O5 S-iS <br /> START UP AND OPERATION: For new construction, prior to use of the POWTS check treatment tank(s)for the presence of <br /> painting products or other chemicals that may impede the treatment process and/or damage the dispersal cell(s). If high <br /> concentrations are detected have the contents of the tank(s) removed by a septage servicing operator prior to use. System start <br /> up shall not occur when soil conditions are frozen at the infiltrative surface. <br /> During power outages pump tanks may fill above normal highwater levels. When power is restored the excess wastewater <br /> will be discharged to the dispersal cell(s) in one large dose, overloading the cell(s)and may result in the backup or surface <br /> discharge of effluent. To avoid this situation have the contents of the pump tank removed by a Septage Servicing Operator <br /> prior to restoring power to the effluent pump or contact a Plumber or POWTS Maintainer to assist in manually operating the <br /> pump controls to restore normal levels within the pump tank. <br /> Do not drive or park vehicles over tanks and dispersal cells. Do not drive or park over, or otherwise disturb or compact, the <br /> area within 15 feet down slope of any mound or at-grade soil absorption area. <br /> Reduction or elimination of the following from the wastewater stream may improve the performance and prolong the life of the <br /> POWTS: antibiotics; baby wipes; cigarette butts; condoms; cotton swabs; degreasers; dental floss; diapers; disinfectants; fat; <br /> foundation drain(sump pump)water; fruit and vegetable peelings; gasoline; grease; herbicides; meat scraps; medications; oil; <br /> painting products; pesticides; sanitary napkins; tampons; and water softener brine. . <br /> ABANDONEMENT:When the POWTS fails and/or is permanently taken out of service the following steps shall be taken to <br /> Insure that the system is properly and safely abandoned in compliance with ch. Comm 83.33,Wisconsin Administrative Code: <br /> • All piping to tanks and pits shall be disconnected and the abandoned pipe openings sealed. <br /> • The contents of all tanks and pits shall be removed and properly disposed of by a Septage Servicing Operator. <br /> • After pumping, all tanks and pits shall be excavated and removed or their covers removed and the void space filled <br /> with soil, gravel or another inert solid material. <br /> CONTINGENCY PLAN: If the POWTS fails and cannot be repaired the following measures have been, or must be taken, <br /> to provide a code compliant replacement system: <br /> ❑ A suitable replacement area has been evaluated and may be utilized for the location of a replacement soil absorption <br /> system. The replacement area should be protected from disturbance and compaction and should not be infringed upon by <br /> required setbacks from existing and proposed structure, lot lines and wells. Failure to protect the replacement area will <br /> result in the need for a new soil and site evaluation to establish a suitable replacement area. Replacement systems must <br /> comply with the rules in effect at that time. <br /> ❑ A suitable replacement area is not available due to setback and/or soil limitations. Barring advances in POWTS technology <br /> a holding tank may be installed as a last resort to replace the failed POWTS. <br /> ❑ The site has not been evaluated to identify a suitable replacement area. Upon failure of the POWTS a soil and site <br /> evaluation must be performed to locate a suitable replacement area. If no replacement area is available a holding tank <br /> may be installed as a last resort to replace the failed POWTS. <br /> ❑ Mound and at-grade soil absorption systems may be reconstructed in place following removal of the biomat at the <br /> infiltrative surface. Reconstructions of such systems must comply with the rules in effect at that time. <br /> «WARNING»SEPTIC, PUMP AND OTHER TREATMENT TANKS MAY CONTAIN LETHAL GASSES AND/OR INSUFFICIENT <br /> OXYGEN. DO NOT ENTER A SEPTIC, PUMP OR OTHER TREATMENT TANK UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. DEATH MAY <br /> RESULT. RESCUE OF A PERSON FROM THE INTERIOR OF A TANK MAY BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE.. <br /> ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: <br /> POWTS INSTALLER POWTS MAINTAINER <br /> Name IL K.ffm, Name <br /> Phone I 71'e 7(� 34 93 Phone <br /> SEPTAGE SERVICING OPERATOR PUMPER LOCAL REGULATORY AUTHORITY <br /> Name Agency <br /> Phone Phone <br />
