Soil Absorption Component <br /> The soil absorption component serving this structure is designed tc accept domestic <br /> wastewater from a residential facility. The limits of operation of this component are <br /> shown in Table 2. <br /> The longevity of a sail absorption component depends greatly on proper and timely <br /> maintenance, and system use within or below the tirtrits of rellable operation. Good <br /> water conservation practices by all occupants and the Installation of water conserving <br /> plumbing fixtures are key factors In extending the useful life of this component. <br /> The soil absorption component's operation must be assessed by Inspection at least <br /> once every three years. The Inspection shall Include recording the levels of ponding, if <br /> any, to the observation pipes,and a visual inspection for any evidence of surface <br /> seepage or discharge from the component. On steeply sloping sites, areas of erosion <br /> should be identified and reported to the.owner for repair. The surface discharge of <br /> domestic wastewater or sewage from the system Is prohibited and considered a human <br /> health hazard. <br /> Traffic around or over the soil absorption component should be avoided particularly <br /> during winter months. The compaction or removal of snow cover over the component <br /> may lead to hydraulic failure by freezing. This We of failure Is usually temporary, but is <br /> difficult or impossible to repair until weather conditions Improve. In general, soil <br /> compaction over this component will reduce diffusion of oxygen Into the soil and <br /> dispersal cell, which may lead to more intense, and earlier, organic dogging of the soil. <br /> Plantings of deep-rooted tries and shrubs directly over or within ten feet of the <br /> component should be avoided since root intrusion Into the component may obstruct <br /> wastewater flow. . <br /> tclm& apprnn a box or foxes that gw1ys <br /> i rn ut-1 —tern <br /> Cl At-grade system <br /> 1771 Mound system <br /> Cl Holding tanks <br /> D Alternate area provided as evidenced with additional pits and borings <br /> 0 Ahetnate dispersal area does not exist as evidenced by additional pits and <br /> borings.
