3). These lines are best placed at depths of 6-10 inches below the surface. This is 0 Bibliography 1. Pettygrove, G.S.

LABORATORY STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST SUBSURFACE TRICKLE- IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR ON -SITE WASTEWATER DISPOSAL AND REUSE Dr. B.L. Carlile P.E. Dr. A. Sanjines, Mech. E. Cert. Prof. Soil Scientistt Geoflow, Inc. § Summary of Process Description The subsurface trickle irrigation system described in this report utilizes an aerobic treatment system in conjunction with a proven subsurface water application system developed by GEOFLOW, Inc. to offer a total system concept for safe and effective sewage disposal for site conditions considered marginal or unsuitable for conventional septic tank systems. The integrated system described here is an improved dosing and distribution concept compared to the low pressure pipe system, approved and utilized in many states to overcome soil/site limitations. The proposed system is also an effective irrigation system allowing reuse of treated wastewater in home and lawn settings without the concerns of direct exposure of the effluent to human and animal populations. The system proposed is an integrated package consisting of several components, each designed for a specific purpose in the treatment and disposal of wastewater by trickle irrigation. including: 1. Primary treatment - the wastewater is first passed through a primary tank to achieve physical settling of macro -solids and to assist in degradation of some pollutants including oil and grease. This will be achieved in a septic tank for home systems and a properly designed primary tank for larger flow systems 2. Secondary treatment - the primary effluent will be further treated in a secondary treatment process by extended aeration in a Clearstream Aerobic Treatment System that has been fully field and lab tested to show achievement of effluent quality of better than 20 mg/I Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and 20 mg/I Total Suspended Solids (TSS) at maximum design flow. 3. Disinfection - the secondary effluent will be treated by chlorination ozonation or ultra -violet radiation at adequate dosage to achieve disinfection of pathogens to drinking water quality standards. 4. Filtration - the treated effluent in passed through a 150 mesh disc filter, with manual or automatic backwash, prior to irrigation. 5. Subsurface irrigation - the relatively clean effluent is injected 6 to 10 inches below the soil surface through trickle emitters located on 24 inch centers throughout the disposal area. The effluent will be applied in several "pulses" per day at rates not to exceed the water absorption capacity of the soil. A typical system would be dosed 5 to 8 times per day at 50 gallons per dose.

Portal Ave, #327 San Francisco, CA 94127 submersible effluent pump with water level controls in a pump tank will be used to control dosing volumes in most systems. 6. Economics - the estimated system cost will be slightly higher than a typical low pressure pipe or surface irrigation disposal system. The subsurface trickle system does offer a suitable irrigation system for lawns and landscape beds whereas the low pressure pipe system cannot be considered an efficient replacement for an irrigation system. While surface irrigation of wastewater is limited to off -hours application to remote or low use areas of a lot, the subsurface trickle irrigation system can be utilized for the entire high - use lawn area even through some fresh make-up water may be required to be added during peak water use months. A schematic diagram of the treatment process is shown in Figure 1 and a typical field layout of the trickle irrigation system is shown in Figure 2. Introduction Many homes, communities, businesses, and schools in rural United States do not have access to public sewage treatment facilities and must treat and dispose of the daily sewage flow through on -site disposal systems or by wastewater treatment systems whose effluent flows to a receiving stream for discharge. In the past, the system most often chosen beeause it was the simplest and cheapest to build was the conventional septic tank followed by soil trenches filled with stone which served as underground storage reservoirs and absorption surfaces for disposal of the sewage in the surrounding soil. Because of site specific factors such as poor soils, high water tables and excessive slopes, as well as the limitations of gravity distribution for large flows, the conventional septic tank -soil absorption systems often malfunctioned after a limited period of use. Several alternatives have been developed and used for repair and replacement of the conventional septic tank system for these poor site locations. The major consideration in assessing the suitability of these alternatives for such installation were: 1) simple and reliable - ability to operate over a long period without continuous presence of a skilled operator 2) efficient - simple to install and efficient in operation with minimum operational costs 3) environmental impact - health, aesthetic and water quality problems should be minimized 4) costs - both installation and O & M costs should be within the range of current alternatives available 5) potential for reuse - effluents from the system should have potential for reuse for irrigation of lawns and shrubs with minimum impact on underlying groundwater The soil absorption systems developed and most utilized currently for these fragile site installations include the low pressure pipe (LPP) system, and the surface irrigation system. Each of these systems have specific site and soil criteria where best utilized and require detailed site investigations for proper 2 Aerobic Chlorinator unit Wastewater 7 Septic oa tank 8 °�` I Air compressor Dosing chamber Figure 1.

It is proposed that the subsurface trickle irrigation system proposed here is an improved and suitable replacement for both of the systems. Soil Absorption System The major factor in design of a satisfactory on -site waste disposal system for poor soil conditions can be summarized as follows: 1) distribution, 2) dosing, 3) sewage placement, and 4) improved pre-treatment and disinfection. Distribution cannot be over -emphasized in the design of any on -site system for "low perc" soils due to the need to spread sewage over large land areas. The effluent must be distributed evenly over this large area so as not to exceed the capacity of the soil to absorb the hydraulic load. Adequate distribution is extremely hard, if not impossible, to achieve in any currently designed gravity flow system. Some portion of the system is inherently overloaded which results in initiation of the clogging phenomena and hence the "progressive failure" observed in many such systems. Low pressure systems improve on the distribution concept but have limitations in "low perc" soils in that trenches can only be installed on 4 or 5 foot centers and the relatively high flow from drilled orifices often result in effluent surfacing. Dosing of effluent is equally important in maintaining the aerobic status of the soil system in and around the distribution trench, thus preventing the clogging or "slimming up" of soil interfaces and subsequent failure. Dosing concepts can be described as either 1) short term dosing or 2) alternate dosing. Short term dosing usually refers to multiply daily dosings of effluent into a single system with several hours or sometimes days of resting and re -aeration between each dose. Two to eight doses per day has been shown to be satisfactory in systems designed for pressure dosing in either subsurface or surface application. Alternate dosing refers to dual or multiple fields where one part of field receives all of the effluent for a specified period. at which time the effluent is switched to the alternate plot. This can be done each pump cycle, once per day or switched only when one field has a problem. Both short term and alternate dosing is often utilized in trickle irrigation systems. Both dosing concepts as well as combinations and modifications of the above have been successfully utilized in several states to treat and dispose of sewage from individual homes as well as cluster developments, school systems, and mobile home parks with flows of up to 50,000 gpd. The design factor of sewage placement refers to the concept of placing the sewage in the soil zone or horizon most conducive to absorption, treatment, and re -aeration. In soils with high water tables this usually means at least a one or two foot separation between the seasonal water table and the point of sewage injection. For soils with restrictive clay horizons or hardpans, the sewage should be injected as high above the restrictive zone as possible. This minimum separation allows for lateral or horizontal flow of effluent away from the distribution trench or pipe before interception by the restrictive zone and allows for more uniform absorption through the restricting layer. This, coupled with enhanced treatment of the sewage in the better soils above the restrictive horizon, greatly enhances the quality of effluent impacting the restrictive 3 horizon. Generally, water tables and restricting layers must be deeper than 36" for conventional gravity systems to function adequately on such sites. The final design factor is that of pre-treatment and disinfection. This factor becomes most important on sites located on fragile conditions such as high water tables and/or on soils having restrictive horizons near the surface. These conditions result in the potential for effluent impacting groundwater or surface water quality near the site location. If the soil treatment zone is not sufficient to adequately treat the injected sewage flow, some pre-treatment and disinfection must be utilized prior to soil disposal to offer needed protection of surface and ground water resources. System Design Parameters. A. Primary and Secondary Pre-treatment - Both primary and secondary pre-treatment will be afforded to the sewage to achieve greater than 90 percent removal of suspended solids and organic contaminants from the wastewater prior to disinfection and disposal. Primary treatment will be by anaerobic treatment in an initial settling tank with at least 1 day detention time. Primary treatment is both a physical and biological process that achieves about 40% degradation of soluble BOD and 50 to 60% removal of solids by physical settling. Secondary treatment may be by the aerobic process which applies the principles of an aerobic environment to provide more rapid and complete decomposition of organic waste material, greater reduction of pathogens, and oxidation of nitrogen products as compared to an anaerobic environment. A NSF Standard 40 Class I aerobic system that is properly sized and maintained should provide an additional 85 to 90 percent removal of BOD and TSS from the wastewater. As of November 26, 1991 specific models from Aquarobic, Canada; Clearstream, TX; Klargester, FL; Multi -Flo, OH; Nayadic Sciences, PA; and Norweco, OH are on the Official NSF List. Table 1.

P.O. Box 705, Silsbee, TX 77656 El Small individual home aerobic decomposition and treatment can be accomplished at comparatively low cost through small mechanically aerated treatment systems. The better small aerobic units are capable of producing an effluent exceeding that of the most sophisticated municipal treatment plants. Table 1 shows the summary of effluent quality from a two year operational study of the Clearstream Aerobic Treatment System, field tested at several homes in Florida and Texas and by extensive testing of the unit by the National Sanitation Foundation, a national independent .testing agency. The aerobic treatment unit described here treats the primary effluent by extended aeration in a mechanically aerated contact chamber. The aerated wastewater in the contact chamber is well mixed to provide optimum exposure of the microorganism to the waste material. There is also a significant reduction of pathogenic bacteria during this process. After approximately 24 hours of aerobic contact, the activated wastewater is clarified in a settling chamber and the settled solids returned to the aeration chamber. The settled and clarified effluent is discharged from the settling chamber through an improved design discharge assembly to minimize solids carryover. Aerobic treatment of domestic wastewater can be accomplished in other ways. Sand filtration is a process sometimes used whereby the domestic wastewater is first given primary treatment in a septic tank to reduce solids and then applied intermittently to the surface of a sand bed of 2.5 to 3 foot depth. An efficient sand filtration method is the recirculating sand filter (RSF). The RSF offers a high degree of treatment with a minimum of maintenance or nuisance problems. The RSF when loaded at a raw waste hydraulic loading of 2.5-3.0 gal/ft2 per day produces a high quality effluent of similar characteristics to that of the better aerobic treatment units. The slow rate, intermittent sand filter, when designed at an hydraulic loading of 1.5 to 2 gal/ ft2 per day of septic tank effluent can also produce a high quality effluent. The choice between an aerobic system or a sand filter system depends both upon the particular technical circumstances as well as local regulations. We suggest that a Professional Engineer be consulted. All treatment systems require routine systematic maintenance and the successful long term operation of the system is dependent upon this maintenance being correctly carried out. B. Disinfection The treatment by chlorination, ozonation, or UV radiation of the effluent discharged from the aerobic cell represents the final step of a "safe" pre- treatment system designed to allow maximum reuse of the wastewater in a landscape mode. The potential of ozonation for deactivating viruses and bacteria, detoxifying organic compounds and oxidizing any odorous components make it the logical choice for systems installed in lake shore settings or in extremely high groundwater conditions. Ozone concentration in very low amounts and at very short contact time is capable of disinfecting and deodorizing the effluent. This process has only recently been utilized for home waste treatment due to the high installation and operation costs of ozonation systems. 5 C. Final Treatment and Reuse by Subsurface Irrigation Decentralizing the treatment process and producing a safe effluent at the point of generation makes reuse an attractive activity. Reusing aerobic, disinfected wastewater instead of potable water for non -potable uses like lawns, flower -bed and shrubbery sub -irrigation reduces the effective cost of the system and can lead to significant reduction in per capita demands for potable water supplies. Applying wastewater to the soil is in itself a very effective treatment process. There are many chemical, biological and physical processes that occur in the soil that substantially improve the quality of wastewater (1, 11, 12). Trickle Emitter Design A reliable subsurface trickle irrigation system for wastewater combines the advantages of high irrigation efficiency and water economy with that of safe underground application. The major concern and problem with drip or trickle irrigation has always been the risk of clogging of emitters, even when using clean well -water. This has resulted in the design and use of relatively larger diameter outlets in the emitters. However, by using larger outlet emitters in subsurface drip systems, root intrusion became the main constraint. Roots seeking moisture and nutrients have been shown to enter drip irrigation lines and block them in the same manner they enter sewer pipes (2). ` Because of the amount of impurities associated with wastewater and the potential for bacterial growth in the lines, the constraints of emitter blockage is quite real and must be addressed. To minimize this problem, the emitters should have relatively large diameter outlets. GEOFLOWTM has developed an emitter with "turbulent flow long path" design that has the largest flow area for a given flow rate of any emitters in use today. These emitters operate at a flow rate of 1 to 2 GPH with 0.06 to 0.07 inch orifices. To inhibit the growth of bacterial slimes on the walls of the trickle irrigation lines GEOFLOWTM incorporates a bactericide into the tube material. The tube with bactericide is purple in color to indicate non -potable water. To solve the problem of root intrusion, the ROOTGUARDO 1 process was developed. This is an exclusive GEOFLOWTM process by which an environmentally safe herbicide (TREFLAN02 )is compounded into the emitters to protect them from root intrusion for many years. The quantities of herbicide used are very small since only a small area around the emitter orifice has to be protected. Because of the very limited movement of ROOTGUARD in the soil and its virtual insolubility in water, only the roots that try to enter the emitter orifice will be inhibited. The turbulent flow emitters used by GEOFLOW in the proposed wastewater systems are made out of polypropylene and polyethylene and are resistant to most acids and substances likely to be found in domestic wastewater. The pre- ROOTGUARD® is a registered Agrifim Irrigation trade mark. The ROOTGUARD technology is used under license from the Battelle Memorial Institute. TREFLAN®is a trademark of Dow- Elanco on treatment unit with disinfection designed in conjunction with the system should keep the bacterial slimes under control in the system and the 150 mesh disc filter installed in -line of the header should remove any extraneous solids which might be of size to plug the emitter orifice. All these components integrated into a reliable sub -irrigation system makes this a unique process for domestic waste disposal. Other systems of a similar nature are being promoted and used in some southeastern states. One such system utilizes a rubber diaphragm pressure compensating emitter. The rubber diaphragm reduces the outlet orifice during operation, making it highly susceptible to clogging. Even though the orifice opens when pressure is off, the chances of intermittent plugging with bacterial slimes are quite high. A rubber diaphragm is susceptible to attack by oil, gasoline products and oxidizing agents, resulting in a likely change in the physical characteristics of the rubber overtime and thus affecting the uniformity of flow in the emitters. Deposits also tend to build up at the seat of the diaphragm over time, changing the flow characteristics of the emitter. These pressure compensating emitters are not protected against root intrusion and is susceptible to plugging by roots (2). Only the GEOFLOW emitter protected by ROOTGUARDO can offer positive protection against a very serious threat of root plugging. Soil Application Design The instantaneous water application rate of the system must not exceed the water absorption capacity of the soil. A determination of the instantaneous water absorption capacity of the soil is difficult, however, since the value varies with the water content of the soil. As the soil approaches saturation with water, the absorption rate reduces to an equilibrium rate called the "saturated hydraulic conductivity." Wastewater application rates should be less that 10 percent of this saturated equilibrium Even though the trickle irrigation system maximizes the soil absorption rate through the low rate of application, thus keeping the soil below saturation, there will be times when the soil is at or near saturation from rainfall events. The design must account for these periods and assume the worst case condition of soil saturation. By designing for a safety factor of 10 or 12, based on the saturated hydraulic conductivity, the system will be under -loaded most of the time but should function without surface failure during extreme wet periods. Using a safety factor of 12, a suitable design criteria would be to load the system at the estimated hydraulic conductivity but apply water for only a total of 2 hours per day out of the available 24 hours. By applying wastewater for a total of 2 hour per day, particularly if applied in "pulses" or short doses several times per day near the soil surface were the soil dries the quickest, this would keep the soil absorption rate at the highest value and minimize the potential of water surfacing on poor soil conditions. As stated previously, this design criteria will under -load the system at all times except when the soil is at or near saturation from rainfall. If designing for an efficient irrigation system, the water supply may not be sufficient to meet the demands of a lawn or landscaped area during peak water demand months. This problem can be overcome by either of two solutions: add additional fresh- 7 water make-up to the system during the growing season to supply the needed water for plants in question; or split the system into two or more fields with necessary valves and only use one of the fields during the peak water demand months and alternate the fields during winter months or extremely wet periods Table 2 shows the recommended hydraulic loading rates for various soil conditions, using a safety factor of 12 with regard to the equilibrium saturated hydraulic conductivity rate of the soil.These loading rates assumes a treated, disinfected effluent with BOD and TSS values of less than 20 mg/I is produced in the pre treatment system.

For larger homes, a 600 - 750 gallon per day aerobic unit should be used. After primary and secondary treatment, disinfection is the next step to reduce pathogen levels in the effluent and minimize bacterial growth in the field lines and emitters. The usual treatment to control bacterial slime growth is chlorination on a continuous basis to achieve a residual concentration of 1-2 mg/I. If ozone or UV disinfection is used, which have no residual effect in the lines, then chlorine should be applied on an intermittent basis at a rate of 10-20 mg/I just before the system is finished dosing the last dose of the day. Chlorine may be introduced into the system either as liquid, solid or gas forms. For home systems, the liquid or solid form is more appropriate. Since calcium hypochlorite tablets may flake when dissolving and chlorine may cause some iron and manganese precipitation, it is better to chlorinate ahead of the final filter so that any particulates are removed. Pump Tank and Controls Dosing and irrigation supply will be by a submersible effluent pump located in a 150-300 gallon storage tank. The operation of the pump will be by a simple float on -off level switch in the tank. The "on" level switch will activate the pump when the tank reaches a high water mark and the low level switch will turn the pump off when the tank reaches a predetermined minimum water level. For a typical system this volume would be 50-100 gallons. For a 250 to 500 GPD system, this results in 3 to 10 irrigation pulses per day. For systems on sloping ground where water drains from the pipes to the lower points of the system after each pulse or dose, larger doses and fewer pulses per day would be more suitable. Irrigation uniformity is best maintained with irrigation pulses of 10 minutes or more. Filter Requirements The recommended disc filter uses a 150 mesh screen that filters out particles larger than about 100 microns. The type of emitter used in GEOFLOW trickle systems will not have problems with this particular size since the diameter of the flow path is 14 to 17 times larger, or 0.056 inches (1400 microns) for the 1 GPH emitter to 0.08 inches (2,000 microns) for the 2 GPH emitter. To maintain the proper water quality for the drip system, the filters are easily backwashed manually or equipped with automatic back flush triggered by a timer or a pressure differential switch. The installation schematic of the in -line filter is shown in the typical system lay -out. ` Flow Regulator Under normal conditions, the pressure in the trickle lines should be maintained between 20 and 25 psi during operations. This is controlled by a pressure regulator located in -line following the filter. The emitter lines are connected at each end by a PVC header line and flush line to allow optimum pressure equilibrium in the system. Flush /vacuum release valves are located at each end of these lines to allow a small amount of water to be automatically flushed from the system every time it is started and avoid dirt suck back when the system is switched off. This is important to prevent solids from accumulating at the ends of these lines and to prevent dirt from entering the lines. The schematic of a typical field layout of the trickle irrigation system shows only a single field. For systems over 2000 ft in size or having over 500 emitters, the system would be split into 2 or more fields of equal size. Flow for a dual field system would be alternated through the use of a mechanical valve which automatically switches fields each time the pump is activated. For systems with more than 2 fields, the operation of each field is controlled with an irrigation controller utilizing electric solenoid valves for each field station. By separating the system into several fields, smaller pumps and more uniform distribution can be achieved. Where soil conditions vary, some fields may be programmed to receive less water than other fields of the system . Trickle Emitter Lines A normal home system would have emitter lines placed on 2 foot centers with a 2 foot emitter spacing such that each emitter supplies a 4 ft area (Fig. 3). These lines are best placed at depths of 6-10 inches below the surface. This is 0 a typical design for systems on sandy and loamy soils which will have a cover crop of lawn grass. Other line spacing may be used for special use situations such as for landscape beds where shrubs and trees are to be watered and are planted on an irregular spacing. Closer line spacings of 15 to 18 inches can be used on clay soils where lateral movement of water is restricted. The shallow depth of installation is an advantage of the trickle irrigation, system since the topsoil or surface soil is generally the most permeable soil for accepting water. The topsoil also dries the fastest after a rainfall event and will maintain the highest water absorption rate. Where restrictive horizons such as hardpans or claypans are present or sites with seasonal high water tables near the surface, shallow placement allows the dispersement of water above these zones. Where fill material is used to increase the soil depth on such problem sites, the trickle emitter lines can be laid on the original soil surface and the fill material carefully placed over the lines.

Sites should be quickly sodded or seeded and mulched with appropriate lawn grasses immediately after installation. Most lawn grasses will use 0.25 to 0.35 inches of water per day during the peak growing season. This calculates to be about 0.16 to 0.22 gal/ft2 /day, a significant part of the daily effluent loading. By overseeding lawns with winter ryegrass, this use efficiency can be continued through much of the year. For vegetation using 0.16 to 0.22 gal/ft2 /day by evapo-transpiration, the typical home sewage flow of 250 gallons per day would supply the water needs of a landscaped area of 1150 to 1600 sq. ft. without having to add fresh make- up water. For systems larger than this, the plants will suffer water stress during the hot dry months unless additional fresh water is applied. To determine the rate of water application from various trickle irrigation designs, Table 3 gives the rate for a 1 gph emitter at various line and emitter spacings. These values assume the water is equally distributed between the emitters. 10 1511-95 Tax#1941-341-01-004 NAME 549 Big Dipper .Rd. RANIERI aOB N©.

Prof. Soil Scientistt Geoflow, Inc. § Summary of Process Description The subsurface trickle irrigation system described in this report utilizes an aerobic treatment system in conjunction with a proven subsurface water application system developed by GEOFLOW, Inc. to offer a total system concept for safe and effective sewage disposal for site conditions considered marginal or unsuitable for conventional septic tank systems. The integrated system described here is an improved dosing and distribution concept compared to the low pressure pipe system, approved and utilized in many states to overcome soil/site limitations. The proposed system is also an effective irrigation system allowing reuse of treated wastewater in home and lawn settings without the concerns of direct exposure of the effluent to human and animal populations. The system proposed is an integrated package consisting of several components, each designed for a specific purpose in the treatment and disposal of wastewater by trickle irrigation. including: 1. Primary treatment- the wastewater is first passed through a primary tank to achieve physical settling of macro -solids and to assist in degradation of some pollutants including oil and grease. This will be achieved in a septic tank for home systems and a properly designed primary tank for larger flow systems 2. Secondary treatment - the primary effluent will be further treated in a secondary treatment process by extended aeration in a Clearstream Aerobic Treatment System that has been fully field and lab tested to show achievement of effluent quality of better than 20 mg/I Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and 20 mg/I Total Suspended Solids (TSS) at maximum design flow. 3. Disinfection - the secondary effluent will be treated by chlorination ozonation or ultra -violet radiation at adequate dosage to achieve disinfection of pathogens to drinking water quality standards. 4. Filtration - the treated effluent in passed through a 150 mesh disc filter, with manual or automatic backwash, prior to irrigation. 5. Subsurface irrigation - the relatively clean effluent is injected 6 to 10 inches below the soil surface through trickle emitters located on 24 inch centers throughout the disposal area. The effluent will be applied in several "pulses" per day at rates not to exceed the water absorption capacity of the soil. A typical system would be dosed 5 to 8 times per day at 50 gallons per dose.

It is proposed that the subsurface trickle irrigation system proposed here is an improved and suitable replacement for both of the systems. Soil Absorption System The major factor in design of a satisfactory on -site waste disposal system for poor soil conditions can be summarized as follows: 1) distribution, 2) dosing, 3) sewage placement, and 4) improved pre-treatment and disinfection. Distribution cannot be over -emphasized in the design of any on -site system for "low perc" soils due to the need to spread sewage over large land areas. The effluent must be distributed evenly over this large area so as not to exceed the capacity of the soil to absorb the hydraulic load. Adequate distribution is extremely hard, if not impossible, to achieve in any currently designed gravity flow system. Some portion of the system is inherently overloaded which results in initiation of the clogging phenomena and hence the "progressive failure" observed in many such systems. Low pressure systems improve on the distribution concept but have limitations in "low perc" soils in that trenches can only be installed on 4 or 5 foot centers and the relatively high flow from drilled orifices often result in effluent surfacing. Dosing of effluent is equally important in maintaining the aerobic status of the soil system in and around the distribution trench, thus preventing the clogging or "slimming up" of soil interfaces and subsequent failure. Dosing concepts can be described as either 1) short term dosing or 2) alternate dosing. Short term dosing usually refers to multiply daily dosings of effluent into a single system with several hours or sometimes days of resting and re -aeration between each dose. Two to eight doses per day has been shown to be satisfactory in systems designed for pressure dosing in either subsurface or surface application. Alternate dosing refers to dual or multiple fields where one part of field receives all of the effluent for a specified period. at which time the effluent is switched to the alternate plot. This can be done each pump cycle, once per day or switched only when one field has a problem. Both short term and alternate dosing is often utilized in trickle irrigation systems. Both dosing concepts as well as combinations and modifications of the above have been successfully utilized in several states to treat and dispose of sewage from individual homes as well as cluster developments, school systems, and mobile home parks with flows of up to 50,000 gpd. The design factor of sewage placement refers to the concept of placing the sewage in the soil zone or horizon most conducive to absorption, treatment, and re -aeration. In soils with high water tables this usually means at least a one or two foot separation between the seasonal water table and the point of sewage injection. For soils with restrictive clay horizons or hardpans, the sewage should be injected as high above the restrictive zone as possible. This minimum separation allows for lateral or horizontal flow of effluent away from the distribution trench or pipe before interception by the restrictive zone and allows for more uniform absorption through the restricting layer. This, coupled with enhanced treatment of the sewage in the better soils above the restrictive horizon, greatly enhances the quality of effluent impacting the restrictive 3 Small individual home aerobic decomposition and treatment can be accomplished at comparatively low cost through small mechanically aerated treatment systems. The better small aerobic units are capable of producing an effluent exceeding that of the most sophisticated municipal treatment plants. Table 1 shows the summary of effluent quality from a two year operational study of the Clearstream Aerobic Treatment System, field tested at several homes in Florida and Texas and by extensive testing of the unit by the National Sanitation Foundation, a national independent testing agency. The aerobic treatment unit described here treats the primary effluent by extended aeration in a mechanically aerated contact chamber. The aerated wastewater in the contact chamber is well mixed to provide optimum exposure of the microorganism to the waste material. There is also a significant reduction of pathogenic bacteria during this process. After approximately 24 hours of aerobic contact, the activated wastewater is clarified in a settling chamber and the settled solids returned to the aeration chamber. The settled and clarified effluent is discharged from the settling chamber through an improved design discharge assembly to minimize solids carryover. Aerobic treatment of domestic wastewater can be accomplished in other ways. Sand filtration is a process sometimes used whereby the domestic wastewater is first given primary treatment in a septic tank to reduce solids and then applied intermittently to the surface of a sand bed of 2.5 to 3 foot depth. An efficient sand filtration method is the recirculating sand filter (RSF). The RSF offers a high degree of treatment with a minimum of maintenance or nuisance problems. The RSF when loaded at a raw waste hydraulic loading of 2.5-3.0 gal/ft2 per day produces a high quality effluent of similar characteristics to that of the better aerobic treatment units. The slow rate, intermittent sand filter, when designed at an hydraulic loading of 1.5 to 2 gal/ ft2 per day of septic tank effluent can also produce a high quality effluent. The choice between an aerobic system or a sand filter system depends both upon the particular technical circumstances as well as local regulations. We suggest that a Professional Engineer be consulted. All treatment systems require routine systematic maintenance and the successful long term operation of the system is dependent upon this maintenance being correctly carried out. B. Disinfection The treatment by chlorination, ozonation, or UV radiation of the effluent discharged from the aerobic cell represents the final step of a "safe" pre- treatment system designed to allow maximum reuse of the wastewater in a landscape mode. The potential of ozonation for deactivating viruses and bacteria, detoxifying organic compounds and oxidizing any odorous components make it the logical choice for systems installed in lake shore settings or in extremely high groundwater conditions. Ozone concentration in very low amounts and at very short contact time is capable of disinfecting and deodorizing the effluent. This process has only recently been utilized for home waste treatment due to the high installation and operation costs of ozonation systems. 5 treatment unit with disinfection designed in conjunction with the system should keep the bacterial slimes under control in the system and the 150 mesh disc filter installed in -line of the header should remove any extraneous solids which might be of size to plug the emitter orifice. All these components integrated into a reliable sub -irrigation system makes this a unique process for domestic waste disposal. Other systems of a similar nature are being promoted and used in some southeastern states. One such system utilizes a rubber diaphragm pressure compensating emitter. The rubber diaphragm reduces the outlet orifice during operation, making it highly susceptible to clogging. Even though the orifice opens when pressure is off, the chances of intermittent plugging with bacterial slimes are quite high. A rubber diaphragm is susceptible to attack by oil, gasoline products and oxidizing agents, resulting in a likely change in the physical characteristics of the rubber over time and thus affecting the uniformity of flow in the emitters. Deposits also tend to build up at the seat of the diaphragm over time, changing the flow characteristics of the emitter. These pressure compensating emitters are not protected against root intrusion and is susceptible to plugging by roots (2). Only the GEOFLOW emitter protected by ROOTGUARDO can offer positive protection against a very serious threat of root plugging. Soil Application Design The instantaneous water application rate of the system must not exceed the water absorption capacity of the soil. A determination of the instantaneous water absorption capacity of the soil is difficult, however, since the value varies with the water content of the soil. As the soil approaches saturation with water, the absorption rate reduces to an equilibrium rate called the "saturated hydraulic conductivity." Wastewater application rates should be less that 10 percent of this saturated equilibrium Even though the trickle irrigation system maximizes the soil absorption rate through the low rate of application, thus keeping the soil below saturation, there will be times when the soil is at or near saturation from rainfall events. The design must account for these periods and assume the worst case condition of soil saturation. By designing for a safety factor of 10 or 12, based on the saturated hydraulic conductivity, the system will be under -loaded most of the time but should function without surface failure during extreme wet periods. Using a safety factor of 12, a suitable design criteria would be to load the system at the estimated hydraulic conductivity but apply water for only a total of 2 hours per day out of the available 24 hours. By applying wastewater for a total of 2 hour per day, particularly if applied in "pulses" or short doses several times per day near the soil surface were the soil dries the quickest, this would keep the soil absorption rate at the highest value and minimize the potential of water surfacing on poor soil conditions. As stated previously, this design criteria will under -load the system at all times except when the soil is at or near saturation from rainfall. If designing for an efficient irrigation system, the water supply may not be sufficient to meet the demands of a lawn or landscaped area during peak water demand months. This problem can be overcome by either of two solutions: add additional fresh- 7 Pump Tank and Controls Dosing and irrigation supply will be by a submersible effluent pump located in a 150-300 gallon storage tank. The operation of the pump will be by a simple float on -off level switch in the tank. The "on" level switch will activate the pump when the tank reaches a high water mark and the low level switch will turn the pump off when the tank reaches a predetermined minimum water level. For a typical system this volume would be 50-100 gallons. For a 250 to 500 GPD system, this results in 3 to 10 irrigation pulses per day. For systems on sloping ground where water drains from the pipes to the lower points of the system after each pulse or dose, larger doses and fewer pulses per day would be more suitable. Irrigation uniformity is best maintained with irrigation pulses of 10 minutes or more. Filter Requirements The recommended disc filter uses a 150 mesh screen that filters out particles larger than about 100 microns. The type of emitter used in GEOFLOW trickle systems will not have problems with this particular size since the diameter of the flow path is 14 to 17 times larger, or 0.056 inches (1400 microns) for the 1 GPH emitter to 0.08 inches (2,000 microns) for the 2 GPH emitter. To maintain the proper water quality for the drip system, the filters are easily backwashed manually or equipped with automatic back flush triggered by a timer or a pressure differential switch. The installation schematic of the in -line filter is shown in the typical system lay -out. Flow Regulator Under normal conditions, the pressure in the trickle lines should be maintained between 20 and 25 psi during operations. This is controlled by a pressure regulator located in -line following the filter. The emitter lines are connected at each end by a PVC header line and flush line to allow optimum pressure equilibrium in the system. Flush /vacuum release valves are located at each end of these lines to allow a small amount of water to be automatically flushed from the system every time it is started and avoid dirt suck back when the system is switched off. This is important to prevent solids from accumulating at the ends of these lines and to prevent dirt from entering the lines. The schematic of a typical field layout of the trickle irrigation system shows only a single field. For systems over 2000 ft in size or having over 500 emitters, the system would be split into 2 or more fields of equal size. Flow for a dual field system would be alternated through the use of a mechanical valve which automatically switches fields each time the pump is activated. For systems with more than 2 fields, the operation of each field is controlled with an irrigation controller utilizing electric solenoid valves for each field station. By separating the system into several fields, smaller pumps and more uniform distribution can be achieved. Where soil conditions vary, some fields may be programmed to receive less water than other fields of the system . Trickle Emitter Lines A normal home system would have emitter lines placed on 2 foot centers with a 2 foot emitter spacing such that each emitter supplies a 4 ft area (Fig. 3). These lines are best placed at depths of 6-10 inches below the surface. This is 0 Bibliography 1. Pettygrove, G.S.

The Whitewater treatment system is tested under the stringent conditions of NSF International* and meets or exceeds all certification requirements, with an average effluent quality of 6 mg/L BODS and 7 mg/L TSS. How Whitewater Why Use Whitewater Treatment Systemst Treatment Systems? Work In using the Whitewater Treatment System you can be proud that you are directly contributing to a cleaner, safer environment. Whitewater works by using the bacteria nature provides. As a result of air being pumped into the system, the bacteria thrive and grow in much greater numbers than would occur naturally. This "overpopulation" of bacteria speeds the process of breaking down the sewage, making it safe for release into the environment. The process occurs entirely within the self-contained Whitewater system which is comprised of an outer mixing tank and a cone -shaped settling chamber. Raw, unsettled domestic wastewater enters directly into the mixing tank where mixing occurs by air blown through pipes. Solids remain in suspension with a general flow up the outer plant wall and down the outside of the settling chamber. The mixed liquid then enters the settling chamber from the bottom. The settling chamber maintains a quiet condition which allows solids to settle down and re-enter the mixing chamber for more processing.

Box 969 Denham Springs, LA 70727 (504) 665-1666 FAX (504) 665-1855 Whitewater Systems Model HC-1 Liquid Chlorination System The Whitewater Model HC-1 Liquid Chlorination System chlorinates waste- water to remove bacteria and viruses. The liquid type chlorination system is easier to maintain than solid type systems and the duration between charging is also extended to 6 months or more, making it much more cost effective to recharge. The chlorination system consists of a 15 gallon polyethylene tank and a pres- sure operated pump that injects an adjustable amount of liquid disinfectant into the wastewater each time the pump receives a pressure signal. The pump is made of all non -corrosive materials and is constructed for long life. The chlorine pump has no motor or other similar moving parts. It operates when pressure inside the annulus of the pump between the pump wall and a length of collapsible tubing squeezes the tubing and forces its contents out of the pump through an external check valve at the outlet of the tubing. When the pressure signal is removed, the tubing expands to its original shape during which it draws in more disinfectant from the opposite end through another check valve. This process is repeated each time the pressure signal is applied and released. The dosage is adjusted with a 3-way valve that returns an adjustable portion of the pumped liquid back into the storage tank. The tank is typically buried below ground. The fill tube and pump housing is located inside a surface mounted valve box. 15 gallons of 5% to 12% Sodium Hypochlorite solution is poured into the tank through the fill tube. The pump is then placed and secured in the fill tube. A full tank will last approximately 6 months on a 500 gallon per day treatment plant. For the gravity system, a contact tank is placed in the wastewater discharge line. Wastewater enters the tank where it is periodically mixed with chlorine disinfectant. Each time the main pump turns on, a pressure signal is applied to the chlorine pump which then injects a predetermined amount of chlorine into the contact tank. In the contact tank system supplied by Delta, the main pump pumps about 15 gallons of disinfected water during each pump cycle. The prop- er amount of chlorine required to treat 15 gallons of wastewater is injected into the contact tank each cycle, thereby keeping the correct amount of residual chlorine in the contact tank for the required amount of time to disinfect the wastewater. For drip and spray irrigation systems, the chlorine can be injected directly into the lines to control bacteria build-up or into the main dose tank for com- plete disinfection. The HC-1 system can also be used for dechlorination by injecting a dechlori- nation chemical into the waste stream after the wastewater has been disinfected.

East Duplex Lot 27, Bellyache Ridge Rd. Tax parcel #1941-341-01-005. Dear Mr. Armstrong, On 5/10/94 this office conducted a site visit on the above referenced property. The purpose of the site visit was to investigate a complaint alleging that your individual sewage disposal system (ISDS) was failing. During this visit it was discovered that your ISDS is not functioning properly. Be aware that this constitutes a violation of Eagle County Land Use Regulations 4.03, et sect. "The owners of any structure where people live, work, or congregate shall insure that the structure contains adequate, convenient, sanitary toilet and sewage disposal systems in good working order. Under no condition shall sewage effluent be permitted to be discharged upon the surface of the ground, or into waters of the State, unless the sewage or effluent meets the Water Quality Standards of the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission, or the Colorado Department of Health Guidelines Chapter 25, Article 10, C.R.S. 1973, as amended, whichever are applicable." As per Eagle County Land Use Regulations 4.03.06,., "Application for a repair permit shall be made by such owner or occupant to the Environmental Health Department within two business days after receiving notice from the Department that the system is not functioning in compliance with section 25 article 10 C.R.S. 1973 as amended." This situation must be rectified immediately. A repair permit must be applied for within two business days after the receipt of this letter to avoid court intervention. Please be advised, Eagle County will pursue all available legal remedies to ensure that your septic system does not endanger the health of your tenants or anyone else in the surrounding area. Please find the enclosed ISDS repair application and other pertinent information. Sincerely, Raymon Merry, REHS, --f Environmental Health Division Manager cc: James R.

Paui Long President November JU, 1994 Eagle County Environmental Heath Division This is a letter in response to a sewage system permit issued for Stephen Armstrong and Richard Ranieri for 549 Big dipper Road. The Site has been visited by Longs and a bid sent to owners �,:z of December 1., 1994. The sits: is such that to insure a qua.lti.ty system the job will need to be done in the spring or summer months cf the year. The site access is such that material imported for the mound system wjould bc- very difficult or impossible.. This and the fact that most material would have than potential to be frozen would make the job impossible at this time of year. There is also the potential dur- to the existing system, that the area will need to be dried out by installing west system first. Then allow the area to rest for .;a week L.'r Sc and install ether system. These are All reasons why the job should wait till spring. We estimate it will take two wee;;s to complete both systems. rf the system has to be put - in now. I would suggest an alternative such as a storage system or some other means to get by until spring. 7 ank-you r 1 f1'U� L©ng's Excavation Inc. P.O.

COLORADO 81631 FAX (303) 328.7207 CERTIFIED MAIL #P 794 721 498 In accordance with the procedure outlined in the Eagle County Land Use Regulations (ECLUR), Section 4.03.25, a hearing will be held to determine whether to issue an order to cease and desist from the use of your individual sewage disposal system (ISDS) serving the dwelling located at 549 Big Dipper Road, Bellyache Ridge Subdivision, Eagle County, Colorado. The order, if issued, will require the owner to bring the system into compliance with ISDS Regulations or eliminate the nuisance or hazard within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, or thereafter cease and desist from the use of the system. You are entitled to be present personally and/or with counsel if you wish to be heard. Eagle County received correspondence from Long's Excavation, Inc., that we felt justified refraining from requiring a repair of your system until spring. I'm sending this notice now to allow time for the repairs to occur prior to the hearing. In addition, the ISDS Permit previously issued to Long's Excavation, Inc., (ISDS #1399) has since expired. It will be necessary to re-evaluate the design of the repair for a new permit to be issued. Eagle County will not be requiring an additional permit fee. As you are aware, this system was determined not to be functioning in compliance with the above referenced Regulations as it constitutes a nuisance to public health and has not received timely repairs in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4.03.06, ECLUR. The hearing will be held Thursday, July 6, 1995 at 3:00pm, in the Eagle County Room at the Eagle County Building, located at 500 Broadway, Eagle, Colorado. Sincerely, Raym P.

County, Colorado, Division of Environmental Health, and the Health Officer for purposes of Eagle County Land Use Regulations ("ECLUR"), Chapter 4. Stephen Armstrong did not appear. Richard Ranieri appeared by his attorney, Kerry Wallace. Based upon the statements and evidence offered at the hearing: IT IS FOUND: 1. In response to a complaint, on May 10, 1994, the Eagle County, Colorado, Division of Environmental Health investigated the Individual Sewage Disposal System ("ISDS") serving the properties located at 549 Big Dipper Road, East Duplex Lot 27, Bellyache Ridge, Tax Parcel #1941-341-01-005 and at 549 Big Dipper Road, West r- Stephen Armstrong Richard Ranieri July 11, 1995 Page 2 Duplex Lot 27, Bellyache Ridge, Tax Parcel #1941-3471-01-005, owned, respectively, by Stephen Armstrong and Richard Ranieri. The investigation showed that the system was failing, effluent was saturating the ground and seeping onto the surface of the ground, and the system was not functioning in compliance with Eagle County Land Use Regulations, Chapter 4. It subsequently was determined that a single tank was serving both properties. 2. Written notice of violation pursuant to ECLUR 4.03.24, dated May 18, 1994, was given to Stephen Armstrong by mail, receipt of which on May 20 was acknowledged by him. The notice stated that he was required to apply for a repair permit within two business days, pursuant to ECLUR 4.03.06, and bring the ISDS into compliance within 30 days. 3. Written notice of violation pursuant to ECLUR 4.03.24, dated June 23, 1994, was given to Richard Ranieri by mail, receipt of which on June 28 was acknowledged by him. The notice stated that he was required to apply for a repair permit within two business days, pursuant to ECLUR 4.03.06, and bring the ISDS into compliance within 30 days. 4. Stephen Armstrong applied for a repair permit on. May 23, 1994. 5. Richard Ranieri applied for a repair permit on July 5, 1994. 6. A permit for the construction of new ISDS systems for the respective properties, per engineering drawings, was issued to Longs Excavation, Inc. on behalf of Stephen Armstrong and Richard Ranieri on or about November 14, 1994. 7. Longs Excavation, Inc. requested an extension of time to complete the repair because of winter construction conditions, by FAX on November 30, 1994. - 8. Based on the advice of the County Health Officer that during the winter the saturated surface and seeping effluent would be ice or under snow and, therefore, would not constitute a significant public health hazard while the winter conditions existed, enforcement of the ECLUR was deferred pending repair in Spring, 1995. 9. The Individual Sewage Disposal Systems) serving the two duplexes on the properties is(are) not functioning in compliance with the ECLUR and Title 25, Article 10 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. Stephen Armstrong Richard Ranieri July 11, 1995 Page 3 10. The Individual Sewage Disposal System(s) serving the two duplexes on the properties has(have) not been repaired. The system(s) has(have) not received timely repair as required by ECLUR paragraph 4.03.06. 11.
