Access <br /> openings used for service and assessment shall be sealed watertight upon the completion of service. Any <br /> opening deemed unsound defective, or subject to failure must be replaced. Exposed access openings <br /> greater than 8-inches in diameter shall be secured by an effective locking device to prevent accidental or <br /> unauthorized entry into the tank. <br /> No one should enter a septic or other treatment or holding tank for any reason <br /> without being in full compliance with OSHA standards for entering a confined <br /> space. The atmosphere within the septic or other treatment or holding tank may <br /> contain lethal gases, and rescue of a person from the interior of the tank may be <br /> difficult or impossible. <br /> Tank abandonment shall be in accordance with Comm. 83.33, Wis. Adm. Code when the tank is no <br /> longer used as a POWTS component. <br /> SOIL ABSORPTION COMPONENT <br /> The soil absorption component serving this structure is designed to accept domestic wastewater from a <br /> residential facility. The limits of operation of this component are shown in Table 2. <br /> The longevity of a soil absorption component depends greatly on proper and timely maintenance, and <br /> system use within or below the limits of reliable operation. Good water conservation practices by all <br /> occupants and the installation of water conserving plumbing fixtures are key factors in extending the <br /> useful life of this component. <br /> The soil absorption component's operation must be assessed by inspection at least once every 3 years. <br /> This inspection shall include recording the levels of ponding, if any, in the observation pipes, and a visual <br /> inspection for any evidence of surface seepage or discharge ftom the component. On steeply sloping <br /> sites, areas of erosion should be identified and reported to the owner for repair. The surface discharge or <br /> domestic wastewater or sewage from the system is prohibited and considered a human health hazard. <br /> Trnffie around or over the soil absorption component should be avoided particularly during winter <br /> months. The compaction or removal of snow cover over the component may lead to hydraulic failure by <br /> freezing. This type of failure is usually temporary, but is difficult or impossible to repair until weather <br /> conditions improve. in general, soil compaction over this component will reduce diffusion of oxygen into <br /> the soil and dispersal cell, which may lead to more intense, and earlier, organic clogging of the soil. <br /> Plantings of deep-rooted trees and shrubs directly over or within ten feet of the component should be <br /> avoided since root intrusion into the component may obstruct wastewater flow. <br /> m <br /> The pump (dosing) tank shall be inspected at least once every 3 years. All switches, alarms, and pumps <br /> shall be tested to verify proper operation. If the effluent filter is installed within the tank it shall be <br /> inspected and serviced as necessary. <br /> PLEASE CONTACT THE NAMES BELOW WITH QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS: <br /> B URNETT COUNTY ZONING(71 S)349-2138 <br /> WADE RUFS14OLM <br /> A-I SEPTIC (7 I S)349-7286 <br /> (715)656-7007 <br />
