Subsurface soil absorption system definition

Subsurface soil absorption system means a system of perforated conduits connected to a distribution system, forming a series of subsurface, water-carrying channels into which the primary treated effluent is discharged for direct absorption into the soil (referred to as part of the open portion of the treatment system).
Subsurface soil absorption system. (SSAS) means a soil dispersal component of trenches or beds containing either a distribution pipe within a layer of drainrock covered with a geotextile, or an approved gravelless distribution technology, designed and installed in original, undisturbed, unsaturated soil providing at least minimal vertical separation as established in this chapter, with either gravity or pressure distribution of the treatment component effluent.
Subsurface soil absorption system means a soil dispersal component of trenches three feet or less in width or beds between three and ten feet in width, containing either a distribution pipe within a layer of drainrock covered with a geotextile, or an approved gravelless distribution technology, designed and installed in original, undisturbed unsaturated soil providing at least minimal vertical separation as established in this manual, with either gravity or pressure distribution of the treatment component effluent, for the purpose of receiving effluent and transmitting it into the soil.
