Management Plan for a Septic Tank and Soil Absorption Con,ponent <br /> of an assessment, maintenance personnel shall advise the owner of omen the next sen.,ice <br /> needs to be performed to maintain less than maximum scum and sludge accumulation n !ne <br /> t rir: <br /> Manhole risers, access risers and covers should be Inspected for water tightness anc <br /> soundness. Access openings used for service and assessment shall be sealed watertight upon <br /> tr e completion of service. Any opening deemed unsound, defective, or subject to failure must <br /> be replaced. Exposed access openings greater than 8-inches in diameter shall be secured b <br /> an effective locking device to prevent accidental or unauthorized entry into the tank. <br /> No one should enter ai! $Optic or other treatment or holding tank for <br /> any reason without being In full compliance with OSHA standards for <br /> entering a confined space. The atmosphere within the septic or other <br /> treatrrrent or holding tank may contain letha;Il gases, and rescue of a <br /> Person from the Interior of the tank may be difficult or Impossible. <br />- Tank abandonment shall be in accordance with Comm 83.33, Wis. Adm. Code when the <br /> Mm: is no longer used as a POWTS component. <br /> SailAbsior_ ptiont_cmponent <br /> The soil absorption component serving this structure is designed to accept domesuc <br /> wa;,tewater from a residential facility. The limits of operation of this component are shown in <br /> Tabie 2.. <br /> The longevity of a soil absorption component depends greatly on proper and timely <br /> maintenance, and system use within or below the limits of reliable operation. Good water <br /> conservation practices by all occupants and the installation of water conserving plurrlbing <br /> 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 leas; <br /> once. every three years, The Inspection shall Include recording the levels of ponding, if an n <br /> the observation pipes, and a visual Inspection for any evidence of surface seepage or discharge <br /> from the component. On steeply sloping sites, areas of erosion should be identified and <br /> reported to the owner for repair. The surface discharge of domestic wastevater or c,ewaa <br /> ;corn the system is prohibited and considered a hurnan health har.;ard. <br /> Traffic around or over the soil absorption component should be avoided particularly <br /> -turirig winter rnonths. The compaction or removal of snow cover over the component mai lead <br /> !o hydraulic failure by freezing.' This type of failure Is usually temporary, but is difficult or <br /> mpossible to repair until weather conditions improve. In general, soil compaction over this <br /> corroonent will reduce diffusion of oxygen into the soil and dispersal cell, which may lead to <br /> 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 <br /> component should be avoided since root Intrusion into the component may obstruct wastewater <br /> 'low <br /> P.imo T nk <br /> The aumo tdo§ing) tank shall be inspected at least once every3 years..
