Access openings used for service and assessment shall be sealed watertight upon <br /> the 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 F�ffective locking device to prevent accidental or unauthorized entry into the tank. <br /> No one should enter a septic or other treatment or holding tank for <br /> any reason without being In full compliance with 0SHA standards for <br /> entering a confined space. The atmosphere within the septic or other <br /> treatment ar holding tank may contain lethal gasses, 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.

Code when the <br /> lam, is no longer used as a POWTS component. <br /> Soil Abstor tion i` <br /> _ .nm��n�nt <br /> The soil absorption component serving this structure is designed to accept domestic <br /> wastewater from a residential facility. The limits of operation of this component are mown in <br /> Table 2. <br /> The longevity of a soil absorption component depends greatly on proper and time y <br /> maintenance, and system use within or below the Ilmits of reliable operation Good water <br /> conservation practices by all occupants and the installation of water conserving plumbing <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 any, 'r- <br /> the observation pipes, and a visual inspection for any evidence of surface seepage or discharge <br /> frorn the component. On steeply sloping sites, areas of etroslon should be identified and <br /> reperted to the owner for repair. The surface discharge of domestic wastev.,ater or se,age <br /> 'rom the system is prohibited and considered a human health hlaxard. <br /> Traffic around or over the soil absorption component should be avoided particular'', <br /> --uring winter months. The compaction or removal of snow cover over the component ma ieac <br /> 'o hydraulic failure by freezing.' This type of failure Is usually temporary, but is difficult or <br /> rmpc,ssible to repair until weather conditions improve. In general, soll compaction over this <br /> component will reduce diffusion of oxygen into the soil and dispersal cell, which may lead to <br /> ^ ore 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 /> glow <br /> Pumn T ink <br /> Tn_ sumo (dosing) tank shall be inspected at least once every 3 years.
