Home Sewage Treatment Systems Sample Clauses

Home Sewage Treatment Systems. The significant portion of the population of the Grand Lake/Wabash River watershed relies on a home sewage treatment system (HSTS) for wastewater elimination and treatment. According to the 2000 census data, there are 14,756 housing units in Mercer County, of which approximately 9,884 are served by centralized sewer systems. This leaves an approximate number of 4,872 home sewage treatment systems to be dealt with accordingly. The predominate form of HSTS in the watershed is a subsurface sand filter system. This system employs a septic tank, in which solids settle out of the effluent, a distribution box directing the liquid into perforated tiles, and a sand ―bed‖ approximately two feet deep. The sand bed is used to allow treatment above the soil, since soils with slow permeability and seasonal saturation in the subsoil dominate the watershed. Beneficial micro-organisms, which further breakdown the wastewater, build up a layer known as a biomat. The sand in the bed clarifies the water as the water passes through, and at the end of the process, the bacteria and suspended solids have been greatly reduced. The second highest grouping falls in the ―pre-regulation‖ time period. These homes were built long before installation permits and inspections were required. When considering soil types of the watershed and the life-span of the treatment systems, logic can suggest that many of these systems are failing to treat the wastewater effectively. In recent time, however, a significant number of these systems have been upgraded to a more capable treatment system. The Ohio Department of Health issued new septic system regulations which took effect on January 1, 2007. Under these new rules, all new homes or proposed residential developments will require the following items: (1) a detailed soil profile description; (2) a topographic map with one-foot contour lines; (3) a detailed sewage system design plan; and (4) septic system installers must take a State competency test and acquire continuing education credits. Off-lot discharging sewage systems will be highly restricted, as new lots must be capable of supporting on-lot soil absorption systems. Two feet of separation between the seasonal perched water table and the sewage infiltrative surface will be required. Existing septic systems that are operational will not be required to upgrade their septic systems to the new design requirements; however failing systems will be required to upgrade.
