Mound System Management Plan <br /> Pursuant to Comm 63.54,Wis.Adm. Code <br /> Genera[ <br /> This system shall be operated in accordance with Comm 82-84 Wis.Adm.Code,and shall maintained In accordance with Its'component <br /> manuals[SBD-10891-P(N.01,O1)and SSWMP Publication 8.6(01/81))and local or state rules pertaining to system maintenance and <br /> maintenance reporting. <br /> No one should ever enter a septic or pump tank since dangerous gases may be present that could cause death. <br /> Septic and pump tank abandonment shall be in accordance with Comm 83.33,Wis.Adm.Code when the tanks are no longer used as <br /> POWTS components. <br /> Septi or pump tank manhole risers,access risers and covers should be inspected for water tightness and soundness. Access openings <br /> used for service and assessment shall be sealed watertight upon the completion of service. Any opening deemed unsound.defective,or <br /> subject to failure must be replaced. Exposed access openings greater than 8-inches in diameter shall be secured by an effective locking <br /> device to prevent accidental or unauthorized entry Into a tank or component. <br /> Septic Tank <br /> The septic tank shall be maintained by an individual certified to service septic tanks under s.261.46,Stab. The contents of the septic tank <br /> shall be disposed of in accordance with NR 113,Wis.Adm.Code. The operating condition of the septic tank and outlet Hier shall be assessed <br /> at least once every 3 years by Inspection. <br /> The outlet filter shall be cleaned as necessary to ensure proper operation. The filter cartridge should not be removed unless provisions are <br /> made to retain solids in the tank that may slough off the filler when removed from its enclosure. If the filter is equipped with an alarm,the filter <br /> shall be serviced if the alarm is activated continuously. Intermittent filter alarms may indicate surge flows or an impending continuous alarm. <br /> The septic tank shall have Its cordenb removed when the volume of sludge and scum in the tank exceeds 10 the liquid volume of the tank. If <br /> the contents of the tank are not removed at the time of a triennial assessment,maintenance personnel shall advise the owner of when the next <br /> service needs to be performed to maintain less than maximum scum and sludge accumulation in the tank. <br /> The addition of biological or chemical additives to enhance septi:tank performance Is generally not required. However,if such products <br /> are used they shall be approved for septic tank use by the Department of Commerce. <br /> Pump Tank <br /> The pump(dosing)tank shall be inspected at least once every 3 years. All switches,alarms,and pumps shall be tested to verify proper <br /> operation. If an effluent filter Is kretalled within the tank lt shall be inspected and serviced as necessary. <br /> Mound and Pressure Dlstrlbutlon System <br /> No trees or shrubs should be planted on the mound. Plantings may be made around the mound's perimeter,and the mound shall <br /> be seeded and mulched as necessary to prevent erosion and to provide some protection from frost penetration. Traffic(other than for vegetative <br /> maintenance)on the mound is not recommended since soil compaction may hinder aeration of the infiltrative surface within the mound and snow <br /> compaction in the winter will promote frost penetration. Colo weather Installations(October-February)dictate that the mound be heavily mulched <br /> as protection from freezing. <br /> Influent quality into the mound system may not exceed 220 mg/L BOD&150 mgA.TSS,and 30 mg/L FOG for septic tank effluent or <br /> 30 mg/L BODS,30 mg1L TSS,10 mg/L FOG,and 10 cfu/100 ml for highly treated effluent. Influent flow may not exceed maximum design flow <br /> specified in the permit for this installation. <br /> The pressure distribution system Is provided with a flushing point at the end of each lateral,and it is recommended that each lateral be flushed <br /> of accumulated solkds at least once every 18 months. When a pressure test is performed it should be compared to the Initial teat when the <br /> system was installed to determine if orifice clogging has occurred and H orifice Cleaning is required to maintain equal distribution within the <br /> dispersal cell. <br /> Observation pipes within the dispersal cell shall be checked for effluent ponding. Ponding levels shall be reported to the owner,and any levels <br /> above 6 Inches considered as an Impending hydraulic failure requiring additional,more frequent monitoring. <br /> Contingency Plan <br /> If the septic tank or any of Its components become defective the tank or component shall be repaired or replaced to keep the system <br /> in proper operating condition. <br /> If the dosing tank,pump,pump controls,alarm or related wiring becomes defective the defective component(s)shall be Immediately <br /> repaired or replaced with a component of the same or equal performance. <br /> If the mound component falls to accept wastewater or begins to discharge wastewater to the ground surface,it will be repaired or replaced In <br /> Its'present location by increasing basal area if toe leakage occurs or by removing biologically cloyed absorption and dispersal media,and related <br /> piping,and replacing said components as deemed necessary to brig the system Into proper operating condition. <br /> See Page 6 of this plan for the name and telephone number of your keel POWTS regulator and service provider. <br /> Project: Page 6 of 9 <br />
