Absorption system definition
Absorption system means a leaching field and adjacent soils or other system for the treatment of sewage in an On-site Wastewater Treatment System by means of absorption into the ground. See Soil treatment area.
Absorption system means a device constructed to receive and to distribute effluent in such a manner that the effluent is effectively filtered and retained below ground surface.
Absorption system means a covered system constructed to receive and to disperse effluent, from gravity or a pump, in such a manner that the effluent is effectively filtered and retained below the ground surface.
More Definitions of Absorption system
Absorption system or “Drainfield” means any secondary treatment system including absorption trenches, elevated sand mounds, and evapotranspiration absorption (ETA) systems used for the subsurface disposal of pretreated waste effluent (DEQ 4).
Absorption system means a system constructed under the surface of the ground which receives and distributes effluent from a pretreatment device effectively filtering the effluent through soil or media.
Absorption system means a leaching field and adjacent soils or other system for the treatment of sewage in an individual sewage disposal ON-SITE WASTEWATER TREATMENT system by means of absorption into the ground.
Absorption system means a system constructed under the surface of the ground which receives and distributes effluent from a pretreatment device effectively filtering the effluent through soil or media. “Absorption surface” means the interface where treated effluent infiltrates into native or fill soil.
Absorption system means the part of a sewage disposal system in which septic tank effluent is distributed below the ground surface by means of drain tile, and is distributed into trenches, beds, seepage pits, or other approved structures to be absorbed and treated by the surrounding soil, and thence dispersed by evaporation, transpiration, or percolation.
