' t-inagement Plan for a Septic Tank and Soil Absorption Component <br /> tir : ;ment, maintenance personnel shall advise the owner of when the next service <br /> ne ; r formed to maintain less than maximum scum and sludge accumulation in the <br /> tan. <br /> )Ie risers, access risers and covers should be inspected for water tightness and <br /> sol� ;,ess openings used for service and assessment shall be sealed watertight upon <br /> th f service. Any opening deemed unsound, defective, or subject to failure must <br /> be exposed access openings greater than 8-inches in diameter shall be secured by <br /> an c I ,-king device to prevent accidental or unauthorized entry into the tank. <br /> r,ne should enter a septic or other treatment or holding tank for <br /> . Cason without being in full compliance with OSHA standards for <br /> ,ring a confined space. The atmosphere within the septic or other <br /> reatment or holding tank may contain lethal gases, and rescue of a <br /> -erson from the interior of the tank may be difficult or impossible. <br /> 3"andonment shall be in accordance with Comm 83.33, Wis. Adm. Code when the <br /> tai•' rger used as a POWTS component. <br /> Soil Absorption Component <br /> scil absorption component serving this structure is designed to accept domestic <br /> wr frim a residential facility. The limits of operation of this component are shown in <br /> Tc._ <br /> longevity of a soil absorption component depends greatly on proper and timely <br /> mai ;e, and system use within or below the limits of reliable operation. Good water <br /> cen ;n practices by all occupants and the installation of water conserving plumbing <br /> fixe. , key factors in extending the useful life of this component. <br /> soil absorption component's operation must be assessed by inspection at least <br /> one , three years. The inspection shall include recording the levels of ponding, if any, in <br /> the ,tion pipes, and a visual inspection for any evidence of surface seepage or discharge <br /> fror )mponent. On steeply sloping sites, areas of erosion should be identified•and <br /> rep ) the owner for repair. The surface discharge of domestic wastewater or sewage <br /> fro Ystem is prohibited and considered a human health hazard. <br /> iffic around or over the soil absorption component should be avoided particularly <br /> duri ter months. The compaction or removal of snow cover over the component may lead <br /> to f' c failure by freezing. This type of failure is usually temporary, but is difficult or <br /> IMF to repair until weather conditions improve. In general, soil compaction over this <br /> cor it will reduce diffusion of oxygen into the soil and dispersal cell, which may lead to <br /> ma ise, and earlier, organ,ic_clogging of the soil. <br /> :intings of deep-rooted trees and shrubs directly over or within ten feet of the <br /> con A should be avoided since root intrusion into the component may obstruct wastewater <br /> flov, <br /> 2 <br />
