Tank to be equipped with influent baffle/drop tube and outlet drop tube and rigid effluent filter with 1/16 " orifice size. Suggested effluent filter: Clarus Environmental WW1 (Zoeller Pumps) Effluent Filter Part No. 170-0078. Gravity-Flow Transport Pipelines: 4-inch PVC ASTM D-3034 sloped 2% (¼ inch per ft) from proposed source(s) to septic tank. 4-inch PVC ASTM D-3034 from septic tank to distribution box, sloped as needed. Pipe runs equipped with long-sweep clean-outs, positioned as needed, secured at surface for expected >30-year lifetime. Distribution Box: Plastic or Concrete D-Box with at least seven effluent connections at the same elevation. Unit bedded with pea gravel. Effluent connections equipped with speed-levelers. D-Box equipped with riser, equipped with secured lid. Gravity Drainfield: Seven 3-ft wide x 41-ft long gravel trenches, installed horizontally, with infiltrative surface approximately 19 to 27 -inches below ground surface. One 4"-diameter perforated PVC distribution lateral per trench, fitted with long-sweep sanitary tee at the distal end, with slip cap, not glued, to serve both as lateral end clean-out and infiltrative surface inspection port. 4-inch PVC upswept lateral ends shall be end-sawed to loosen connection with end caps , to prevent caps from sticking. Distal ends installed within ≥6"-diameter cylindrical utility vaults (or equivalent) extending 1-2" above grade, capped, secured and marked. Construction Notes Septic System Layout: The septic system designer must supervise layout of the system prior to excavating . Laser leveling or similarly precise systems must be used for leveling, to ensure precisely horizontal infiltrative surfaces . Septic Tank Placement: The tank excavation must have a horizontal bottom prior to adding bedding material. Six inches (6") of pea gravel bedding must be provided to properly support tank in order for tank warranty to remain effective . If shallow groundwater is encountered during tank installation , a newly-installed tank should be filled with water to prevent floating , in case groundwater rises around it. Tank must be covered with a 1-ft minimum thickness compacted soil, or structural fill, to a maximum cover of 3-ft, unless a heavy load-rated tank is used. Risers: Access risers should be installed above septic tank openings. Risers and lids should extend 2 to 3 inches above grade to help prevent debris from falling into risers upon opening. Tank access risers shall be bonded to integral rings built into tank openings, using 3M™ Marine 5200 Adhesive Sealant, or equal, or better. Monitoring Ports: Future septic system inspections will be simplified with properly-installed monitoring ports at key points in the drainfield, at least two per lateral. Monitoring ports should extend down to the bottom of the drain rock layer , no deeper than 27 inches below the pre-disturbance ground surface. Monitoring ports must be installed during drainfield construction and prior to covering. They must be anchored by any of several means, in order to maintain their stability for several decades. Using wood or other biodegradable materials is not recommended for anchoring/stabilizing systems. Sheet 1 of 4.
