SECTION V - SYSTEM INSTALLATION,;
The fields will be flagged by the Soil Scientist on contour along the centerline. The areas shall be
barricaded to be protected from unauthorized vehicular traffic.
Site shall be cleared of dead trees and underbrush, which could be detrimental to the system during
and after installation. All debris by removed by system installer only. Drip irrigation lines shall be
installed on contour. Drip irrigation lines shall be installed on the ground surface after the ground
surface has been cleared and smoothed to allow for surface water to shed properly off of the disposal
area. The tubing shall be installed on the surface with care to be certain that tubing is not kinked or
deformed. Prior to installation, the area shall be hand raked smooth to drain and to prepare for
installation.
No work shall be preformed on the drip field under wet conditions. "If it is too wet to plow," it is too wet
to work on drip field. The Contractor shall avoid the smearing of the wetted surface and should this
occur, work shall be suspended. After installation of the lines, the ground surface shall be shaped to
allow good surface drainage to prevent ponding of surface water. All disturbed areas shall be raked
smooth and covered according to specifications.
Drip Irrigation Tubing Storage and Handling
The drip irrigation tubing should be kept in the shade due to temperature sensitivity of the tubing and
away from exposure to direct sunlight except during the actual installation process.
Construction Sequence
Rule of Thumb: "If soil is too wet to plow," it is too wet to install the system.
1. Lay out drip irrigation field network area with stakes and flagging to ten feet (minimum) beyond
the limits of the line. As soon as the absorption area is designated, it should be flagged, roped
off and isolated from construction traffic: This barrier should be maintained until the Owner
accepts the system. Refer to site plan for the size of absorption area and field locations.
Observe all side yard, building, and other setback restrictions.
2. Clear site of any and all man-made debris, construction materials, etc. Dispose of legally. Cut
all dead trees and underbrush in the area of disposal field flush with the ground. Do not
remove any stumps with any earth moving equipment.
3. Prior to actually beginning construction of the system, verify invert elevations of all tanks,
carefully locate, lay out and identify disposal site, manifolds and the drip piping networks, using
a tripod mounted engineer's leveling instrument to accurately establish each lateral along a
level contour. (A 2' minimum drip line separation must be maintained centerline to centerline.)
4. Install drip lines, piping, valves, and headworks. Ensure good bedding and cover and uniform
slope as specified. All valve boxes shall be flush with the ground and clear of debris.
5. Install septic tank, textile filter module, drip dosing tank and UV disinfection at elevation to
allow proper operation. The dosing tanks will contain a pump and a pump enabling float
switch, a pump disabling float switch and a high water alarm float switch. The drip -dosing
tank will be set at elevation to receive gravity from the filter. All components shall be
checked and proper flow verified.
6. Perform leak test on tanks as called for herein. Provide riser access as called for
7. Carefully backfill tanks and trenches to finish grade with clean debris free earth (no stone).
8. Install pumps, filters, fittings and floats.
9. Install control system and wire per NC Building Code and NEC. Contractor shall verify
available electrical power before ordering components. Provide and connect to properly
sized and number of breakers in the main panel board.
Final Landscaping: After the system is installed, the following should be checked to ensure that the
system will not be overloaded with excess rainwater and run-off.
Parcel #2 Winding Trail Road Page 9 May 21, 2004
Concord, Cabarrus County, NC Revised September 22, 2004

(a) The drip field is prepared to shed rainwater and is free of low area.
(b) Curtain drains, grassy swales or ditches for diverting ground and surface vu
installed.
(c) Leave the drip disposal area with a natural mulch cover.
(d) Gutter and downspout drains are directed away from the system.
Any problems should be corrected before approving the system.
Finally, all disturbed area should be planted with grass according to specifica
SECTION VI - OPERATING CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS (START-UP)
A. The system shall consist of one 1,000-gallon septic tank with slotted filter, Advantex textile
containing module with cover, UV disinfection and vault, 2,500 gallon drip field dosing chamber and
drip field with pump, headworks, controls and other apparatus.
All components of the system shall be checked and taken through a complete test cycle in the
presence of the Owner's Engineer and to his satisfaction. If the test fails, adjustments shall be made
and the test repeated until the system is determined to operate properly.
Septic Tank: Check water level, inlet pipe, outlet pipe and slotted filter. Verify that the filter can be
removed for service.
Textile Filter: Using manufacturer's instruction, become familiar with filter components and operation.
UV Disinfection: Using manufacturer's instruction, become familiar with filter components and
operation.
Drip System Dosing Tank Pump control - Sequence of Operation: Effluent fills tank to level that will
activate the "Pump Enabling" float. Pump can now operate. The control panel will be set to allow the
prescribed pump cycles per day based on customer setting of the programmable timer. When a pump
is called for service, and the level in the dosing tank permits, the zone valve and filter flush valve will
open. After an adjustable time, the filter flush valve will close, and the system will continue to dose the
active drip zone for the operator selectable time.
Dosing Cycle: All zones are dosed individually on an alternating_ basis so that each field is dosed once
every other dosing cycle. The appropriate zone valve opens, the Pump doses that zone for 9.74
minutes and then the zone valve closes and the pump stops.
After an operator defined number of cycles (field adjustable prime numbers), the field flush valve and
one zone valve will open for one cycle. At the'end of the dose, the pump stops and the field flush and
zone valves close. Since the flush cycle is to be set at an odd interval (prime number), the next flush
cycle will fall on the opposite zone.
The pump shall operate delivering a timer controlled predetermined dose to the designated drip field.
The pump shall also shut off when the low water level "pump off' switch is activated.
If the "high water alarm" float switch is activated, the controller shall activate audible and flashing
alarm systems. Once energized, the flashing and audible alarm unit must be shut-off manually. After
installation, each field shall be independently pressurized and the function and operating pressure
checked to verify compliance with the specifications and required wetted area shown on the Plans.
System pressure is to be obtained at the Schrader Valves located at the ends of the manifolds as
shown on the plans. The pressure and flow reading shall be recorded for comparison with
future readings. The operator cannot tell if the system is operating properly unless he has this
info.

SOIL SCIENTIST'S REPORT

September 20, 2004
Project # 2-1499
Mr. Lee Spencer
4716 Maple Knoll Avenue
Charlotte, North Carolina 28212
Re: Revised Soils Report for Proposed Residential Surface Drip Irrigation System
Dear Mr. Spencer:
Soil & Environmental. Consultants, PA. (S&EC) has performed a soil/site evaluation on
Parcel 2 located off Flowes Store Road in Cabarrus County, NC. This was performed at
your request as part of a preliminary planning process in order to determine areas of soil,
which have potential for a surface drip irrigation wastewater disposal system. This report
details S&EC findings and provides the necessary soil/site information needed for a
surface irrigation system to be designed.
The site is located in the southern portion of Cabarrus County, N.C. An USDA Natural
Resource Conservation Service soil survey for Cabarrus County was available for use in
utilizing recorded maps and data for the soil at this site. The upland soils on the site are
most like the Enon soil series. A profile description is attached. Site 1 was advanced to
72 inches. The site consists of upland sideslopes. Expansive clay mineralogy in the
subsoil of the examined area can be an unsuitable condition for subsurface disposal of
wastewater. The more coarsely textured topsoil on the site offers the opportunity for
surface drip application of treated wastewater. The slower permeability and/or high
cation exchange capacity of the subsoil prevent nutrients from being a limiting factor in
the design of a drip irrigation system. The proposed drip field boundary was flagged in
the field using orange S&EC logo flagging. The approximate size and shape of the
potentially usable soil area is shown on the attached sketch map.
The soil conditions in the proposed site area are described in the accompanying soil
profile description. The site is forested land with slopes that range up to approximately
12%. The attached water balance shows that the site can hydraulically assimilate 24.99
inches of irrigation water per year. This is approximately equivalent to 0.48 inches per
week. A three -bedroom house (360 gallons per day design flow) would require a
minimum of 8,375 square feet of wetted area for spray/drip application. The maximum
instantaneous application rate should not exceed 0.2 inches per hour.
Site disturbance should be absolutely minimized on the area to be used for drip
application of wastewater. If the existing vegetation is to be removed, then special care

-emoved by hand) should be utilized in this removal process. Site disturbance
to unsuitable conditions for a drip system. A permanent vegetative cover
immediately established and maintained over the entire application field after
1.
Calculations
1. Maximum Instantaneous Application Rate (in/hr)
Utilizing the attached Table 1 for typical ranges of soil infiltration rates the Enon
soil falls into the sandy loam class in the 9+% slope range. This infiltration rate is
0.15 to 0.5 in/hr. The recommended rate is 0.2 in/hr.
2. Water Balance (Table 3)
A water balance was developed for the proposed irrigation field by
balancing water losses and gains:
Evapotranspiration + Natural runoff + Drainage = Precipitation + Irrigation
3. Data Inputs
A. Potential Evapotranspiration (PET)
PET data were obtained from the North Carolina University
Experiment Station Bulletin 396, "Weather and Climate in North
Carolina". Data for the Piedmont region was used.
B. Drainage (DR)
The drainage term was calculated by the procedure described in
US EPA 625/1-77--008, "Process Design Manual for Land
Treatment of Municipal Wastewater". The percolation, or
drainage rate was calculated as 7% of the permeability of the most
restrictive horizon in the soil. The rate used was 0.06 in/hr (lower
subsoil). Thus 7% of 0.06 is 0.0042 in/hr or 0.10 in/day. Input for this
figure is based on 31, 30, and 28 day months.
C. Natural Runoff (NR)
Since the system is designed to operate with no runoff, only the
existing runoff is used in the calculation. This is the amount which
occurs due to rainfall events of intensities of 0.5 in/hr or more
which is about 10% or less of total rainfall.

Precipitation (PPT)
Precipitation data were obtained from the Cabarrus County Soil Survey.
This data was gathered from 1951-1973 at Concord, North Carolina. The
total rainfall from the 2 years in 10 column listed in the soil survey was
utilized which was 49.45 inches. The monthly totals were taken as a
percentage of this total rainfall. The yearly total was utilized to determine
average application rates.
The water balance application rates are assumed to be maximum rates in a 2 years in 10
rainfall year with normal distribution. Actual application rates will depend on actual'
precipitation during a given year.
Specifications:
Assumed Design flow - 360 gal/day
Allowable Irrigation Rate - 0.043 gal/Oday (0.48 in/week) (0.0029 in/hr)
Total minimum area needed for sprayfield — 8,372 if (wetted area)
Maximum Instantaneous Application Rate- 0.2 in/hr
The area required is the minimum wetted area needed for treated wastewater application.
The usable soil area indicated on the attached map was flagged (numbered 1-13) by
S&EC, and estimated to be in excess of 13,000 ftz. The delineated area and property lines
should be surveyed to make sure all setback requirements are met. The area flagged by
S&EC is more than enough area for the septic system. By flagging out more area than is
needed it gives you and your engineer more options on system placement and type.
Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA. is pleased to be of service in this matter and we
look forward to assisting in any site analysis needs you may have in the future. Please
feel free to call with any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Steven M. Price
Licensed Soil Scientist #1153

Mini-Clik Rain Sensors
Installation Instructions
tallations, the Mini-Clik acts as a switch to break the circuit to the
FM valves of the irrigation system when it has rained. This allows the timer
Fiance as scheduled, but keeps the valves from opening the water flow.
the Mini-Clik has dried sufficiently, the switch closes again to allow for
rl operation.
The Mini-Clik has two blue wires connected to a 25 foot extension.
For the Model Mini-Clik-C: This rain sensor unit is the same as the standard
model except for the lack of an aluminum mounting bracket and the addition of
a 1/2" threaded cap, which allows for the easy use of electrical conduit to totally
enclose the wires. Unless local code states otherwise, plumbing grade PVC pipe
can be used as well as electrical grade conduit.
For the Model Mini-Clik-HV. This rain sensor unit is designed to be used
with automatic irrigation systems of two principle designs: 1) single -station
electrical timer (e.g., Intermatic) that switches power to a pump, either directly
or through a relay; or 2) single -station electrical timer that switches power to a
solenoid valve.
Standard Model:
Using the screws provided, mount the Mini-Clik on any surface where it will be
exposed to unobstructed rainfall, but not in the path of sprinkler spray. The
switch -housing portion must be upright (as pictured), but the swivel -bracket can
be moved for mounting on any angled surface. Loosen the locknut and screw
before swiveling bracket,
and then re -tighten.
For the Conduit Model
Mini-Clik-C:
The conduit acts as the
mounting support for the
unit. Therefore, place
and mount the conduit
to allow for the desired
sensor location as
described in the main
instructions for the
standard model. Be sure
to support the conduit
sufficiently along its
various lengths.
For the High -Voltage
Model Mini-Clik-HV:
The mounting of this unit
is primarily made by
screwing the fitting end
into the threaded holes of
covers to rectangular
junction boxes (for
outdoor use) or the
covers of round junction
boxes commonly used for
outdoor spotlights. Locate
the junction box so that
with the Mini-Clik
attached, unobstructed
rainfall will hit the
outermost sensing end of
the unit. If a longer reach is needed, the "Carlon" flexible conduit piece can be
substituted with a slightly longer piece (up to W length with no support or up to
11" with support).
Helpful hints for mounting:
A. When looking for a suitable location such as on the side of a building or post,
the closer the Mini-Clik is to the controller, the shorter the wire run will be.
This will also minimize the chance for wire breaks.
B. The ideal location for mounting is not always the most practical location. In
the case where a compromise must exist (such as low location on a side wall
rather than the preferred high location), note that the Mini-Clik will still work
as it will always receive some rainfall — it just will not be as accurate in its
gauging as it could be.
C. As described in the "Operation" section of this manual, "reset rate" refers to
the amount of time it takes the Mini-Clik to dry out sufficiently for the sprinkler
system to be allowed to come back on. The mounting location will affect this
rate and should be taken into consideration should extreme conditions exist.
For example, mounting the Mini-Clik on a very sunny, southern end of a
building may cause the Mini-Clik to dry out sooner than desired. Similarly,
mounting on the northern end of a building with constant shade may keep the
Mini-Clik from drying soon enough.
Once the Mini-Clik is mounted, run the wire to the controller, and fasten it every
few feet with wire clips or stapled for best results. If an extension to the wire
provided is needed, use the following table to determine the minimum wire
gauge needed:
If the extension needed is: 25-50 ft. 50-100 ft. 100 ft. or more
use: 20 AWG 18 AWG 16 AWG
Important: The Standard Model Mini-Clik is sold and designed for hook up to
24 Volt irrigation controllers only. For wiring to 110V or 220V irrigation controllers,
please consult your distributor or this factory. All wiring must conform to National
Electrical Code or applicable local codes.
For the Model Mini-Clik-C: WARNING! This unit is designed to be installed in
conjunction with 24VAC circuits only. Do not use with 110 or 220VAC circuits.
For the Model Mini-Clik-HV: WARNING! This unit must be installed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with National Electrical Code and applicable
local codes. The electrical rating of this device is 125-250VAC at 10.1 amps. Do
not let current pass through this device that exceeds this rating. Do not install
directly in line with any pump.
Wiring to the Hunter SRC
The Mini-Clik connects
directly to the SRC. This
allows you to easily override
the sensor by using the RUN
(BYPASS SENSOR) position
on the dial.
1. Route the wires from the
Mini-Clik up through the
same opening used for
valve wiring.
2. Connect one wire to the
RS terminal and other
to the C terminal (See
Figure 1).
3. Connect the valve common
to the RS terminal.
Wiring to the Hunter [CC
The Mini-Clik connects
directly to the ICC. This
allows you to easily override
the sensor by using the
Sensor switch on the front
panel.
1. Remove the jumper from
the two "SEN" terminals.
2. Route the wires from the
rain sensor up through the
same conduit opening
used for valve wiring.
3. Connect one wire to the
terminal labeled "SEN"
and the other wire to the
other "SEN" terminal (See
Figure 2).

your distributor or request
our "Non-standard"
wiring information packet
A. 24 Volt Solenoid Valves
Only (No booster pump)
(See Figure 3)
With the two wires from
the Mini-Clik at the
controller, locate the
"common ground" wire of
the solenoid valves. If it is
connected to the common
terminal on the controller,
disconnect it. Attach one
wire of the Mini-Clik to the
"common" terminal
(usually marked "C") on
the controller. Attach the
other wire of the Mini-Clik
to the common wire
leading to the valves.
Note: The common wire
to the valves does not
have to be interrupted
at the controller. The
Mini-Clik may be wired
anywhere along the
common wire line.
B. 24 Volt Solenoid Valves
with Booster Pump (See
Figure 4)
Locate the common wire
to the solenoid valves and
the common wire leading
to the coil of the relay that
starts the pump. If these
two wires are connected
to the "common" terminal
on the controller,
disconnect both of them.
Twist together these two
wires along with one wire
from the Mini-Clik, and
secure with a wire nut.
Attach the other wire of
the Mini-Clik to the
"common" terminal on the
controller. Note: The pump
circuit output must be 24
Volts in this situation. Do
not proceed if 110V.
C. Special Instructions for
Mini-Clik-HV (See Figures
5 and 6)
The two taped and
stripped wires are the
ones to be used when
following these accompa-
nying diagrams. The third
Wire should be terminated
with a wire nut (not sup-
plied). All wire connec-
tions with the Mini-Clik
should be made with wire
nuts and located in a
junction box.

timer, external or non-existent. If there is no relay in the circuit, one must be
added. The wiring for an internal or external relay is the same: the Mini-Clik
breaks the circuit to the coil of the relay only. Either wire of the coil may be
broken.
Operation Check to Verify Correct Wiring
Turn on one zone of the irrigation system that is visible while you are in reach
of the Mini-Clik. Manually depress the spindle at the top of the Mini-Clik until you
hear the switch "click" off. The sprinkler zone should stop instantaneously. If it
does not, check wiring for correctness. It is not necessary to `wet" test the Mink
Clik, although it will test the operation fine, if desired.

starting or continuing after rainfall quantities of Va",
114", t/z', 3/4" or 1 ". To adjust it to the desired shut-
off quantity, rotate the cap on the switch housing
so that the pins are located in the proper slots (see
Figure 7). Do not forcibly twist the cap as this might
break the pins.
The time that it takes the Mini-Clik to reset for
normal sprinkler operation after the rain has
stopped is determined by weather conditions (wind,
sunlight, humidity, etc.) These conditions will
determine how fast the hygroscopic discs dry out,
and since the turf is also experiencing the same
conditions, their respective drying rates will roughly parallel each other. So when
the turf needs more water, the Mini-Clik is already reset to allow the sprinkler
system to go at the next scheduled cycle.
There is an adjustment capability on the Mini-Clik that will slow down the reset
rate. By turning the 'vent ring" (see Figure 7) to completely or partially cover the
ventilation holes, the hygroscopic discs will dry more slowly. This adjustment can
compensate for an "overly sunny" installation location, or peculiar soil conditions.
Experience will best determine the ideal vent setting.
The Hunter ICC and SRC controllers are equipped with a built-in bypass that
allows you to override an active sensor. For controllers not equipped with this
feature, should you desire to bypass the operation of the Mini-Clik for any reason
(i.e., turn on your system even though the Mini-Clik has shut "off" due to rainfall),
there are two simple ways to do this. The first is to add our Bypass Switch Box.
This mounts on or next to the controller, and by simply moving the switch, the
Mini-Clik is bypassed. The second method is to go to the Mini-Clik and raise the
"cap" a couple of settings higher or completely remove it. This takes the pressure
off the switch button, which allows the valve circuit to close again.
Note: Using the "manual" switch on non -Hunter controllers typically will not
bypass the sensor.
There is no required maintenance for the unit. The Mini-Clik does not have to be
removed or covered for `winterizing" purposes.
Troubleshooting
Follow these simple checks first before assuming the unit is bad and replacing it.
System will not come on at all:
A. First, check to see that the Mini-Clik discs are dry and the switch "clicks" on
and off freely by pressing the top of the spindle.
B. Next, look for breaks in the wire leading to the Mini-Clik and check all wire
junctions.
C. Finally, if the Mini-Clik is dry and the wire leading to it is good, check the Mini-
Clik switch by nicking the insulation of the two "outer" wires near the unit to
expose copper. Turn one sprinkler zone on, and apply a "jumper wire" across
the two exposed wires. If the sprinkler now comes on, the switch is bad. Wrap
all nicked wires with electrical tape.
System will not shut off even after heavy rainfall:
A. Check wiring for correctness (see "Operation Check to Verify Correct Wiring").
B. Check sensitivity setting on Mini-Clik— move cap to more sensitive setting.
The Mini-Clik is an accurate rain gauge and can be verified by setting up a
"tube" type rain gauge in the same vicinity and making periodic readings.
C. Is the rainfall actually hitting the Mini-Clik? Check for obstructions to rainfall
such as overhangs, trees or walls.
Manufactured under U.S. Patent No. 3,808,385.

What is Ultraviolet Light?
Ultraviolet light is found in nature as a component of sunlight. Located on the spectrum just below visible light,
ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye. At the frequency (254 nanometers) produced by the lamps in IWG's
Water Treatment Units, ultraviolet light is very effective in the destruction of micro-organisms like bacteria (E. coli,
Bacillus anthracis, Irbrio cholerae, etc.), viruses (Influenza, Polio, etc.) and protozoa (Cryptosporidium parvum and
Giardia lamblia are two examples). Pre-treatment of the water is required to produce clear water for the ultraviolet
light to penetrate and destroy micro-organisms. In some cases, 185 nm wavelength (ozone producing) ultraviolet
lamps are used to reduce Total Organic Carbon in addition to disinfecting the wastewater.

After Exposure to Ultraviolet - Bonds Broken
Studies show that DNA molecules in the nucleus of micro-organisms in water will absorb ultraviolet light. The organism is
inactivated when sufficient dosage has been absorbed to modify the molecular structure in the DNA. This results when exposure
to ultraviolet light causes two thymine molecules to form an inappropriate bond, or dimes The effect of numerous thymine
dimers forming along the DNA chain inhibits replication of the organism. It may not be killed instantly, but the scrambling of the
genetic code in the nucleus prevents reproduction, rendering it non -viable and harmless to humans.
The amount of energy required to produce this effect is referred to as the lethal dosage. Dosage is measured in micro -watt
seconds per square centimeter (µW-sec/cmz). Most harmful micro-organisms are reduced by 99.9% or more with a dosage of
20,000 µW-sec/cm2. Properly maintained IWG Wastewater Treatment Units produce a minimum of 26,000 µW-seC/cm2.

IWG-1-LV-VWU-3 Specifications
Disinfection Performance: - greater than a 99.9% bacterial reduction
- a bacterial fecal colony count of less than 200 per 100 mi.
Required Environmental Characteristics: Water Temperature Range: 330 F. to 1000 F.
Ambient Temperature Range: 330F. to 112° F.
Installation:
For optimum results, the sewage treatment system effluent must possess the following characteristics before
entering the sterilizer unit:
Total Organic Carbon count of less than 10mg/L* Turbidity of less than 8 NTU
Suspended Solids count of less than 10mg/L* Transmissivity of greater than 50%
The unit is designed for indoor use only (considered to be a housing that is water -tight and/or weatherproof). The
unit must be supported in its housing - not free hanging from its pipe connections.
*The sewage treatment system providing input to the unit should have National Sanitation Foundation certification
under Standard 40, Class One.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
PPPFP'
General: With proper operational and maintenance, the waste treatment and disposal facilities should provide long
term successful treatment and disposal of the wastewater generated by the source. It should be emphasized that
the treatment facilities, although relatively simple in concept and. operation will require attention if they are to
perform properly. The operator in responsible charge should be attuned to the possible changes in wastewater
quantity and characteristics, to the operational condition of mechanical equipment, and to weather, soil and plant
conditions affecting the performance of the drip irrigation system.
When testing, the operator shall maintain a permanent record of flow and pressure readings for
comparison of readings taken at startup. He shall have knowledge of how to maintain the system to
ensure readings stay within bounds.
Waste Characteristics: The waste treatment facilities have been designed for the treatment of a limited volume of
domestic type wastewater only. No other type of waste stream including condensate water shall enter the system.
The detection by the operator of nuisance conditions or odors reflecting the introduction of other types of waste into
the system should be immediately investigated and the source eliminated.
Bypassing: Bypassing of wastewater is strictly prohibited by law and subject to fine.
Water Usage: The Owner/Operator shall record monthly the water consumption by recording water meter reading.
The records shall be kept on file and be retained in permanent records. Any excess water usage shall be stopped
immediately. If irrigation is to be used, a separate meter is to be installed at the residence.
Effluent Monitoring: The effluent from the facility shall be monitored at a point prior to irrigation every March,
July and November for the following parameters: BODs, TSS, Fecal Coliform, pH, NH3 as N
System Maintenance: The Owner is responsible for the maintenance and proper operation of the surface
application sewage treatment and disposal system. The system shall be maintained at all times to prevent
seepage or discharge of sewage or effluent to surface water. The system shall be checked monthly and the
contents of the septic tank removed periodically to ensure proper operation of the system. If seepage or other
malfunctions do occur, immediate action should be taken to remedy the problem. The Owner shall practice water
conservation and maintain the system as outlined in Ownership Responsibility.
All float switches shall be checked to determine that they are not fouled and that the proper volume of effluent is
being pumped. Pumps should be checked to ensure that they remain submerged and are operating properly. The
alarm system shall be checked for proper operation. The "push to test" button on the alarm should be checked.
Pump maintenance should follow the manufacturer's recommendations. All of this shall be done monthly.
Septic Tank: The septic tank represents a reliable treatment unit which, when shown a measure of respect for its
specific weaknesses, should provide years of service.
Annual inspection and cleaning of scum and sludge in the septic tank is crucial in achieving required treatment and
preservation of the surface drip fields. After initial construction, the septic tank contents should be visually
inspected annually. Upon removal of the plug-in the inspection port on the septic tank, if the thickness of scum and
sludge layers combined exceeds approximately 24% of the total water depth of the tank, and then the tank should
be cleaned of its sludge and scum by a licensed septic tank pumper. Tank shall not be pumped during wet
conditions.
Slotted Effluent Filter: On an annual basis, clean and inspect the effluent filter. When washing the filter, debris
must be sprayed directed back into the septic tank and not onto the lawn. Note in Maintenance Report.
Advantex Treatment Unit: Owner shall read the attached 0&M Manual for the Advantex unit and become familiar
with all of the components.
Recirculation Tank: Periodic cleaning of scum and sludge in the recirculation tank is crucial in achieving required
treatment and preservation of the surface drip fields. After initial construction, the tank contents should be visually
inspected annually. Upon removal of the riser in the inspection port on the recirculation tank, if the thickness of
scum and sludge layers combined exceeds approximately 24% of the total water depth of the tank, and then the
tank should be cleaned of its sludge and scum by a licensed septic tank pumper. Tank shall not be pumped during
wet conditions.
0&M Manual Page 1 September 7, 2004

UV Disinfection Unit: The UV disinfection unit shall be inspected on a weekly basis and cleaned if needed.
Pump Tank: Owner shall check the water level of the pump in the tank and make sure that the floats are not fouled
and that the floats are operating properly by lifting each of the floats and making sure that each is doing its purpose
(ie. Lift alarm float and audiovisual alarm triggers at panel). Tank shall not be pumped during wet conditions.
Rain Sensor: Inspect monthly to make sure that the sensor is operating properly by spraying with water prior to a
dose cycle, empty and test to see whether the pump enables again once sensor is clear of moisture.
Drip System: System maintenance should be scheduled as called for herein by qualified properly trained
wastewater system maintenance personnel. Maintenance items should be performed monthly as follows:
(1) Remove the spin -clean filter base and install a new stainless steel filter screen. Thoroughly clean the
used filter screen and maintain it in stock for the next scheduled system maintenance.
(2) Manually operate drip field supply pump by opening control enclosure and placing H-O-A selector
switch in the "H" or hand operated position.
(3) Monitor and document system operating pressure from pressure gauge located immediately
downstream from 1" spin clean filter and Schrader valves located at the ends of the manifolds. (Record
pressure readings and compare with previous readings. This will provide a good indication of the
system operation.)
(4) If system is operating at design pressure return the H-O-A selector switch in the pump control panel to
the "A" or automatic operation setting.
(5) In the drain field area, remove the lids for each of the valve boxes which house the air / vacuum relief
valves. Inspect for ground water building. Clean and evacuate valve boxes as necessary.
(6) Maintain and check the Rain Sensor to ensure proper operation. Read the attached manufacturers cut
sheet and become familiar with components.
(7) Maintain and ensure that the drip field surface drains properly. Monthly walk the drip field, note any
ponding of water and correct problem. Remove any down limbs, trees or sticks. If any dead limbs still
attached to trees, remove so that falling limbs do not damage or puncture drip tubing.
(8) Note system maintenance and findings to Owner as required by the permitting authorities.
Under no circumstances should heavy equipment be allowed to travel over the drip fields. The area of the drip bed
shall be maintained with a natural vegetative cover to prevent erosion.
Summary: Daily attention, routine maintenance, and common sense operation of the wastewater treatment
facilities described herein should continue to provide environmentally safe and satisfactory mechanical
performance for many years. A lack of such care will most certainly create innumerable problems and
unnecessary expense. A certified operator and a backup operator will be required prior to the Engineer's
certification of this system
OWNERSHIP RESPONSIBILITY
It must be kept in mind that this system is designed to accept a moderate amount of wastewater (which is called
the EFFLUENT), in a minimal water absorbing soil. Conservation measures must be undertaken by all members of
the facility to minimize the volume of water entering the disposal system, including, but not limited to, the following
precautions:
1. Provide water conserving plumbing fixtures within the facility; including toilets with flush volume not exceeding 1.6
gallons/flush.
2. Develop conservative water use habits.
3. Monitor and maintain the system as necessary for proper operation.
4. Inspect the septic tank and effluent filter annually.
5. Inspect the UV unit weekly and clean if needed.
6. Inspect the rain sensor monthly along with all other components of the irrigations system.
7. Make rapid repairs to leaking plumbing fixtures and faucets.
8. Maintain a natural vegetative cover over the disposal field.
9. Maintain filters on an as needed or scheduled basis.

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
Your Expertise Matters
As the operator and service provider of an onsite
wastewater treatment system, you play a crucial
role. Property owners, neighbors, regulators, deal-
ers, manufacturers ... all rely on your efficient
and effective work.
All onsite systems require servicing, from the sim-
plest of standard stone -trench systems to the most
complex tertiary treatment systems. Regular serv-
icing optimizes the treatment process and ensures
that onsite systems are a sustainable technology.
To make servicing easier, Orenco has configured
the AdvanTex® Treatment System and its compo-
nents to be one of the most trouble -free and serv-
ice -friendly residential treatment systems on the
market. We've also provided this O&M Manual.
In it, you'll find valuable information about ...
• The AdvanTex® System's configuration and
treatment process
• Performance expectations (norms) at each stage
in the treatment process
• System components
• Routine cleaning and maintenance procedures
and frequencies
• Routine cleaning and maintenance checklist
• Testing procedures
• Troubleshooting rips
• Sample documentation
• Equipment and tools checklist
Operation and maintenance of an onsite treat-
ment system requires an understanding of all the
above information. So please read through this
entire manual first, before providing any service.
Then write in the Record of System Facts, on
the back page. Reading the manual first and
maintaining up-to-date records will save everyone
time and money in the long -run.
Also, at start-up and periodically thereafter, we
recommend that you get together with the sys-
tem user to review the Homeowner's Manual that
comes with the system, especially the "Do's and
Don'ts." This will educate the user on preventive
maintenance and on the operating and mainte-
nance responsibilities of system users and author-
ized personnel, as well as service -related obliga-
tions of the manufacturer. Meeting periodically
with the user will also allow you to track any sig-
nificant changes in the household (e.g., number
of occupants, changes in water use, use of deter-
gents, disposal of cleaning compounds, etc.).
We're very proud of the AdvanTex® Treatment
System. Like all our products, it has gone through
extensive research, development, and field-testing.
Then each component is built to written specifi-
cations and subjected to quality review, before

Treatment Process and Performance
Expectations: Processing Tank
Processing Tank
The processing tank provides primary wastewater
treatment. The tank is an enclosed, watertight
receptacle designed to collect wastewater; segre-
gate settleable and floatable solids (sludge and
scum); accumulate, consolidate, and store solids;
digest organic matter; and discharge treated
effluent. BOD (biochemical oxygen demand)
removals of greater than 65% and TSS (total
suspended solids) removals of greater than 70%
are easily accomplished.
The tank operates as a plug -flow type of reactor
(fluid and particles enter and exit the tank in pro-
gressive sequence). Wastewater separates into three
distinct layers: a floating scum layer, a bottom
sludge layer, and a clear zone in between, which is
relatively free of large solids. A pump vault with
effluent filter located at the outlet end of the tank
draws liquid effluent from the clear zone, and the
filtered effluent is dosed to the next step in the
treatment process ... the AdvanTex® Textile
Filter.
Because the AdvanTex® Treatment System oper-
ates in the recirculating mode, the filtrate from
the Textile Filter returns to the processing tank in
one of two ways: to the back (outlet end) of the
tank in Mode 1 and to the front (inlet end) of
the tank in Mode 3. This plumbing configura-
tion affects effluent quality. Effluent quality is
also contingent upon a number of other condi-
tions inside the tank:
• strength and characteristics of incoming waste
(see "Raw Influent," below)
average flows within design range (typically
40-60 gallons per person per day)
• adequate long-term solids retention for
thorough digestion
• watertightness of tank (for proper stratification
of incoming waste to prevent treatment short
circuiting and hydraulic overloading)
• proper size of tank (for minimum 24-hour
hydraulic retention time through the tank's
clear zone, at average flow rates and when
sludge and scum are developed fully)
If the above conditions are met, you can expect
the following treatment performance from the
processing tank:

Treatment Process and Performance
Expectations: AdvanTex® Textile Filter
AX Series
AdvanTex® Textile Filter
The AdvanTex® textile filter provides secondary
wastewater treatment. The filter is a sturdy,
watertight fiberglass basin filled with an engi-
neered textile material. This lightweight, highly
absorbent textile material treats a tremendous
amount of wastewater in a small space.
The AdvanTex® filter operates in the recirculating
mode, just like a recirculating sand or gravel fil-
ter, but loading rates are typically 5-20 times
higher, for a number of reasons. For one thing,
the textile media has a very large surface area —
about 5 times greater than that of an equivalent
volume of sand. Textile also has a greater void
volume (for free -flow of oxygen) and greater
water -holding capacity.
Wastewater percolates both through and between
the textile media. A visible biological film nor-
mally develops on the filter medium within a few
days. BOD5 and TSS reductions occur almost
immediately.
Within the filter, aerobic conditions exist that
are ideal for microbes that convert ammonia to
nitrate (nitrification). Other conditions exist, too,
that result in further nitrogen reduction within
the media. Some AdvanTex® filters are configured
(Mode 3) so that the filtrate recirculates back to
the high -carbon, low -oxygen environment at the
inlet end of the processing tank, which is ideal
for microbes that reduce nitrates to nitrogen gas
(denitrification). Harmless nitrogen gas is then
released freely back into the atmosphere. The
RX Series
acclimation period for nitrification may range
from four to eight weeks, or longer in colder cli-
mates.
AdvanTex® filtrate effluent quality is dependent
upon proper management of the recirc/blend
effluent flowing into the filter (which, in turn,
is dependent on the conditions described on the
previous page). If proper conditions are met, and
with typical average daily flows of 40-60 gallons
per capita per day, you can expect the following
treatment performance:

Routine Cleaning &Maintenance Procedures
Orenco Systems® requires regular inspection and
maintenance of AdvanTex® Treatment Systems
as a condition of purchase. All activities are to
be performed three -to -six months after system
start-up; and an annual field -service inspection,
including sampling, is to be scheduled in late
spring or in early summer. For AXN systems,
there is to be a minimum of four inspections
during the first two years, and then annual
inspections thereafter.
Following is a list of the routine cleaning and
maintenance procedures we recommend or
require. Failure to provide required maintenance
will void the AdvanTexe Treatment System
warranty.
Copies of inspection and maintenance reports,
along with any additional documentation, must
be forwarded to and retained by the Authorized
AdvanTex® Treatment System Dealer who sold
the system. If there is no Dealer, then the docu-
mentation must be forwarded to Orenco
Systems, Inc., 814 Airway Avenue, Sutherlin,
OR 97479, ATTN: Systems Engineering.
Control Panel/Pumps/Alarms
WARNING: Only qualified/certified electri-
cians or service providers should perform
maintenance on electrical equipment.
1 Check pump operations. Place the MOA
switch (Manual, Off, Automatic) to Manual and
make sure the pump runs. Then switch back to
Automatic and continue to check the automatic
operation of the alarm floats, the recirc timer on
the floats, the discharge timer on/off, and timer
overrides. Refer to the installation, operation, and
setting instructions for the control panel that
comes with the system. A set of instructions is
stored in a plastic pocket on the inside of the
panel door.
NOTE.•
Be sure to set
the MOA
switch back
to Auto after
testing.
2 Record motor run amps and voltages on the
Field Maintenance Report Form. If the voltage
drop exceeds National Electric Code (NEC)
requirements, have an electrician verify the
service fine and check pump windings.
3 Verify that the programmable timer settings
for all pumps are correct. If the timer settings
have been changed, the current setting and date
of change should be written on your Timer
Setting Instructions and Record of System Facts,
at the back of this Manual. Place the date and
your initials by the recorded change.

ADVANTEX® O&M. MANUAL
4 Read and record the elapsed time meter
(ETM) and cycle counter (CT) values (from the
panel's logic controller or from the web -based
telemetry software) on the Field Maintenance
Report Form.
ETM's and CT's are valuable troubleshooting
tools if problems occur with the system. ETM
and CT data signal high water usage, low water
usage or tank leakage, and excessive pumping,
among other operating situations.
5 Confirm operation of audible and visual
alarms per the installation, operation, and setting
instructions for the control panel that comes with
the system.
Pumping System
Pump systems should be inspected annually to
ensure that they are operating properly. Unscrew
the stainless steel bolts that fasten the fiberglass
lid over the pumping equipment. Remove the
fiberglass lid for an inspection that includes these
steps:
1 Verify that there are no obvious holes or leaks
in the riser or around the perimeter of the riser
connection to the tank. Wetness or water marks
may be an indication of weeping.
2 Inspect splice box to ensure lid and connec-
tions are secure.
3 Verify that floats are in good condition and
properly secured to the float tree. Verify that float
cords are neatly wrapped inside the riser so that
they cannot interfere with the operation of the
4 Verify float operation. With MOA switch in
Automatic, simulate system operation by lifting
the floats in the same order that the liquid would
lift them (bottom first, top last).
5 Determine whether the Biotube® effluent
filter needs cleaning by testing the change in the
ranks liquid level when the pump is on. Turn the
recirc pump on by flipping the MCA switch in
the control panel to Manual. Watch the liquid
level inside the screened vault as the pump
is running for about 30 seconds to deter-
mine if there is any noticeable liquid level
differential between it and the tank liquid
level. Return the MOA switch to Auto. When
the liquid level difference between the inside and
outside of the vault is about two inches or more,
or if the low-level alarm is activated, the Biotub&
cartridge may need to be cleaned.
floats.

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
If the Biotube® needs cleaning, do the following
• Turn circuit breaker off at service panel
• Switch MOA and circuit breakers in control
panel to "Off"
• Slide Biotube® cartridge out of vault
• If necessary, the RSV valve may be removed to
allow room in the riser for cleaning the

for details on how an RSV works. .
• Hold Biotube® cartridge over open inlet of tank
or primary compartment
• Carefully spray build-up into tank
• If there are significant solids in vault, remove
and clean it too
6 Pull the pump and place it on a cleanable
surface, like the riser lid, or in a plastic trash
can. Check the intake screen; wash off particles
as necessary. Record the kinds of particles
(cigarette butts, hair, lint, gum, kitty litter,
cloth wipes, grease build-up, etc.) on the Field
Maintenance Report form. Report findings
to user (for education).
7 Visually inspect the Recirculating Splitter
Valve and verify that the liquid level in the tank
is within the normal range. If low, the ball mech-
anism could be jammed in the seated position.
Remove, disassemble, and inspect. If high, the
RSV may require cleaning because it is not mak-
ing a tight seal when seated. Remove, disassem-
ble, and inspect.
NOTE: The figure below shows the RSV adja-
cent to the inlet of the processing tank, which is
typical for Mode 3 systems (Mode 1 systems
have the RSV in the second compartment of the
tank — the Recirc Chamber). To read dimen-
sional specifications, see full-sized drawing in
Installation Guide, Appendix 2.
Processing Tank
1 If possible, verify no inlet flow when all house-
hold appliances are turned off. Access the inlet
inspection port for visual verification of lack of
flow. If the inlet inspection port is not readily
accessible, then listen for trickling water at the
access port. This could indicate faulty fixtures or
leaky plumbing. Check building sewer cleanout
for flow

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
If faulty plumbing isnt the problem, the sound
of trickling water. could indicate I & I (infiltra-
tion and inflow) from ground or surface water.
In that case, further investigation is necessary.
2 Inspect the processing tank for the following:
• Liquid depth (should be about 60-70% of the
total inside depth of the tank)
• Odor (should be musty, not pungent)
• Color/consistency of scum (should be dark
brown with a consistency that varies from
dense and crusty to soft and amorphous)
• Effluent characteristics (should be no oily sheen
or foam)
• Sludge and scum thickness (records should indi-
cate typical growth accumulation of 1" of scum
and 2" of sludge per year for 3-4 occupants)
Measurements of solids accumulation help to
determine when the septic tank needs pumping.
A recommendation for pumping should be made
when the bottom of the scum layer is within
3" of the flow -through port of the baffle or when
there is an accumulation of sludge to a depth
within 6" below the flow -through port. After the
first year's measurement of septic tank sludge and
scum thickness, measurements only need to be
taken about every three years, until the thickness-
es approach their maximum depths.
Textile Filter
1 Inspect for ponding.* The filter should not be
saturated. Effluent should move freely through
the media.
2 While manifold is pressurized, check for prop-
er positioning of orifice shields over each orifice.
*If there is ponding in the textile filter because of a build-
up of oil and grease, scrripe a sample of the biomat and
have it analyzed by an environmental lab to determine its
characteristic. For the AX Series filter only: If there is
ponding of indeterminate cause, coupled with a pungent
odor, it may be necessary to clean the textile media.
(Excessive cleaning will retard nitrification. Only clean as
often as necenary) The textile media hangs in individual
sheets, and these sheets can be pulled out for cleaning (if
necessary). Firsts remove the Recirculating Splitter Valve.
Use a hose or pressure washer, connected to the nearest
spigot. Wash the biomat into the underdrain and it will
flow back to the tank, as long as the Recirculating Splitter
Valve has been removed When done, replace RSV.
Remember: clean filter only if ponding and odor occur.

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
3 Verify that there is equal spray on and under
all orifice shields. (Each orifice shield should
show signs of organic biomat build-up on and
underneath it.)
4 Check for clogged orifices (orifice shields with-
out spray or biomat build-up underneath). You
should be able to observe uniform water droplets
dancing around orifice shields while dosing.
5 Assess the character and color of the biomat. If
it seems appropriate, take a photo and comment
on the growth and characteristics of the biologi-
cal mat under and around the orifice shields.
Biomats are natural and normally appear light -
brown to dark -brown and gelatinous in texture.
If the mat appears too light (yellowish with the
texture of lard, wax, or margarine), the grease
and oil concentrations should be checked.
6 Check the odor emitting from the filter. If a
strong or offensive odor (e.g., smell of rotten
eggs, rotten cabbage, etc.) is emitted, measure the
DO level in the filtrate and recirculation cham-
ber and adjust the recirc time, if necessary.
(Normally, systems will smell musty, earthy, or
moldy but not pungent).
7 Check squirt height and compare residual pres-
sure against the start-up value. This may take
longer than just cleaning and flushing the mani-
fold, but will help establish frequency of cleaning.
If the squirt height is 40-50% higher than the
start-up value, clean and flush the manifold. (A
50% increase in squirt height signals approximate-
ly 18% orifice blockage.) To flush laterals you can
run the pump or use a bottle brush or pressure
Flushing with pump
Flushing with pressure
washer or bottle brush
washer. Brushing or pressure washing is best.
(When flushing AX laterals, biosolids slough into
the bottom of the filter, then return to the tank.)
Verify again that all orifices are clear. Re -check
squirt height.
8 For the RX Series filter only, verify ventilation
fan operation and air flow. Use an anemometer
(available through Orenco) to measure the air
flowing through the system. 10-15 cubic feet per
minute (din) per pod is typical. Record inlet flow
and outlet flow, where applicable, to ensure there
isn't a large difference between them. A large
difference means that leaking or bypassing is
occurring. Clean vent pipe as necessary.

Effluent Testing Procedures
Orenco Systems® recommends regular testing of
effluent from AdvanTbe Treatment Systems as
part of system maintenance. Copies of test results
and additional comments/documentation must
be forwarded to and retained by the Authorized
AdvanTee Treatment System Dealer who sold
the system. If no Dealer was involved in the sale,
then documentation must be forwarded to
Orenco Systems, Inc., 814 Airway Avenue,
Sutherlin, OR 97479, ATTN: Systems
Engineering.
Protocol for Sampling, Testing,
and Analysis
Sampling Locations — For residential systems,
sample the discharge filtrate at the filtrate sputter
valve. This location is illustrated on your system
drawings. Pull the RSV out of its Quick
Disconnect holster and lay it on a flat surface.
Take the sample at the RSV inlet. (Dort run the
Dump manually to force a quick sample. Take the
sample during normal system operation.
Sampling Schedule — Typically schedule full-
scale annual sampling events for spring.
Sampling and Storage Methods — Sampling
equipment, minimum sample size, and storage
procedures should conform to those recommend-
ed in the most current edition of Standard
Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater, American Public Health Association
(APHA), available from the Water Environment
Federation, 1-703-684-2400.
Analytical Methods — Analytical methods
should conform to Standard Methods, cited above.
Routine Tests, Frequencies,
and Typical Values
While regional requirements vary, Orenco recom-
mends that the following effluent tests be per-'
formed three -to -six months after system start-up;
and an annual field -service inspection, including
sampling, is to be scheduled in late spring or in
early summer. For AXN systems, there is to be a
minimum of four inspections with sampling dur-
ing the first two years, and then annual inspec-
tions with sampling thereafter.
These tests can be performed in the field; they
cost very little and do not require lab work.
However, they are very useful in assessing system
performance and maintenance.

Relationship Between Test
Results and Loading Rates
As noted on p. 6-7, filtrate quality is dependent
on a number of factors, including influent char-
acteristics and loading rates. The following charts
show how low -to -moderate loading rates produce
BOD and TSS of <5mg/L, while higher loading
rates produce BOD and TSS in the range of
15-25 mg/L.

Troubleshooting Tips for Operators:
Process Treatment
Once you know the typical values for wastewater
treatment system performance (see pp. 6, 7, 16,
and 17), you can be pro -active and troubleshoot
non -typical process indicators, before system
performance is affected.
Troubleshooting Effluent Quality
If your effluent samples are cloudy and color/
turbidity is >15 units, do the following:
s,d N'j
r:
• Perform BOD5 and TSS tests
• Check to ensure the recirc ratio isrA too high
or the pump dose time isrA too long
• Check the effluent filter for clogging
• Interview user re: System abuse
If performance continues to be poor, explore the
following design remedies, in this order:
1 Expanded tankage (e.g., additional grease/
oil tank)
2 Pretreatment (e.g., additional aeration)
3 Larger filter area (e.g., additional module)
Troubleshooting Odor
If the tank or textile filter smells like rotten eggs
or cabbage:
• Check Dissolved Oxygen levels
• Use a DO meter or Colorimetric Kit
• Note filtrate DO levels that are
<2.5 or >6 mg/L
Filtrate DO thats <2.5 mg/L indicates insuffi-
cient oxygen. If the filtrate DO is <2.5 mg/L:
• Check filter surface for evidence of clogging
• Check to ensure the pump is working
• Check to ensure the ventilation fan assembly
is working (RX only)
• Check to ensure the recirc ratio isn't too low;
increase if too low
• Check to ensure influent strength isrA too high
(see AdvanTbO Design Criteria)
• Check to ensure hydraulic retention time isn't
too high
Filtrate DO thats >6 mg/L indicates excessive
aeration. If the filtrate DO is >6 mg/L:
• Check to ensure recirc ratio isdt too high
• Check to see if influent flows are below normal
• If influent flows are below normal or recirc
ratio is too high, reduce recirc ratio
,L=

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
Troubleshooting Biotube" Filter
Clogging
If a visual inspection of the Biotube® filter for
biomass build-up shows the need for cleaning
more often than once every 1-2 years (which
is typical for recirculating systems), try the
following:
• Verify the pump isn't running too long
(typically 3 cycles/hour)
• Ensure the recirc ratio isn't too high
• Verify normal DO levels; if high, reduce
recirc ratio
• Check for below normal influent flows
• Check influent Grease & Oil and TSS; if
excessive, a review of component sizes may
be required
Troubleshooting Oily Film
All signs of oil or grease anywhere in the system
(in the tank, in the vault, on the effluent or tex-
tile filter) must be investigated. Ask the system
user to identify the probable source:
• Recent change of car oil?
• Canning meat or poultry?
• Excessive use of garbage disposal?
• Excessive use of bath or mineral oils? -,
(Jacuzzi® tub?)
• Excessive use of detergents?
If the system user can't identify the probable
source, try the following:
• Sample/test effluent for BOD5 and Grease
& Oil
• Sample/test at all process steps, including
influent (if possible)
• Label, date, and photograph all samples
• Use standard glass beakers and set samples in
front of a common, uniform background,
when photographing
• Check biomat accumulation at AdvanTex®
Filter
• Note if biomat is yellowish and wax -like or
lard -like
• If so, scrape biomat sample for analysis
• Photograph/document biornat sample
• Send to lab with effluent samples
Note: Excessive Grease & Oil (>25 mg/L) is
typically a design and management concern with
commercial applications.
Troubleshooting Foam
Foam indicates that microbes are producing
excessive gas byproducts. Foam rarely occurs in
packed bed filters (and AdvanTex® is a packed
bed filter). If foam is present:
• Verify the pump isn't running too long
• Ensure the recirc ratio isn't too high
• Ask residents about detergent use

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
O&M For Nitrogen Reduction
AdvanTex® Treatment Systems do an excellent
job of reducing nitrogen, especially in the Mode
3 configuration, where Total Nitrogen* is typical-
ly reduced to 10 mg/L or less. Because many
people purchase AdvariTeje for its nitrogen
reducing capabilities, and because nitrogen.
reduction is a complex, many -staged process, it's
important to understand the process; its related
factors, the signs of effective nitrogen reduction,
and how to keep the process optimized.
It's also important to know the Total Nitrogen
limits required by the system user's permit. Some
regulatory agencies have no requirement; some
require a specific percentage reduction of a cer-
tain kind of nitrogen (90-95% nitrification of
ammonia nitrogen, for example); and some
require that Total Nitrogen be reduced to levels
at or near drinking water quality at the point of
final dispersal.
Finally, because influent characteristics greatly
affect the amount of nitrogen reduction possible
from any given system, it's vital to know the
alkalinity of your waste source and the local/
regional norms for organic and ammonia
nitrogen.
The Process
In nitrogen reduction, ammonia is converted to
nitrate and then reduced through bacterial action
to nitrogen gas, which can be released harmlessly
to the atmosphere. Optimum nitrogen reduction
requires the following:
• Adequate alkalinity of approximately 250t
mg/L or higher (lab test shows levels)
• pH of 6-8
• Filtrate DO level of 2.5-8 mg/L; Process tank
DO level of <1 mg/L
• Adequate time for the nitrifying bacteria to
develop (one to three months)
• Adequate temperature (below 400 F retards
the process)
• Good organic removal
For a thorough description of the nitrogen reduc-
tion process, see the Appendix, page 28. In resi-
dential wastewater, the ammonia level is typically
about 60 mg/L and the Total Nitrogen level is
typically about 65 mg/L.
Signs of Effective Nitrogen
Reduction
Service providers frequently ask us, "How do I
know if my wastewater treatment system is
reducing nitrogen?" A thorough description of
key indicators is included in the Appendix.
Following is a brief summary:
• Clear, odorless filtrate effluent (a "see and sniff"
test is generally considered sufficient)
• Normal -looking biomat on the textile filter
(light -brown to dark -brown and gelatinous in
texture)
Additional Filtrate Tests
Will Show...
• Typically, low BOD5 and high clarity
• DO of 2.5-6 mg/L and odorless or odor that is
not a nuisance
• Relatively low ammonia and high nitrate levels,
since nitrification converts ammonia to nitrate
Troubleshooting Nitrogen
Reduction
If you suspect that the System is not meeting
expectations for nitrogen reduction, troubleshoot
each of the critical factors that contribute to opti-
mum nitrogen reduction, to determine a cause.
Filtrate Alkalinity Too Low
Available alkalinity determines the degree of
nitrification possible for any wastewater treatment
system, because it takes 7.14 parts alkalinity to
nitrify 1 part ammonia.
* Total Nitrogen is the sum of organic and ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and nitrite nitrogen.
(TN=ON + NH3-n + NO3-n + NO2-n ... or ... TN=TKlV--n + NO3-n + NO2-n)

ADVANTEX® O&M.
MANUAL
If filtrate alkalinity is too low:
• Check the recirc ratio; a high recirc ratio
increases alkalinity consumption*
• Check influent TKN or ammonia levels and
source alkalinity
If a large quantity of nitrification is required, it
may be necessary to add a buffering compound
to the system, to raise alkalinity levels.
Filtrate pH Too Low
A pH level of <6 retards microbial activity of all
kinds, including denitrification. If the filtrate pH
level is too low:
• Check influent alkalinity level (pH drops when
too much available alkalinity is consumed)
• Check recirc ratios; reduce if too high*
• Ask system user about chemical discharges into
the system, including carpet cleaners, chlorine,
and photo developing agents
Filtrate DO Levels Outside 2.5-6 mg/L
Range
If your filtrate DO is too low (indicating insuffi-
cient oxygen), you may experience periodic sul-
fide odors during dosing events, or perhaps a
more lasting smell within the filter pod. Try the
following:
• Check for surface clogging/ponding and clean
as necessary
• Check air flow in the ventilation -fan assembly
(RX only)
• Check the recirc ratio; if it's too low (<3:1t)
increase as necessary'`
If your filtrate DO is too hi (indicating
excessive aeration), it's likely that excessive
recirculation or insufficient hydraulic retention
time are factors. Try the following:
• Decrease the recirc ratio*
High Filtrate Ammonia Levels
Because ammonia is consumed during nitrifica-
tion, high ammonia levels are a sign that some-
thing is remiss. Try the following:
• Check for surface clogging/ponding and clean
as necessary
• Check for sufficient aeration (measure DO)
• Ensure no blockage of air flow into textile filter
(indicated by thick biomat development or a
build-up of grease and oils)
• Ensure no blockage in the manifold, causing...
— Localized hydraulic overloading, saturation
— Short circuiting
• Check for sufficient allmlinity; if insufficient,
consider supplemental buffering. Call Orenco
Engineering for assistance, if necessary.
Low Filtrate Nitrate Levels
Residential packed bed filters normally yield 95+
percent nitrification (ammonia to nitrate).
Therefore the ammonia levels in the filtrate
should be low and the nitrate levels higher. Some
denitrication typically is experienced through the
packed bed filter. So the normal nitrate level may
vary. Be sure you are familiar with the mode of
operation, as some AdvanTex® modes are config-
ured to produce lower nitrate levels. If it appears
that nitrification is dropping off:
• Check the recirc ratio; adjust as necessary*
(high recirc ratios may drive pH too low for
effective nitrification/denitrification and low
recirc ratios may not provide sufficient
aeration)
• Verify incoming ammonia levels
• Check recirc/blend for sufficient organic food
source (high BOD — see Table, page 6 — may
cause greater oxygen demand through the filter,
reducing nitrification)
Adequate Time and Temperature
Nitrifying bacteria require one to two months to
develop, and extremely cold temperatures (below
40' F) retard that process. If the AdvanTeie
Treatment System has been installed in a very
cold climate, nitrification may not "kick id' for
several months until warmer temperatures are
reached. Typically, a June -September installation
provides the necessary temperatures for a 30-60
day nitrification start-up time. Once nitrifiers
colonize, they typically continue to nitrify
through normal winter conditions. Only in
severely cold regions should additional insulation
be necessary.
*Keep in mind that a recirc ratio that's too high can generate a highly aerobic biomatgrowth on the pump filter,• and
a recirc ratio that's too low can tend to liberate periodic odors during dosing events. So search for the optimum ratio
(typically between 3 and 5:1)

To check for clarity service providers can carry a lab prepared sample bottle or bottles with known turbidities of 15
JTUs and 30 JTUs, to compare against, or can use a portable turbidity meter. Always put effluent sample in a clear
glass container or beaker to evaluate clarity. Using a small removable sticker, write the date, place it low on the
beaker, and photograph for documentation.
To check for odor, service providers can simply sniff the effluent sample with the assistance of an olfactory snifter
device and/or su#7de odor measuringpacket. Whenever possible, interview system users about odor occurrences and
request user's assistance in verifying or detecting odors.

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
Appendix: The Nitrogen Reduction Process
and Key Indicators
The Process
Nitrogen removal (or "nitrification/denitrifica-
tion") is a biochemical process in which ammo-
nia is converted to nitrate (nitrification) (2NH3
converts to 2NO3 + 3FLO) and then reduced
through bacterial action (denitrification) to nitro-
gen gas, which can be released harmlessly to the
atmosphere.
During the nitrification process, about 9 parts
oxygen are consumed in converting 2 parts
ammonia to nitrate. Therefore, depending on
the concentration of ammonia, a considerable
amount of air may be needed. Other processes,
like biological (BOD) reduction, may occur
simultaneously and further elevate the demand
for aeration, especially if the organic level is
suitably high.
In an abundance of air, all the aerobic or faculta-
tive microbes compete for their share of oxygen.
When the organic concentration is high, the
microbes that oxidize organic matter, primarily
the heterotrophic bacteria, are aggressive and
tend to outcompete other microbes for the avail-
able free oxygen in solution. The oxidation of
ammonia is accomplished by autotrophic bacte-
ria, which do not have as aggressive of a growth
rate, so if there isn't an abundance of oxygen,
nitrification suffers. Consequently, the nitrifica-
tion process usually lags until the organic concen-
tration is depleted or until sufficient oxygen is
present. At a 2.5:1 BOD/TKN ratio, the nitri-
fiers may only make up about 10 percent of the
microbial population. At 0.5:1 BOD/TKN, the
nitrifiers make up about 35 percent of the popu-
lation.
In a filtering process, the filter column must be
deep enough, or the filter media must be efficient
enough at filtering organic particles, to deplete
organic concentrations to a level in which a suffi-
cient population of nitrifiers will be sustained.
The physical (dimensional) features of the filter
will vary depending on the medics characteristics
— void ratio, moisture holding capacity, and
effective surface area per unit volume ratio.
Tankage, surge capacity, application rates, and
loading characteristics are other design considera-
tions that play a role in the sizing of the filter unit.
Performance Indicators
To judge the nitrogen -reducing performance
(or potential) of any wastewater treatment
system, be sure to check the following perform-
ance indicators:
Clear, Odorless Effluent
Simple, "see and sniff" tests can be performed
easily in the field. Effluent from packed bed
filters (recirculating textile filters, recirculating
sand filters, intermittent sand filters) that are
performing well should be clear (with turbidity
S20 NTUst) and odorless.
Tests for Ammonia and Nitrate Nitrogen
If your system is oxidizing ammonia to nitrate
(nitrifying), lab tests should measure relatively
low ammonia levels and relatively high nitrate
levels in the filtrate. Because nitrification
responds to many and varying conditions within
the aerobic treatment processes, ammonia and
nitrate nitrogen levels in the filtrate are the most
ideal constituents to watch for any changes in
performance. Start-up times can be plotted,
optimum recirc ratios can be gauged, cleaning
frequencies can be predicted, and nonvisible
clogging or saturation detected by watching
either of these constituents.
BOD
The nitrification process requires oxygen,
which is why nitrification is enhanced when
BOD is extremely low. Measures of filtrate
BOD should be <15 mg/L, although higher
BOD may not necessarily correlate with low
levels of nitrification.
Dissolved Oxygen
Dissolved oxygen also provides critical informa-
tion with which to diagnose how well a system
is performing. Measures of Dissolved Oxygen
should be in the range of 2.5 to 6 mg/L. If the

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
DO level drops, the degree of nitrification will
normally drop as well, which could be a sign
of blinding or saturated flow conditions — any-
thing that might inhibit free air from flowing
into the system. (Though it's quite possible to
have low filtrate DOs and still have high effluent
quality, as measured by BOD and TSS levels.)
Biological Growth on Filter
With "fixed film" treatment systems, biological
growth on the filter media is natural. The biomat
should appear light -brown to dark -brown in
color and gelatinous in texture.
Influent Characteristics
Influent characteristics will greatly affect the
amount of nitrogen reduction that is possible
from any wastewater treatment system.
pH: For normal residential nitrogen loads,
PH typically needs to be 6-8.
Alkalinity: Alkalinity is essential for nitrification.
For each part ammonia that is nitrified, 7.14
parts alkalinity are consumed (buffering the
acidity caused by the release of hydrogen ions).
Consequently, if the degree of nitrification is less
than expected, it could simply be that there isn't
sufficient alkalinity to support more. Typical resi-
dential nitrification requires alkalinity above 250±
mg/L for recirculating processes and double that
for single pass processes. Many wastewater streams
do not have sufficient alkalinity to support complete
nitrification.
Wastewater streams without sufficient alkalinity
to support complete nitrification may, depending
on the type of process, cause a depletion in the
alkalinity to the point where the pH correspond-
ingly drops to a level that causes the microbial
activity to degrade (<6±). Recirculating the efflu-
ent helps, since half the alkalinity can be restored
in the recirc or process tank, wherever denitrifica-
tion occurs (and adjusting the recirc ratios may
also bring the pH back to preferred operating
levels). But wastewater streams that are alkalinity -
starved can't provide for 100% nitrification.
The use of low flush fixtures requires special
consideration. Low flush fixtures tend to reduce
hydraulic loads, which causes elevation of
wastewater constituents (i.e., BOD, TSS, TKN,
etc.). In this case, the available alkalinity in the
water supply may not be adequate to accomplish
the full level of nitrification desired.
These constraints exist for all wastewater treat-
ment operations, regardless of whether the
operation involves a suspended growth contact
stabilization process or an attached growth
packed bed filter. Packed bed systems will per-
form better, especially if they have a large
attached growth surface area per unit volume
ratio, because of the micro -sites near the attached
Side of the biomat, where denitrification typically
occurs, returning some of the alkalinity. Textile
packed bed filters, because of their large surface
area per unit volume ratio, tend to perform even
better. Nevertheless, additional buffering may be
necessary to accomplish the level of nitrification
desired.

Alkalinity is not a specific polluting
substance, but a combination of
factors. It is the ability of water to
neutralize an acid, and is due primari-
ly to the presence of carbonate (see
pH). Alkalinity is also essential for
nitrification (for each part ammonia
nitrified, 7.14 parts alkalinity are
used.) Insufficient alkalinity will result
in incomplete nitrification.

What is Ultraviolet Light?
Ultraviolet light is found in nature as a component of sunlight. Located on the spectrum just below visible light,
ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye. At the frequency (254 nanometers) produced by the lamps in IWG's
Water Treatment Units, ultraviolet light is very effective in the destruction of micro-organisms like bacteria (E. coli,
Bacillus anthracis, Vibrio cholerae, etc.), viruses (influenza, Polio, etc.) and protozoa (Cryptosporidium parvum and
Giardia lamblia are two examples). Pre-treatment of the water is required to produce clear water for the ultraviolet
light to penetrate and destroy micro-organisms. In some cases, 185 nm wavelength (ozone producing) ultraviolet
lamps are used to reduce Total Organic Carbon in addition to disinfecting the wastewater.

After Exposure to Ultraviolet - Bonds Broken
Studies show that DNA molecules in the nucleus of micro-organisms in water will absorb ultraviolet light. The organism is
inactivated when sufficient dosage has been absorbed to modify the molecular structure in the DNA. This results when exposure
to ultraviolet light causes two thymine molecules to form an inappropriate bond, or dimer. The effect of numerous thymine
dimers forming along the DNAchain inhibits replication of the organism. It may not be killed instantly, but the scrambling of the
genetic code in the nucleus prevents reproduction, rendering it non -viable and harmless to humans.
The amount of energy required to produce.this effect is referred to as the lethal dosage. Dosage is measured in micro -waft
seconds per square centimeter (µW-sec%m2). Most harmful micro-organisms are reduced by 99.9% or more with a dosage of
20,000 µW-sec/cm2. Properly maintained IWG Wastewater Treatment Units produce a minimum of 26,000 µW-sec/cm2.

IWG-1-LV-WW-3 Specifications
Disinfection Performance: - greater than a 99.9% bacterial reduction
- a bacterial fecal colony count of less than 200 per 100 mi.
Required Environmental Characteristics:
Installation:
Water Temperature Range: 330 F. to 1000 F.
Ambient Temperature Range: 330F. to 112° F.
For optimum results, the sewage treatment system effluent must possess the following characteristics before
entering the sterilizer unit:
Total Organic Carbon count of less than 10mg/L* Turbidity of less than 8 NTU
Suspended Solids count of less than 10mg/L* Transmissivity of greater than 50%
The unit is designed for indoor use only (considered to be a housing that is water -tight and/or weatherproof). The
unit must be supported in its housing - not free hanging from its pipe connections.
*The sewage treatment system providing input to the unit should have National Sanitation Foundation certification
under Standard 40, Class One.

INTRODUCTION
Geoflow's WASTEFLOW®drip system disposes of effluent below the ground surface through 1/2"
pressurized pipes. It is designed using the grid concept with supply and flush manifolds at each
end creating a closed loop system. The result of the grid design is a complete subsurface wetted
area.
The objective with effluent disposal is usually to dispose of the effluent using the minimum area as
quickly and safely as possible at an approximately uniform rate throughout the year. If the main
purpose of the Geoflow system is to irrigate, then please use the standard irrigation manual for
landscape available from Geoflow, Inc.
Subsurface drip is the most efficient method to dispose of effluent. Small, precise amounts of wa-
ter are uniformly applied under the soil surface from multiple points.
The main advantages of Geoflow's subsurface irrigation for effluent disposal are:
• Human and animal contact with effluent is minimi� reducing health risks.
• Correctly designed systems will not cause puddling or ninoff.
• It can be used under difficult circumstances of high water tables, tight soils,
rocky terrain, steep slopes, around existing buildings, trees or other vegeta-
tion, and on windy sites.
• Disposal of water is maximized by means of evapotranspiration.
• The system requires no gravel. It is easy to install directly into indigenous
soils and the natural landscape can be maintained
• Minimizes deep percolation.
• Consumption of nitrates by the plant material is increased.
• Invisible and vandal proof installations.
• Ten-year warranty for root intrusion, workmanship and materials. Systems
are durable with a long expected life.
• Non intrusive. It allows use of the space while operating.
• Easily automated.
• Effluent can be re -used for irrigation.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS:
See Diagram 1 on page 4.
A typical drip system installation will consist of the elements listed below:
1. WASTEFLOW® DRWUNE
(See Appendix 1 on page 21 for product specification)
WASTEFLOW lines carry the water into the disposal/reuse area. WASTEFLOW lines are connected to
the supply and return with Compression or Lockslip fittings. Standard spacing between lines and
emitters is 24" on center. The pipe has no joints that may pull apart during installation and is ideal
for tractor mounted burying machines. It is sold in 500-ft rolls. For export 400-m rolls are avail-
able. Rolls of alternative lengths may be special ordered-
WASTEFLOW dripline features:
a) ROOTGUARD®
The risk of root intrusion with an emitter slowly releasing nutrient rich effluent directly into
the soil is well known to anyone who has observed a leaking sewer pipe. Geoflow has an ex-
clusive license for ROOTGUARD, to protect emitters from root intrusion. ROOTGUARDO is
wariantied for 10 years.
b) Turbulent flow path
Wasteflow drip emitters are pre -inserted in the tube 6", 12" or 24" apart with 24" being the
most popular. Angles in the emitter flow path are designed to cause turbulence in order to
equalize flow between emitters and keep the emitters clean. Geoflow emitters boast large
flow paths, which, coupled with turbulent flow, have proven over the years to be extremely
reliable and dependable.
c) Bactericide
Geoflcw's WASTEF Low has an inner lining impregnated with a bactericide, Ultra Fresh DM-
50, to inhibit bacterial growth on the walls of the tube and in the emitter.
d) WASTEFLOW Classic and WASTEFLOW PC Dripline
For WASTEFLOW Classic the flow rate delivered by the emitter is a function of the pressure at
the emitter. WASTEFLOW PC will have a constant flow rate at all pressures from 7 to 60 psi -
to ensure a long life the recommended operating range is 10 to 45 psi.
We recommend that WASTEFLOW PC be used when the advantages are of substantial eco-
nomic value.
i) Wasteflow PC can be nin longer distances than WASTEFLOW Classic.
u) Steep slopes. Systems should be designed for the dripline lateral to follow the contour.
When this is practical, the extra cost of installing pressure regulators required for
WASTEFLOW Classic would likely be less than the incremental cost of WASTEFLOW
PC.
iii) Rolling terrain. If the difference in height from trough to peak exceeds six feet then
WASTEFLOW PC should be used vacuum relief valves must be placed at the top of
each rise.

2. CONTROLLERS
(See Appendix 3 on page 27 for product specifications)
Controllers are used for time dosing and time flushing of the filter and dripfield. GEO controllers
include a programmable logic control interface for field modifications. They can be used on sys-
tems ranging in size from one to four zones at the time this manual was printed All controllers
include a surge arrestor, elapsed time meter and counter. For larger systems please inquire about
our Wasteflow Manager controller which has monitoring and telemetry capabilities.
WASTEFLOW dripflelds depend on pumps to supply effluent and pressure to the field These must
be sized according to flow and pressure requirements. Look for submersible effluent pumps from
a dependable source. Geoflow does not endorse a single manufacturer, but does advocate you use
a pump that is readily serviced in your area.
4. FI.TERs
(See Appendix 2 on page 24 for product specifications)
Geoflow systems use a self-cleaning Vortex Filter with a stainless screen 150 mesh / or 100 micron
filter element. The self-cleaning action is efficient over a range of flow rates depending on the fil-
ter size. The clean -out port is at the base and can be opened or closed manually or automatically.
If using a manual flush valve, please keep the valve cracked open slightly at all times for continuous
flushing. The controller will fully open automatic flush valves.
5. SUPPLY MANIFOLD -
This carries the water from the dosing tank to the disposal area. Rigid PVC is usually used and
must be designed to slope back to the pump tank in freezing conditions. The velocity in the mani-
fold should be between 2 feet per second and 5 feet per second (fps). Refer to PVC pipe sizing
chart in the appendix to detennine the best diameter for your application.
6. RETURN MANIFOLD
In order to help dean the system, the ends of the drip lines are connected together into a common
return line, most often made of rigid PVC. This line will help equalize pressures in the system.
Flushing should be done frequently during the installation period Periodic flushing under full sys-
tem pressure will guarantee a long system life. The return manifold should be installed to drain the
line back to the pretreatment tank in freezing climates.
7. PRESSURE REGULATOR
(See Appendix 6 on page 32 for product specification)
Pressure regulators fix the inlet pressure at a given rate and are required with WASTEFLOW Classic.
Under normal operating conditions, pressure in the drip lines should be:
10 psi to 45 psi for WASTEFLOW Classic and
7 psi to 60 psi for WASTEFLOW PC

DESIGN PARAMETERS:
1. SELECT AMA
Select the area with careful consideration of the soil, the terrain and your State and County regulations.
Be sure the field is not in a flood plain or bottom of a slope where excessive water may collect after
rain.
2. SOi<. APPLICATION DESIGN
Note This paragraph is extracted from Subsurface Trickle Irri a�ystem for On -Site Wastewater
Di§po And Reuse by B. L. Carlile and A. Sanjines.
The basis of the information is from the Texas Health Department regulations. The rules in
your County and State may vary.
The instantaneous water application rate of the system must not exceed the water absorption
capacity of the soil. A detemrination of the instantaneous water absorption capacity of the
soil is difficult, however, since the value varies with the water content of the soil. As the soil
approaches saturation with water, the absorption rate reduces to an equilibrium rate called the
"saturated hydraulic conductivity." Wastewater application rates should be less than 10 per-
cent of this saturated equilibrium.
Even though the trickle irrigation system maximizes the soil absorption rate through the low
rate of application, thus keeping the soil below saturation, there will be times when the soil is
at or near saturation from rainfall events.. The design must account for these periods and as-
sume the worst case condition of soil saturation. By czgzng fora sa, tvfadorof 10 or 12, bz cn
ilesc&mu&h rcarlicczar iuity, tFaeOa&mivill leztr i--Icyti rr stgfdx tvm had"4Hfiaxtmu i&
cut w f("faikmdrrirgo am mWpaicds
Using a safety factor of 12, a suitable design criterion would be to load the system at the esti-
mated hydraulic conductivity but apply water for only a total of 2 hours per day out of the
available 24 hours. By applying wastewater for a total of 2 hour per day, particularly if applied
in "pulses" or short doses several times per day near the soil surface where the soil dries the
quickest, this would keep the soil absorption rate at the highest value and minimize the poten-
tial of water surfacing in poor soil conditions.
As stated previously, this design criterion will under -load the system at all times except when
the soil is at or near saturation from rainfall. If designing for an efficient irrigation system, the
water supply may not be sufficient to meet the demands of a lawn or landscaped area during
peak water demand months. This problem can be overcome by either of two solutions: add
additional fresh -water make-up to the system during the growing season to supply the needed
water for plants in question; or split the system into two or more fields with necessary valves
and only use one of the fields during the peak water demand months and alternate the fields
during winter months or extremely wet periods, or use both fields simultaneously if the pump
capacity will so allow.
Table 1 shows the recommended hydraulic loading rates for various soil conditions, using a
safety factor of at least 12 with regard to the equilibrium saturated hydraulic conductivity rate
of the soil. These loading rates assume a treated effluent with BOD and TSS values of less
than 20 mg/l is produced in the pre-treatment system.

NOTES:
1) Problems with drip disposal fields occur when soils are misinterpreted If in doubt, choose
the more restrictive soil type from the table above.
2) "Soil type" should be based on the most restrictive layer within two feet of the bottom of
the dripline. In many soils 1-ft. vertical separation from the limiting layer has proven suc-
cessful, and Geoflow recommends you follow State and Local guidelines.
3) The above chart is provided as a guide only. States and Counties may have regulations that
are different. Check your State guidelines and consult with your local health department.
3. DEP18 AND SPACING
WASTEFLOW systems usually have emitter lines placed. on 2 foot (600 mm) centers with a 2 foot
emitter spacing such that each emitter supplies a 4 sq. ft (0.36 m2) area. These lines are best placed
at depths of 6-10 inches (150 - 250 mm) below the surface. This is atypical design for systems on
sandy and loamy soils with a cover crop of lawn grass. Closer line and/or emitter spacings of 12
inches may be used on heavy clay soils or very coarse sands where lateral movement of water is re-
stricted Using closer spacings should not reduce the size of the field

7. EXCESSIVE LEVEL DIFFERENCES
AWASTEFLOW Classic. If the level variation within a WASTEFLOW Classic zone exceeds
six feet, individual pressure regulators should be placed for each six-foot interval.
WASTEFLOW PC. WASTEFLOW PC can tolerate very large height variations provided
the pressure remains within the 7 to 60 psi range, and preferably within 10 to 45 psi.
updated
At the end of each dosing cycle water in the dripline will flow down to the bot-
tom lines within the drip zone. This is called "lowhead drainage". On a slope
site Geoflow recommends installing small manifolds with a maximum of 1500 ft
of Geoflow dripline within each zone or sub -zone to offset lowhead drainage.
8. Hu.LY srrE
Concentrate drip lines at the top of the hill with wider spacing towards the bottom. In the rase of
compound slopes consult a professional irrigation designer or engineer.
.;: updated
9. REUSE FOR IRRIGATION
A good vegetative cover is an advantage to prevent erosion from the field and utilize water applied
to the rooting zone. Sites should be planted or seeded immediately after installation. Grasses are
particularly suitable for this application. Most lawn grasses will use 0.25" to 0.35" (6.3-8.9mm) of
water per day during the peak -growing season. This calculates to be about 0.16 to 0.22 gal/ft2/
day, a significant part of the daily effluent loading. By overseeding lawns with winter ryegrass, this
use efficiency can be continued through much of the year.
For vegetation using 0.16 to 0.22 gal/ft2/day by evapotranspiration, a sewage flow of 1000 gallons
per day would supply the water needs of a landscaped area of 4600 to 6400 sq. ft. without having to
add fresh water. For areas larger than this, the plants will suffer water stress during the hot months
unless additional fresh water is applied

SYSTEM INSTALLATION
1. INSTAUAnON GMEU ES
All drip systems require:
a. 100 micron / 150 mesh filter
A b. filter flush valve
c. field flush valve and
d at least one air vent in each zone
All Wasteflow Classic drip systems require a pressure regulator.
Handle your dripline and components with care. ROOTGUARD.® is temperature sensi-
tive. To assure a long life, store the drip line out of direct sunlight in a cool place. This
Ashould be a consideration when installing the system in very hot and sunny areas. Your
system life span will be increased if it is buried an extratwo or three inches below the soil
surface, to avoid the warn temperature extremes.
a) Excavation, filling and grading should have been finished before installation of the subsurface
drip system.
b) Be sure you have everything required for the installation before opening trenches. Pre-
assemble as many sets of components as practical above ground and in a comfortable place.
Compression or Lockslip adapters should be glued to PVC tees, riser units should be pre -
assembled, the submain manifold with tees can be pre -assembled and used to mark the begin-
ning and end of WASTEFLOW lines.
c) Condition soil moisture the day before opening trenches or installing WASTEFLOW. Remem-
ber it is much easier to install the system in moist soil. The soil should be moist but still should
allow the proper operation of the installation equipment. The soil surface should be dry so that
the installation equipment maintains traction.
d) Mark the four comers of the field The top two comers should be at the same elevation and
the bottom two comers should be at a lower elevation. Note for freezing conditions: the bot-
tom dripline must be higher than the supply and return line elevation at the dosing tank
e) Install a watertight dosing tank Note for freezing conditions the dosing tank should be at the
lowest elevation of the entire system.
f) Install a watertight riser on the dosing tank.
g) Determine the proper size for the supply and return manifolds. See Worksheet line (L).
h) Install the PVC supply line from the dosing tank, up hill through one lower and one upper cor-
ner stake of the disposal field Please refer to your State guidelines for depth of burial.
i) Paint a line between the two remaining comer stakes.
Install the GeoflOW WASTEFLOW dripline from the supply line trench to the painted line, ap-
proximately 6,, to 10" deep as specified. Upon reaching the painted line, pull the plow out of
the ground and cut the dripline 1' above the ground Continue this process until the required
footage of pipe is installed Geoflow dripline must be spaded according to specification (2 ft. is
standard). Depth of burial of dripline must be consistent throughout the field Take care not
to get dirt into the lines.
Geoflow Design and Installation Manual - 2000
15

k) Install the supply header with tees lined up at each Geoflow line.
1) Hook up the Geoflow lines to the supply header. Do not glue WASTEFLOW dripline.
m) Install the Vortex filter and filter flush valve, or install the pre -assembled Headworks between
the field and the pump tank on the supply line. Insulate the box in freezing conditions.
n) If using WASTEFLOW Classic and if specified with WASTEFLOW PC, install the pressure regula-
tor downstream of the filter or Headworks, just ahead of the disposal field, on the supply line.
Although the pressure regulator can be buried directly into the soil, it is preferable to install it
inside a small valve box for easy access. Insulate the box if freezing is a problem.
o) Install the pump.
p) Fill the dosing tank with fresh water and turn on the pump. Check for flow out the ends of all
of the Geoflow lines. Let the pump run for about 5 minutes to flush out any dirt. Shut off the
pump and tape the ends of the lines.
q) Dig the return header ditch along the line painted on the ground and back to the pre-treatment
tank. Start the return header at the farthest end from the dosing tank. The return line must
have slope back to the treatment tank or septic tank
r) Install the return header and connect all of the Geoflow lines. Care must be taken, not to kink
the dripline.
s) Install an air vacuum breaker at the highest point in the disposal field Use pipe dope or Teflon
tape and hand tighten.
t) Install a ball or solenoid field flush valve on the return line to the pretreatment tank unless a
Headworks is being used If a Headworks was installed on the supply line, connect the return
line back through the Headworks box. Open the field flush valve and turn on the pump to
flush lines then close the valve and check the field and all piping and connections for leaks.
Turn off the system
u) Install the floats in the dosing tank and wire up to the timer control. The timer control should
be set to pump no more than the design flow, do not set to match the treatment capacity.
v) Turn on the pump and check the pressure at the air vacuum breakei(s). It should be between
15 to 45 PSI. See the Worksheet line (H) for design pressure. Check the pressure in the
WASTEFLOW Headworks if used. It should be 5 psi or higher. If using a manual ball valve for
field flushing, crack it open until one PSI is lost and leave in that position.
w) Provide owner with final as -built diagrams, flow measurements and pressure readings at start-

2. WVVrERIZA'noN
Buried drip systems are not prone to frost damage because, in their design, vacuum release and
drain valves are provided Please follow the following precautions:
a) Manifolds, supply lines and return lines must be sloped back to their respective dosing or
treatment tanks. Under extreme conditions return and supply manifolds must be insulated
or buried below frostline. Be sure drain valve on flush line remains open long enough for
entire field to drain.
b) Remove the check valve at the pump.
c) _Insulate equipment boxes, including Headworks box or filter and field flush valve boxes as
well as zone dosing valves, pressure regulator and air vacuum relief valves. Use closed -cell
insulation such as perlite in a plastic bag.
d) The top of air vacuum relief valves must be no higher than soil surface.
e) If using an index valve to split field zones, be sure it is capable of self -draining.
f) WASTE FLOW lines will self -drain through the emitters into the soil. If the cover crop
over the dripfield is not yet adequately established, add hay or straw over the field for insu-
lation.
g) Mark the valve bo with a metal pin so you can find it in the winter when covered in snow.
h) If using manual filter flush valves or manual field flush valves, they should be left cracked
open slightly to provide for drainage of the flush line in freezing conditions.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE:
The best way to assure years of trouble free life from your system is to continuously monitor the
system and to perform regular maintenance functions. For large systems or systems with a BOD >
20 mg/l automation of maintenance is essential. For smaller systems with a BOD < 20 mg/1 bi-
annual inspection and maintenance is adequate.
1) Remove the spin filter and install a clean cartridge. Clean the used filter cartridge back at the
shop with a pressure hose. The filter cartridge should be cleaned from the outside inwards. If
bacteria buildup is a problem we advise first trying lye, and if the problem persists, soak it in a
chlorine bath. Soak the filter cartridge in a mixture of 50% bleach and 50% water.
2) Open the field flush valve.
3) Manually tum on the pump.
4) Flush the system for approximately five minutes.
5) Close the field flush valve.
6) Check for proper pressures in the field and if a ball valve is used reset the field flush valve for
1-psi loss.
7) Remove the lids on the vacuum breaker and check for proper operation.
8) Turn off the pump and reset the controller for auto mode.
9) Periodically remove and clean the field flush and filter flush valves.
10) Periodically remove and clean the field flush and filter flush valves.
11) Check for effluent surfacing in the field

DESCRIPTION
The flexible 1/2" polyethylene dripline has large
emitters regularly spaced in the line. With the drip -
line hidden about six inches below ground effluent
is distributed slowly and uniformly, reducing pond-
ing, even in difficult soils and hilly terrain.
WASTEFLOW is built to last. It is guaranteed to
be trouble -free from root intrusion with built-in
ROOTGUARDO protection, and the dripline wall
is protected from organic growth with a bactericide
lining.
WASTEFLOW provides uniform distribution.
The emitters have a Coefficient of variation (Cv )
of less than .05.
Different flow rates, dripline diameters and
emitter spacings can be special ordered.
Use 600 series compression adapters or
Lockslip fittings to connect the dripline to
PVC pipe.
ROOTGUARD• PROTECTION
WASTEFLOW dripline features patented ROOT -
GUARD technology to prevent roots from clog-
ging the emission points. The pre -emergent,
Treflan®, is bound into WASTEFLOW emitters
when they are molded to divert roots from growing
into the emitter outlet. The system is guaranteed
against root intrusion for 10 years.
BACTERICIDE PROTECTION
Ultra -Fresh DM50 is incorporated into the inner
lining of WASTEFLOW dripline to prevent bacte-
ria from forming and eliminates the deed to scour
the tubing. It is a tin based formula that defeats
the energy system of microbial cells.
WASTEFLOW DRIPLINE
WHEN TO USE WASTEFLOW PC VS. WASTEFLOW CLASSIC
Geoflow, Inc. offers WASTEFLOW dripline in both
pressure compensating (WASTEFLOW PC) and non -
compensating (WASTEFLOW Classic) models.
We recommend that WASTEFLOW PC be used when
the advantages are of substantial economic value.
a) Very long nrns.
b) Steep slopes. Systems should be designed for the
dripline lateral to follow the contour. If this is pos-
sible, the extra cost of pressure regulators required
for WASTEFLOW Classic would likely be less
than the incremental cost of WASTEFLOW PC.
c) Rolling terrain. If the difference in height from
trough to peak exceeds six feet then
WASTEFLOW PC should be used. Vacuum relief
valves must be placed at the top of each rise.
WASTEFLOW PC and WASTEFLOW Classic can be
interchanged to meet filter and zone flow requirements.

Description
The filters are placed between the pump and drip -
field to screen out any debris
Body — Two-piece threaded housing with O-ring
seal. Molded from high heat ABS and chemical
resistant glass reinforced plastic.
Screen - Sintemd stainless steel. Sintering is a
process in which three pieces of stainless steel
mesh are transformed into one; a perforated plate,
30m then 150 mesh. Screen collars molded from
vinyl for long life and durability.
Spun Plate and drain - Directional spin plate is
molded of PVC or fiberglass.
Vortex Spin Action - Incoming water is forced
through a directional nozzle plate onto the inside of
the stainless steel screen. A centrifugal motion
starts inside the screen chamber, throwing organic
and inorganic particles outward against the screen.
Gravity, moves the debris down the screen wall to
the 3/a" flush outlet at the base of the Vortex Filter.
VORTEX FILTERS
To stay clean, 2 criteria must be met::
a. Flow into the filter must be within the specified
range to produce a 5 to 8 psi pressure differen-
tial across the filter.
b. The filter flush valve must be partially to fully
open allowing debris to flush away.

Float functions:
-RaIoxb#0ffandLawktdAlarmFkw This float
turns off the pump when lowered. It is a secon-
dary off float that will prevent the operation of the
pump if the timer on and off float fails. Pumping
will be disabled in both the automatic and manual
modes. This float also activates the audible and
visual alarm. Pressing the illuminated PUSH TO
SILENCE button will silence the audible alarm
The alarm light will remain on until the float is
raised When raised, this float will enable opera-
tion of the pump.
• T#n?r On & Offjkto. Activates timer. Timer will
control pump cycles, beginning with the off mode.
•Oyer -rick tuner On & Offfkrat: Activates the over-
ride timer. Over -ride timer will control pump cy-
cles. The over -ride timer will finish at least one
complete cycle even if the over -ride float drops.
• High ktd alarmfia it. Activates the audible and vis-
ual alarm when raised. Audible alarm may be
silenced by pressing the illuminated PUSH TO
SILENCE button. The alarm light will remain
on until the float is lowered.
NOTE: We recommend the use of normally open
mercury control floats.
Pump and Valve Operation:
•PtmpdhwVc &am controlled by the timers when
the H-O-A switch is in the auto position. Under
normal conditions the "primary" timer will control
the pump. During high flow conditions, the over-
ride timer will control the pump. The over -ride
timer will cycle the pump more frequently than the
primary timer. The pump will dose for the same
amount of time but the time in between doses, or
the over -ride timer "off time", will be one half that
of the primary timer `off time". (For example, if
your primary timer settings are one hour fifty-four
minutes off and five minutes on then your over-
ride timer settings would be approximately fifty-
five minutes off and five minutes on.)
• The Vorkm Filter /k b take will open for 1 minute (field
adjustable) at the end of the pump cycle to allow the
filter to self -flush. When the Vortex Filter flush is
complete, the pump will remain activated for 15 sec-
onds (field adjustable) to accommodate the opening of
the field flush valve.
• 7befreldJk4sh uahewill open during the 15 seconds the
pump is still activated after filter flush cycle. After the
pump is deactivated the flush valve will remain open
for one minute (field adjustable) to allow for drainage
of the return line.
For severe freezing conditions allow five minutes
for the field to drain.
To periodically flush the dripfield, after 10 dosing cy-
cles (field adjustable) the pump will continue to run
for 5 minutes (field adjustable) after the field flush
valve is opened and the field flush valve will stay open
until all zones have been flushed This operation will
also occur after a power outage.
Panel Components:
Programmable logic module for timing and controls.
• Contactor and circuit breaker for pump (see panel de-
scription for max hp ratings and other specifications).
• Hand -Off -Auto (H-O-A) switches for pump and
valve operation.
• Connections/contacts for nomnally closed and nor-
mally open 24 VAC valves.
• Elapsed time meter and cycle counter for pump
monitoring built in to PLC.
• Circuit breaker for control power.
• Surge arrestor for lightening protection.
• 12" x 10" NEMA 4 X fiberglass enclosure.
• UL listed control parcel.

Description
The Solenoid Valve is electrically operated and
used to flush the dripfield and Vortex filter. It is
nommlly closed, and in the event of a power
failure the valve closes.
Features
Unique Dual Ported Diaphragm greatly minimizes
clogging. In operation, the diaphragm ports con-
stantly flex, inhibiting sand, silt and debris from
blocking the valve action.
The porting design also permits equal pressure on
both sides of the diaphragm wall, regardless of line
pressure when valve is not operating, and nearly
equal pressure across the wall when operating.
This feature prevents diaphragm "stretching", a
common cause of valve failure in valves that are
ported through the seat.
The DW Valve diaphragm is made of nylon fabric
reinforced Buna-N rubber; a grooved rib interlocks
with cover and body to prevent leakage.
Nylon exhaust orifice is non -corrosive and has
an opening sized larger than the diaphragm ports
so that any pieces of sand or silt passing through
the diaphragm will not be trapped beneath the
solenoid actuator.
Solenoid is constructed of molded epoxy resin hav-
ing no carbon steel components exposed thereby
eliminating possible external corrosion and deteno-
ration. Solenoid is completely waterproof, with an
0-ring seal, and complies with NEC Class II cir-
cuit requirements for 24V a.c. operation (also oper-
ates on 12 volts d.c. up to 75 psi).
The actuator is teflon coated stainless steel and
brass with a molded -in place rubber exhaust port
SOLENOID VALVES
seal; a stainless steel spring assures positive seating.
High strength. plastic glass -filled body and
cover designed to operate in heavy duty
commercial applications. Stainless steel 1/
inch cover bolts and mating brass body inserts
make re assembly easy.
Shock cone on diaphragm seat eliminates water ham-
mer in all except extreme cases.
Flow control. A brass, non -rising type flow control
stem for throttling the valve from full open to close
positions.
Manual bleed lever. An easy -to -use, hand operated
control bleeds valve to downstream; has stops for
open and closed positions.
Operating Data
Cold water working pressure: 150 psi
The DW Valve has excellent low flow characteristics
ideally suited for dripfield and Vortex filter applica-
tions.
Installation
Teflon tape is recommended. 1 inch FIP can be
bushed to 3/ inch. 1-1/2 inch FIP can be bushed to
1-1/4 inch. International threads. (Specify ISO)

SECTION VII - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
A. General: With proper operational and maintenance, the waste treatment and disposal facilities
should provide long term successful treatment and disposal of the wastewater generated by the
source. It should be emphasized that the treatment facilities, although relatively simple in
concept and operation will require daily attention if they are to perform properly. The operator in
responsible charge should be attuned to the possible changes in wastewater quantity and
characteristics, to the operational condition of mechanical equipment, and to weather, soil and
plant conditions affecting the performance of the" drip irrigation system. When testing, the
operator shall maintain a permanent record of flow and pressure readings for comparison
of readings taken at startup. He shall have knowledge of how to maintain the system to
ensure readings stay within bounds.
Waste Characteristics: The waste treatment facilities have been designed for the treatment of a
limited volume of domestic type wastewater only. No other type of waste stream including
condensate water shall enter the system. The detection by the operator of nuisance conditions
or odors reflecting the introduction of other types of waste into the system should be immediately
investigated and the source eliminated.
Bypassing: Bypassing of wastewater is strictly prohibited by law and subject to fine.
Operation, Maintenance and Monitoring Requirements:
System management entity, inspection / maintenance and reporting frequency requirements
shall be comparable to Type V (d) systems in Rule .1961(b), Table V(b), except that the
minimum inspection frequency shall be quarterly for any system.
The operator shall provide a permanent monitoring report log, which includes a log of all
malfunction notifications and maintenance activities.
Water Usage: The Owner/Operator/Manager shall record weekly the water consumption by
recording weekly water meter reading. The records shall be kept on a monthly chart and be
retained in permanent records. Reports shall be made available to the Operator. Any excess
water usage shall be stopped immediately.
System Maintenance: The Owner is responsible for the maintenance and proper operation of
the ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal system. The system shall be maintained
at all times to prevent seepage or discharge of sewage or effluent to the surface of the ground or
to surface water. The system shall be checked and the contents of the septic tank removed
periodically to ensure proper operation of the system. If seepage or other malfunctions do
occur, immediate action should be taken to remedy the problem. The Owner shall practice
water conservation and maintain the system as outlined in Ownership Responsibility.
All float switches shall be checked bi-weekly to determine that they are not fouled and that the
proper volume of effluent is being pumped. Pumps should be checked to ensure that they
remain submerged and are operating properly. The alarm system shall be checked for proper
operation. The ."push to test" button on the alarm should be checked regularly. Pump
maintenance should follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
Septic Tank: The septic tank represents a reliable treatment unit which, when shown a measure
of respect for its specific weaknesses, should provide years of service.
Periodic cleaning of scum and sludge in the septic tank is crucial in achieving required treatment
and preservation of the subsurface drip fields. After initial construction, the septic tank contents
should be visually inspected bi-annually. Upon removal of the plug in the inspection port on the
septic tank, if the thickness of scum and sludge layers combined exceeds approximately 24% of
the total water depth of the tank, and then the tank should be cleaned of its sludge and scum by
septic tank pumper. Long-term experience in observing sludge build-up may dictate shorter or
longer periods between inspections. The bio-filter shall be inspected and cleaned routinely.
Slotted Effluent Filter: On an annual basis, clean and inspect the effluent filter. When washing
the filter, debris must be sprayed directed back into the septic tank arfd riot onto the lawn. Note
in Maintenance Report. '_: _. 1,
2004
Parcel #2 Winding Trail Road Page 11 May 21, 2004
Concord, Cabanus County, NC ,;TT!.,

Drip System: System maintenance should be scheduled as called for herein by qualified
properly trained wastewater system maintenance personnel. Maintenance items should be
performed as follows: 1.
(1) Remove the spin -clean filter base and install a new stainless steel filter screen. Thoroughly
clean the used filter screen and maintain it in stock for the next scheduled system
maintenance.
(2) Manually operate drip field supply pump by opening control enclosure and placing H-O A
selector switch in the "H" or hand operated position.
(3) Monitor and document system operating pressure from pressure gauge located immediately
downstream from 1" spin clean filter and Schrader valves located at the ends of the
manifolds. (Record pressure readings and compare with previous readings. This will provide
a good indication of the system operation.)
(4) If system is operating at design pressure return the H-O A selector switch in the pump
control panel to the "A" or automatic operation setting.
(5) In the drain field area, remove the lids for each of the valve boxes which house the air /
vacuum relief valves. Inspect for ground water building. Clean and evacuate valve boxes
as necessary.
(6) Maintain and check the Moisture Sensor to ensure proper operation.
(7) Maintain and ensure that the drip field surface drains properly.
(8) Report system maintenance and findings to Owner as required by the permitting authorities.
Under no circumstances should heavy equipment be allowed to travel over the drip fields.
The area of the drip bed shall be maintained with a natural mulch cover to prevent erosion.
Summary: Daily attention, routine maintenance, and common sense operation of the
wastewater treatment facilities described herein should continue to provide environmentally
safe and satisfactory mechanical performance for many years. A lack of such care will most
certainly create innumerable problems and unnecessary expense.
SECTION VIII -OWNERSHIP RESPONSIBILITY
It must be kept in mind that this system is designed to accept a moderate amount of wastewater
(which is called the EFFLUENT), in a minimal water absorbing soil. Conservation measures must be
undertaken by all members of the facility to minimize the volume of water entering the disposal
system, including, but not limited to, the following precautions:
1. Provide water conserving plumbing fixtures within the facility; including toilets with flush
volume not exceeding 1.6 gallons/flush.
2. Develop conservative water use habits.
3. Monitor and maintain the system as necessary for proper operation.
4. Check and pump the septic tank sludge on a regular basis of approximately every year if
garbage disposal is included in the residence, or approximately every three years otherwise
as required by the regulations.
5. Make rapid repairs to leaking plumbing fixtures and faucets.
6. Maintain a natural mulch cover over the disposal field and prevent the growth of weeds.
7. Maintain filters on an as needed or scheduled basis.

Re: Soils Report for Proposed Residential Surface Drip Irrigation System
Dear Mr. Spencer:
Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA. (S&EC) has:erformed a soiVsite evaluation on
Parcel 2 located off Flowes Store Road un Cabarrus County, NC. This was performed at
your request as part of a pre oirtary plamung proceso in order to determine areas of soil,
which have potential for a surface drip irrigation wasie'water disposal system. This report
I.
details S&EC findings and provides the necessary soil/site information needed for a
surface irrigation sy9tern to be designed.
The Site is located in the southern portion of Cabarrus County, N, C. Am USDA. Natural
Resource Conservation Service soil survey for Cabarzus County was available for use in
utilizing recorded maps and data for the soil at this site. The upland soils on the site are
most like the Enon soil series. A profile description,is attached. Site 1 was advanced to
72 inches. The site consists of upland sideslopes. Expansive clay mineralogy in the
subsoil of the examined area can be an unsuitable condition fox subsurface disposal of
wastewater. The more coarsely textured topsoil on the site offers the opportutxity for
surface drip application of, treated wastewater. The slower permeability and/or high cation
exchange capacity of the subsoil prevent nutrients from being a limiting factor iri the
design of a drip irrigation system. The proposed drip field boundary was flagged in the .
field using orange S&EC logo flagging. The approxiihate size and shape of the potentially
usable soil area is shown on the attached sketch map.
The soil conditions in the proposed site area are &scribed in the accompanying soil profile
description. The site is forested land with slopes that a ange up to approximately 12%.
The attached water balance shows that the site can hydraulically assimilate 24-99 inches of
irrigation water per year. This is approximately cquivalcrat to 0.48 inches per week,
three -bedroom house (360 gallons per day design flmO would require a minimum of
8,375 sgUAre feet of wetted area for sprayfdnp application. The mammum instantaneous
application rate should not exceed 0.2 inches per hour;
Site disturbance should be absolutely minimized on the area to be used for drip application
of wastewater, If the existing vegetation is to be removed, theta special care (i.e, trees

Calculations
1. Maximum Instantaneous Application Rate
Utilizing the attached Table'] for typical ranges of soil infiltration rates the Exton
soil falls into the sandy loam class in the 9+°/d slope range. This infiltration rate, is
0.15 to 0.5 in/hr. '"The recommended gate is 6,2 in/hr,
2. Water Balance (Table 3)
A water balance was developed for the proposed irrigation field by
balancing water losses and gains;
Evapotranspiration + Natural runoff +Drainage = Precipitation,+Irrigation ..,
3. Data Inputs
A. Potential Evapotranspiration (PET)
P9T data were obtained from the Noah Carolina University
ExperiMent Station Bulletin 396, "We.ither and Climate in North.
Carolina", Data for the Piedmont region was uc5ed,
B. Drainage (DR)
The drainage term was calculated by tie procedure described in
US EPA, 625/1-77--008, "Process Des Xgn Manual ,for Land
Treatment of Municipal Wastewater". ; The percolation, or
drainage rate was calculated as 7% of !he permeability of the most
restrictive horizon in the soil. The rate used was 0.06 i(lower
subsoil). -nus 7% of 0.06 as 0,0042 iri/hr or 0.10 in/day_ ]input for this
figure is based on 31, 30, and 29 day, nr onths.
C. Natural Runoff (N-R)
Since the system is designed to operate with no runot$ only the
existing runoff is used in the calculatiol. his is the amount whichfall
occurs due to rainevents of intensities of 0.5 irOu or more
which is about 10% or less of total rainfall.

A. Precipitation (PPT)
Precipitation data were obtained fromithe Cabarrus County Soil Survey.
This data was gathered fronn 1951-1973 at Concord, Nortb Carolina_ The
total rainfall from the 2 years in 10 column listed in the soul survey was
utilized which was 49.45 inches. Themonthly totals were taken as a
percentage of this total rainfall. The yearly total was utilized to determine
average application rates.
The water balance application rates are assumed to be maximum rates in a 2 years in 10
rainfall year with normal distribution. Actual application rates will depend on actual
precipitation during a given year. j
specifications:
Assumed Design flow - 360 gal/day
Allowable Xmigation Rate - 0.043 ga!/ftz/day (0;48 in/week)
Total minimum area needed.for. sprayfield -- 81375 ft2 (wetted.area)
Maxunum Instantaneous Application Rate- 0.2 inft
The area required is the minimum wetted area needed for treated was application.
.The usable soil area indicated on the attached map was flagged (numbered l — .13) by
S&EC, and estimated to be in excess of 13,000 ftZ. The delineated'azea and property lines
should be surveyed to make sure all setback requireerents are met. The area flagged by
S&EC is more than enough area for the septic syste�. By flagging out more area than is
needed it gives you and your engineer more options on systern.placement and type.

Advan %AX
Treatment Systems, Overview
Orenco's AdvanTexTM-AX Treatment System is an innovative technology for onsite treat-
ment of wastewater. The heart of the System is the AdvanTexTM-AX Filter, a sturdy, water-
tight fiberglass basin filled with an engineered textile material. This lightweight, highly
absorbent textile material treats a tremendous amount of wastewater in a small space.
That's because textile has a very large surface area for biological breakdown of wastewater
components — about 5 times greater than that of an equivalent volume of sand. Yet the
AX10 has a footprint of only 10 sq. ft.
System Performance
Orenco Systems® has been researching, designing, and testing a variety of textile filters for
more than 5 years. Hundreds of Orenco's textile filters have been installed throughout the
United States on sites ranging from federal demonstration projects to university testing
facilities, single-family homes, commercial properties, and community systems.
Unlike other wastewater treatment technologies, the AdvanTexTM-AX Treatment System
provides consistent, reliable wastewater treatment, even during "peak flow" conditions.
The AdvanTexTM-AX Treatment System includes a processing tank and a control panel
with a programmable dosing timer. So it discharges small amounts of treated wastewater,
regularly, throughout the .day.
AdvanTexTM-AX treats waste to better than "secondary" standards. Effluent can be used
for drip or subsurface irrigation, or discharged to shallow, inconspicuous trenches. It can
also be discharged to fine-grained polishing -filters for coliform removal and water reuse.
System Benefits
Significantly smaller land area is required for the AdvanTexTM-AX Treatment System than is
required for sand and gravel filters. That's because textile has demonstrated the capacity to
support microbial populations that can treat filtered processing tank effluent at greater
hydraulic loading rates. In fact, loading rates for AdvanTexTM-AX Treatment Systems are
typically 5-20 times higher than for sand filters. In addition, reductions in drainfield size
are often permitted with AdvanTexTM Treatment Systems. Moreover, textile is lightweight,
making it ideal for prepackaging and shipping, which simplifies installation and reduces
costs.
Applications
The AdvanTexTM-AX Treatment System is ideal for ...
• New construction
• System upgrades and repairs
• Pretreatment of moderately high -strength waste
• Wherever typical secondary treatment standards suffice (min. 25 BOD/30 TSS)
System Operation and Maintenance
Like any advanced technology, the AdvanTexTM-AX Treatment System should be serviced
regularly. AdvanTexTM is easy to service, easy to clean, and generates virtually no trouble-
some activated sludge. Orenco Systems, Inc. provides a three-year warranty on all compo-
nents.

AdvanTex'm AX F1Iters Overview, coot
The AdvanTexTM-AX Treatment System comes with an audible alarm to signal maintenance or high
water conditions. And it's sized to allow for a minimum of 24 hours of wastewater storage (at average
daily flows). That means an operator can provide service to the system during normal working hours,
regardless of when the alarm occurs.
The AdvanTexTM-AX System's pumps typically run just 90 minutes per day, so AdvanTexTM-AX uses
very little power ... an average of $4 per month (based on the national average of eight cents per kilo-
watt hour). Compare that to power costs of up to $20-$60 per month for many "activated sludge" aero-
bic treatment units.
Treatment Methodology
The AdvanTexTM-AX Treatment System works just like a recirculating sand filter: a reliable, proven
technology that Orenco's engineers have helped to perfect over the past 20 years. While the treatment
process is similar, the proprietary treatment module is more efficient.
In an AdvanTexTM-AX Treatment System, wastewater percolates through the textile media, whose
complex fiber structure provides tremendous water -holding capacity and offers an extremely large sur-
face area for biomass attachment. A visible biological film normally develops on the filter medium
within a few days. 130D5 and TSS reductions occur almost immediately.
Design Criteria
The AdvanTexTM-AX (model AX10) uses a 1,500 gallon processing tank. The System is capable of
treating -45U gallons of residential strength effluent that meets the following parameters:
• Based on typical average daily flows (e.g., 50 gpcd).
• Residential peak weekly average flows are typically 2 times normal average daily flows (i.e., Qp`,`,a= 2Qa. Peak
weekly average flows meet typical regulations governing gpd-to-bedroom ratios)
• Typical average residential processing tank effluent characteristics with an effluent filter: BOD = 150 mg/L, TSS = 40
mg/L, TN = 65 mg/L, O & G = 20 mg/L
Final effluent quality will vary depending on influent waste strength. For commercial systems, please
contact Orenco's Application Engineering Department.

System Selection
There are two series of AdvanTeiJm Treatment Systems: an AX Series and an RX Series.
The AX Series treats residential strength wastewater to better than "secondary" standards.
The RX Series produces effluent that meets advanced wastewater treatment levels.
Both Series can be operated in one of two Modes. Mode 1 recirculates only through the
second compartmen of the._Process'Tank. Mode 3 recirculates throw&h the entire tank
for maximum nitrocen reduction. The final discharged effluent can be either "Filtrate -

Raw sewage enters the two -compartment Processing Tank through its inlet tee. In the first
compartment, the raw sewage separates into three distinct zones: a scum layer, a sludge
layer, and a clear layer. A flow -through port(s) in the Tank's baffle wall allows effluent
from the clear layer to flow into the second compartment of the tank. The Biotube® Pump
Package, in the second compartment, pumps filtered effluent to a distribution manifold in
the AdvanTex Filter. Effluent percolates down through the textile media and is collected in
the bottom of the filter pod. The treated effluent flows out of the filter pod through the

Filtrate Return Line that returns the treated effluent to the Recirculating Splitter Valve (RSV). The RSV
automatically splits or diverts the flow between the Processing tank and the final discharge. The RSV
also controls the liquid level within the Processing Tank. During extended periods of no flow, 100% of
the treated effluent is returned to the Processing Tank. For the RX Series, a continuously running 20-
watt ventilation fan gently pushes air through the textile media, ensuring adequate oxygen is available
for biological treatment. The AX Series filters have a passive vent system and do not require the use
of a fan.
Filter Sizing
The AX Series textile filter is currently available in one size, Model AX10, which is designed to handle
up to a three bedroom home with a design flow of up to 450 gallons per day of residential waste that
meets the criteria in the "Residential Strength Wastewater" table, below. A four bedroom home requires
two AX10 pods. Consult Orenco or an authorized dealer for larger system designs.
The RX Series textile filter is currently available in one size, Model RX30, which is designed to handle
up to a four bedroom home with a design flow of up to 600 gallons per day of residential waste that
meets the criteria in the "Residential Strength Wastewater" table, below Consult Orenco or an author-
ized dealer for larger system designs.

Maximum allowable wastewater strength pumped to an AdvanTexTm Treatment System is Residential Strength Wastewater."
Residential strength wastewater is defined as primary sewage effluent from a septic tank that does not exceed the above
parameters.
Processing Tank Requirements
Homes up to three bedrooms require a minimum two -compartment, 1500 gallon tank with minimum
12-square-inch flow -through port(s) at 60-70% of the lowest normal liquid level (see "Typical Liquid
Level Positions" drawing). The first compartment should have a minimum 1000 gallon volume.
Four bedroom homes require a minimum two -compartment, 2000 gallon tank with minimum 12-
square-inch flow -through port(s) at 60-70% of the lowest normal liquid level. Although not preferred,
two 1000 gallon single -compartment tanks in series is an acceptable alternative.
All tanks must meet minimum structural requirements and be completely watertight, including the
riser/tank connection. See structural and watertightness criteria in Orenco's "General Specifications,"
document ATP-ES-SPEC-1, for detailed recommended specifications.

Recommended Tankage and Filter Units
The following chart summarizes the recommended tankage and number of textile filter units based on
the number of bedrooms in the home. Recommendations are based on typical average daily flows of 50
gpcd. (The typical range is 40-60 gpcd). Recommendations also assume that residential peak weekly
average flows are typically two times normal average daily flows (i.e., Qpwa = 2a) and peak weekly
average flows meet typical regulations governing gpd-to-bedroom ratios.

*Base design flows on maximum of 2 occupants per bedroom.
**Systems of 6 bedrooms or greater will require a qualified designer.
Design Loading Rates
Orenco's suggested design loading rates are based on typical per capita flow rates and average strength
characteristics expected from residential type installations, as shown above.
Performance (i.e., filter sizing) is a function of the expected typical loads with periodic weekly highs
(typically the daily mass loading is based on the expected daily flows and parameter strength). If the
loads are higher than expected (up to about 600mg/L BOD, 300 mg/L TSS, and 35 mg/L greases and
oils), filter size may be proportionately increased based on the above typical residential strengths.
When wastewater characteristics are higher than these, a thorough investigation of all parameters
should be performed, and it is likely that a supplemental method of pretreatment will need to be engi-
neered.
The void capacity, surface area per unit .volume, and moisture -holding capacity of textile are many
times greater than that of sands or gravels, thereby enabling equal treatment at higher loading rates. If
the loading rate (or mass load) needs to be reduced to meet discharge limits, it's a simple matter of
adding additional modular units. Operationally, the module's flexible and easily serviceable features
make AdvanTexTM units an ideal, efficient, and effective solution for all wastewater treatment applica-
tions with domestic waste characteristics.
For residential, cluster, and commercial applications in which wastewater strengths exceed the average
(because of low water use, special cooking or food processing practices, or other special circum-
stances), system sizing can be made proportionate based on the actual or expected mass loads vs. typi-
cal mass loads.

Qa = 10 gpd/ft2
System size will also depend on discharge limits and management levels. An adequate level of service
and management is required and stringent discharge limits may require additional O&M or filter upsiz-
ing. System performance may be retarded if the system is overloaded for an extended period of time,
but that normally does not constitute system failure. Taking control and managing the applied loads
will generally bring the system back in compliance. Adding additional modules may be necessary to
accommodate growth or increases in usage or wastewater strength. Again, when the wastewater char-
acteristics are higher than previously discussed, a thorough investigation of all parameters is required.
Pumping Equipment
Pumping equipment shall be an Orenco ProSTEPTM effluent pumping package.
Timer Settings and Recirculation Ratios
The operation of the pump in the second compartment is controlled by a programmable timer in the
control panel, which allows the pump to dose the filter for short periods (usually about a minute or
less), from a minimum of 72 to a maximum of 240 times a day. Suggested orifice loading rate is 0.25
to 0.5 gal/orifice/dose. Suggested maximum orifice loading rate is 0.75 gal/orifice/dose. This frequent
"micro -dosing," which optimizes the treatment process, occurs 24 hours a day to maintain the proper
biological environment. At startup, the timer should be set to achieve a 5 to 1 recirculation ratio, based
on the expected actual average daily flow. Depending on the system's performance and measured actu-
al flow, the recirculation ratio can be adjusted.

Typical Liquid Level Positions
Float Settings and Operation
The upper and lower liquid level limits are controlled by two floats. The top float or "high water
alarm/override timer" float should be set 1-2 inches below the invert of the tank's inlet. The bottom
float or "low water alarm/redundant off' float should be set approximately 2 inches above the top of
the Biotube cartridge or the minimum liquid level of the pump, whichever is greater. The "Typical
Liquid Level Positions" drawing shows the typical positions of the floats in the tank.
For "blend discharge" system operation, a middle float, known as a "discharge timer enable" or "sole-
noid valve enable," is used to control final discharge of blended effluent. See drawings le and 3e as
examples of blend discharge.
Under normal system operation, the liquid level in the tank won't rise to the top float level nor drop to
the bottom float level. If the liquid level rises to the top float, the high water alarm is sounded and a
second programmable timer is initiated. This second override timer is normally set at a faster rate to
drop the liquid level back to the normal range. An adjustable counter allows the override timer to oper-
ate a minimum number of cycles before returning to the normal, default timer operation, thereby mini-
mizing frequent nuisance alarms. If a faster timer rate is not desired, the override timer can be set at the
same rate as the default timer. If the liquid level drops to the bottom float, either the Biotube filter car-
tridge needs cleaning or one of several possible system abnormalities has occurred (siphoning, tank
leak, pipe line breakage, etc). Refer to the installation instructions and O&M manual for more com-
plete information on troubleshooting abnormal conditions.

Design Criteria, coot
Surge Volume
For most residential applications, the recommended surge volume is approximately 150 to 250 gallons.
The actual surge volume used should be approximately 50 to 100% of the actual average daily now.
The surge volume is the volume between the normal low liquid level and the high water alarm float.
The normal low liquid level is the level atwhich 100% of the filtrate returns to the tank. For most resi-
dential installations, the low liquid level will be approximately 5 to 6 inches below the top of the RSV
Cage. See the "Typical Liquid Level Positions" drawing for description of typical RSV and float set-
tings for residential systems installed in two -compartment tanks.
Cold Weather Considerations
Both the AX10 and the RX30 are available with two inches of insulation attached to the bottom of the
lid. Installing insulation around the sides of the filter pods themselves is optional and is done onsite as
needed.
With RX Series systems, there are three options for providing air to the ventilation fan.
1) Draw atmospheric air of ambient temperature into the fan. (To date, drawing in freezing
ambient air has not substantially hindered the operation of AdvanTexTM Treatment Systems
installed in such places as Colorado, Vermont, and Minnesota.)
2) Draw air from a crawl space or garage into the fan. This option allows slightly warmer air to
be pushed through the RX30.
3) Install a thermostatically controlled in -line heater to pre -heat the air drawn by the fan. This
option may be desirable in extreme climate conditions. Consult Orenco for more details if
this option is being considered.
Other cold weather considerations include standard practices used with most onsite pump systems,
such as allowing all lines to drain, insulating processing tank lids, and backfilling risers with pea gravel
if frost -heave is a concern.

Treatment Process and Performance Expectations
Processing Tank
The processing tank provides primary wastewater treatment. The tank is an enclosed, watertight recep-
tacle designed to collect wastewater; segregate settleable and floatable solids (sludge and scum); accu-
mulate, consolidate, and store solids; digest organic matter; and discharge treated effluent. BOD (bio-
chemical oxygen demand) removals of greater than 65% and TSS (total suspended solids) removals of
greater than 70%. are easily accomplished.
The tank operates as a plug -flow type of reactor (fluid and particles enter and exit the tank in progres-
sive sequence). Wastewater separates into three distinct layers: a floating scum layer, a bottom sludge
layer, and a clear zone in between, which is relatively free of large solids. A screened pump vault
located at the outlet end of the tank draws liquid effluent from the clear zone, and the screened effluent
is dosed to the next step in the treatment process ... the AdvanTekrm Textile Filter.
Since the AdvanTexTM Treatment System operates in the recirculating mode, the filtrate from the
Textile Filter returns to the processing tank in one of two ways: to the back of the tank in Mode 1 and
to the front of the tank in Mode 3. This plumbing configuration affects effluent quality. Effluent qual-
ity is also contingent upon a number of other conditions inside the tank:
• strength and characteristics of incoming waste
• average flow rate of 40-60 gallons per capita per day
• adequate long-term solids retention for thorough digestion (see "Pump -Out Intervals," Section
• watertightness of tank (for proper stratification of incoming waste)
• proper size of tank (for minimum 24-hour hydraulic retention time in the tank's clear zone)
If the above conditions are met, you can expect the following treatment performance from the process-

Treatment Process and Performance Expectations
AdvanTexTM Textile Filter
The AdvanTexTM textile filter provides secondary wastewater treatment. The filter is a sturdy, water-
tight fiberglass basin filled with an engineered textile material. This lightweight, highly absorbent tex-
tile material treats a tremendous amount of wastewater in a small space.
The AdvanTexTM filter operates in the recirculating mode, just like a recirculating sand or gravel filter,
but loading rates are typically 5-20 times higher, for a number of reasons. For one thing, the textile
media has tremendous surface area: 20,000 square feet of surface area for biological breakdown of
wastewater components with the AX model and 60,000 square feet with the RX model. Textile also
has a greater void area (for free -flow of oxygen) and greater water -holding capacity.
Wastewater percolates both through and between the textile media. A visible biological film normally
develops on the filter medium within a few days. BOD5 and TSS reductions occur almost immediately.
Within the filter, aerobic conditions exist that are ideal for microbes that convert ammonia to nitrate
(nitrification). Other conditions exist, too, that result in further nitrogen reduction within the media.
Some AdvanTexTM filters (Mode 3) are configured so that the filtrate recirculates back to the high -car-
bon, low -oxygen environment of the processing tank, which is ideal for microbes that reduce nitrates to
nitrogen gas (denitrification). Harmless nitrogen gas is then released freely back into the atmosphere.
The acclimation period for nitrification may range from four to eight weeks, or longer in colder
climates.
AdvanTexTM filtrate effluent quality is dependent upon proper characteristics of the recirc/blend efflu-
ent flowing into the filter (which, in turn, is dependent on the conditions described on the previous
page). If proper conditions are met, and with typical average daily flows of 40-60 gallons per capita
per day, you can expect the following treatment performance (by Mode):

Routine Cleaning & Maintenance Procedures
Orenco Systems® recommends regular inspection and maintenance of AdvanTexTM Treatment Systems
and requires it as a condition of purchase for its RX Series. Copies of inspection and maintenance
reports, along with any additional documentation, must be forwarded to and retained by the Authorized
AdvanTexTM Treatment System Dealer who sold the system. If no Dealer, then the documentation
must be forwarded to Orenco Systems, Inc., 814 Airway Avenue, Sutherlin, OR 97479, ATTN:
Systems Engineering.
Following is a list of the routine cleaning and maintenance procedures we recommend or require. All
activities are to be performed three months after start-up and then every 12 months thereafter, or more
frequently, if necessary.
Control Panel/Pumps/Alarms
1. Check pump operations. Place the MOA switch to manual and make sure the pump runs. Then
switch back to automatic and continue to check the automatic operation of the alarm floats, the
recirc timer on the floats, the discharge timer on/off, and timer overrides. Refer to the installation,
operation, and setting instructions for the control panel that comes with the system. A set of
instructions is stored in a plastic pocket on the inside of the panel door.
2. Record motor run amps and voltages on the Field Maintenance Report Form. If the voltage drop
exceeds National Electric Code (NEC) requirements, check pump windings and have an electrician
verify the service line.
3. Verify that the programmable timer settings for all pumps are correct. If the timer settings have
been changed, the current setting and date of change should be written on your Timer Setting
Instructions and Record of System Facts, at the front of this Manual. Place the date and your ini-
tials by the recorded change.
4. If the control panel has an elapsed time meter (ETM) and/or a cycle counter (CT), read and record
these values on the Field Maintenance Report Form. ETM's and CT's are valuable troubleshooting
tools if problems occur with the system.
5. Confirm operation of audible and visual alarms per the installation, operation, and setting instruc-
tions for the control panel that comes with the system.
Pumping System
Pump systems should be inspected annually to ensure that they are operating properly. Unscrew the
stainless steel bolts that fasten the fiberglass lid over the pumping equipment. Remove the fiberglass
lid for an inspection that includes these steps:
1. Verify that there are no obvious holes or leaks in the riser, or, around the perimeter of the riser con-
nection to the tank. ;

AdvanTek7m O&M Manual
Page 10
2. Inspect splice box to make sure it's free of moisture and its connections are secure.
3. Verify that floats are in good condition and properly secured to the float tree. Verify that float cords
are neatly wrapped inside the riser so that they cannot interfere with the operation of the floats.
4. Verify float operation. With MOA switch in automatic, simulate system operation by lifting the
floats in the same order that the liquid would lift them (bottom first, top last).
5. Determine whether the effluent filter needs cleaning by testing the change in the tank's liquid level
when the pump is on. Turn the recirc-pump on by flipping the MOA switch in the control panel
(Figure 4 or 5) to manual. Watch the liquid level inside the screened vault as the pump is run-
ning for about 30 seconds to determine if there is any noticeable liquid level differential
between it and the tank liquid level. Return the MOA switch to auto. When the liquid level dif-
ference between the inside and outside of the vault is four inches or more; or if the low-level alarm
is activated, the Biotubee cartridge may need to be cleaned. Refer to the installation instructions for
Screened Pump Vaults if cleaning is necessary.
6. Pull the pump and check the intake screen. Wash off particles as necessary. Record kinds of parti-
. cles (cigarette butts, hair, lint, grease build-up, etc.) on the Field Maintenance Report form.
7. Visually inspect the Recirculating Splitter device (if applicable) and verify that the liquid level in
the tank is within the normal range. If the liquid level is high, the Recirculating Splitter device may
not be working properly.
Processing Tank
1. Verify no inlet flow. Access the inlet inspection port for visual verification of lack of flow with all
household appliances "off." If the inlet inspection port isn't readily accessible, then listen for trick-
ling water from the access port.
2. Inspect the processing tank for liquid depth, odor, color of scum, effluent characteristics (oil/grease,
foam, turbidity), and sludge and scum thickness. (After the first year's measurement of septic tank
sludge and scum thickness, measurements only need to be taken about every three years.)
Measurements of solids accumulation help to determine when the septic tank needs pumping. A
recommendation for pumping should be made when there is an accumulation of scum extending to
a depth of about three (3) inches above the top of the outlet ports of the pumping vault or an accu-
mulation of sludge to a depth within six (6) inches below the bottom of the outlet ports.
Textile Filter
1. Inspect for ponding.* The filter should not be saturated. Effluent should move freely through the
media.
2. While manifold is pressurized, check for proper positioning of orifice shields over each orifice.

a
AdvanTexTM O&M Manual
Page 11
3. Verify that there is equal spray on and under all orifices. (Each orifice should show signs of organ-
ic biomat build-up on and underneath it.)
4. Check for clogged orifices (orifices without spray or biomat build-up underneath).
5. Assess the character and"color of the biomat. If it seems appropriate, take a photo and comment on
the growth and characteristics of the biological mat under and around the orifice shields. Biomats
are natural and normally appear light -brown to dark -brown in color and gelatinous in texture. If the
mat appears too light in color (yellowish with the texture of lard, wax, or margarine), the grease and
oil concentrations should be checked.
6. Check the odor emitting from the filter. If a strong or offensive odor (e.g., smell of rotten eggs, rot-
ten cabbage, etc.) is emitted, measure the DO level in the filtrate and recirculation chamber and
adjust the recirc time, if necessary. (Normally, systems will smell musty, earthy, or moldy but not
pungent).
8. Check squirt height and compare residual pressure against the start-up value. If the squirt height is
40-50% higher than the start-up value, clean and flush the manifold and verify again that all ori-
fices are clear. Re -check squirt height.
9. For the RX Series filter only, verify ventilation fan operation and air flow. Use an anemometer
(available through Orenco) to measure the air flowing through the system. Record inlet flow and
outlet flow, to ensure there isn't a large difference between them. A large difference means that
leaking or by passing is occurring. Clean as necessary.
If there is ponding because of a build-up of oil and grease, scrape a sample of the biomat and have
it analyzed by an environmental lab to determine its characteristic. For the AX Series filter only:
If there is ponding of indeterminate cause, coupled with a pungent odor, it may be necessary to
clean the textile media. (Excessive cleaning will retard nitrification. Only clean as often as neces-
sary.) The textile media hangs in individual sheets, and these sheets can be pulled out for cleaning
(if necessary). Use a hose or pressure washer, connected to the nearest spigot. Wash the biomat
into the underdrain and it will flow back to the tank
Miscellaneous
1. Exercise all iron, metal, and mechanical valves. Iron and metal valves must be exercised annually.
2. Before leaving the site ...
a) Review Maintenance Checklist to ensure all activities have been performed.

Testing Procedures
Orenco Systems® recommends regular testing of effluent from the AdvanTeim Treatment System and
requires it as a condition of purchase for its RX Series. Copies of test results and additional com-
ments/documentation must be forwarded to and retained by the Authorized AdvanTexTM Treatment
System Dealer who sold the system. If no Dealer was involved in the sale, then documentation must
be forwarded to Orenco Systems, Inc., 814 Airway Avenue, Sutherlin, OR 97479, ATTN: Applications
Engineering.
Protocol for Sampling, Testing, and Analysis
Sampling Locations — For residential systems, sample the discharge filtrate at the filtrate splitter
valve. This location is illustrated on your system drawings.
Sampling Schedule — Schedule annual sampling events for May or June.
Sam ling and Storage Methods — Sampling equipment, minimum sample size, and storage procedures
should conform to those recommended in the most current edition of Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Wastewater, American Public Health Association (APHA).
Analytical Measures — Analytical measures should conform to Standard Methods, cited above.
Routine Tests, Frequencies, and Norms
While regional requirements vary, Orenco recommends that the following effluent tests be performed
routinely and annually (at a minimum):
Parameter Methodology Norm
Clarity Visuall Clear (<15 JTUs or NTUs)
Odor Sniff 2 Non -offensive (musty is OK; rotten egg or
cabbage is not OK)
Eff, Filter Visual No L.L. Diff. Inside/outside vault;
Norm: —5-yr. Cleaning interval
Oil film Visual; inside tank None
Foam Visual; inside tank None
pH Field 6-8

AdvanTexTM O&M Manual
Page 15
These tests can be performed in the field; they cost very little and do not require lab work. However,
they are very useful in assessing system performance and maintenance.
'To check for clarity, service providers can carry a sample bottle of typical effluent, to compare against,
or can use a portable turbidity meter. Always put effluent sample in a clear glass container or beaker
to evaluate clarity. Using a small, removable sticker, write the date and place it low on the beaker.
2To check for odor, service providers can simply sniff the effluent sample or can use an olfactory
snifter device and/or sulfide odor measuring packet.
Additional Tests and Norms
If effluent is cloudy or smells pungent or if the biomat on the textile filter appears greasy, waxy, or oily,
further tests and troubleshooting should be performed. The following tests provide invaluable informa-
tion for troubleshooting and diagnosing problems and causes:

SECTION I - GENERAL
A. Lee Spencer is proposing to construct a 3-bedroom house on Parcel number 2 on Winding
Trail Road in Concord, North Carolina. Due to limited available space, soil conditions and limiting
topography, a pre-treatment system and, surface drip effluent disposal system is proposed. The
design flow has been set at 360 GPD.
Directions to the property: From Highway 29 South in Concord, head south on Highway 601
towards Monroe. Turn right on Flowes Store Road. The road is to your right once you pass Jim
Black Road on the let hand side of the road. The lot is just past the stables on the right hand site
of the road. The residence is to be served by an on site well located more than 250 feet from the
disposal area. There is an existing barn but no septic systems or wells on the property.
Steve Price, LSS with S&EC, has flagged the area for the proposed disposal area.
An application rate of 0.2 in/hr has been recommended for this system. The effluent will be
pretreated using a septic tank, recirculation tank with an Orenco Advantex AX20 and UV
disinfection.
These specifications and design plans have been prepared for an on -site surface effluent drip
disposal system using a septic tank, textile biofilter, dosing tank, uv disinfection and a four zone
drip system.
The system is designed to accept and treat domestic waste only. No other discharge is allowed,
including condensate water from hvac systems, etc.
The Engineer has designed a textile filter and drip irrigation system that dispenses treated
effluent through drip irrigation using design criteria intended to comply with NC . DEM
Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H.0200 and 15A NCAC 18A .1969, and NC DEH Onsite
Section Innovative Waste Water System IWWS—2000-2 (Geoflow Sub -Surface Drip System)
and CDWS — 2002-2R1 (Orenco Advantex Textile Filter).
Until plan acceptance and construction, the drip field site shall be maintained undisturbed. This
shall include placement of signs, ribbons and barricades to avoid traffic, storage, or parking in the
area. Encroachment by any utility or others is not permitted.
The Contractor shall be prohibited from working while the site is wet. The Contractor shall
contact the Engineer prior to commencement of work after rainfall.
The Engineer or the Soil Scientist has the right to suspend work until soil moisture conditions
are favorable to optimal installation.
The installer shall be knowledgeable of the type of system to be installed, and shall have prior
instruction on the installation of the various components of the system, and shall have the prior
approval of the component manufacturers, (Orenco) and (Geoflow), and the approval of the
design engineer.
Geoflow's Field Representative and designer shall provide written acceptance of the system
installation prior to issuance of operation permit.
Scope of the Project: The scope of this project is to construct a system to collect the domestic
waste from the proposed facility through a gravity collection system. The waste will flow to a
properly sized two -compartment septic tank. The outlet at the second compartment of the tank
will have a slotted wastewater effluent filter. From the septic tank the effluent flows to a textile
pretreatment bio-filter, which treats and recirculates the effluent. Effluent then. flows from the bio-
filter to a dosing tank and UV disinfection for dosing of the drip, feld: A timer.c6htrolled pump will
pump treated effluent to the drip field. ( J "�' '
fvrnl,l (� 5 2004
Parcel #2 Winding Trail Road Page 1 May 21, 2004
Concord, Cabarrus County, NC

The drip dosing system will have solenoid valves, spin clean filter, flow meter, air release valves
and other apparatus and controls to allow the automatic dosing and maintenance of the system.
The pump controls will have a 24-hour clock, programmable as determined by the operator.
Controls shall also have elapsed run time clock and cycle counter for each pump. The controls
shall also have manual operating capabilities and alarms. The controls are to be located at a
readily accessible location at the residence. The system shall have a soil moisture sensor that
will override the controller.to prevent dosing when soil moisture is above an operator controlled
set level.

Parcel #2 Winding Trail Road Page 7 May 21, 2004
Concord, Cabarrus County, NC

activated alarm is placed in the reset / off position.
Panel Operation:
❖ High Level Alarm Float: When lifted this float will activate the audible alarm and the
illuminated pushbutton. Note: This function can be combined with the Override Timer On &
Off Function.
❖ Override Timer & Off Float: When lifted this float will activate the normal timer function.
This timer is capable of cycling at a faster rate to accommodate high flow conditions.
❖ Timer On & Off Float: When lifted this float will activate the normal timer function. This
timer will begin with its `off cycle.
❖ Redundant Off & Low Level Alarm Float: When lowered this float will activate the audible
alarm and illuminated pushbutton. This float will also deactivate the pump in both auto and
manual.
❖ Pump & Valve Operation: The pump dosing cycles will be controlled by the timer. During
high flow conditions, the pump dosing cycles will be controlled by the override timer. Zone
valves will open as programmed and the pump comes on. The spin filter valve will open for
1 minute (field adjustable) to allow for drainage of the return line. After an operator defined
number of cycles (field adjustable prime numbers), the field flush valve and the zone valve
will open for one cycle. At the end of the dose, the field flush valve closes and normal
operation resumes. Since the flush cycle is to be set at an odd interval (prime number), the
-next flush cycle will fall on the opposite zone.
❖ Rain Sensor: If the rain sensor detects that the soil moisture is too high to dose, the sensor
shall not allow any dosing activity until the moisture levels reach normal levels again. If the
sensor does not allow dosing and the effluent level reaches the alarm float, the alarm float

SECTION V - SYSTEM INSTALLATION
The fields will be flagged by the Soil Scientist on contour along the centerline. The areas shall be
barricaded to be protected from unauthorized vehicular traffic.
Site shall be cleared of dead trees and underbrush, which could be detrimental to the system during
and after installation. All debris by removed by system installer only. Drip irrigation lines shall be
installed on contour. Drip irrigation lines shall be installed on the ground surface after the ground
surface has been cleared and smoothed to allow for surface water to shed properly off of the disposal
area. The tubing shall be installed on the surface with care to be certain that tubing is not kinked or
deformed. Prior to installation, the area shall be hand raked smooth to drain and to prepare for
installation.
No work shall be preformed on the drip field under wet conditions. "If it is too wet to plow," it is too wet
to work on drip field. The Contractor shall avoid the smearing of the wetted surface and should this
occur, work shall be suspended. After installation of the lines, the ground surface shall be shaped to
allow good surface drainage to prevent ponding of surface water. All disturbed areas shall be raked
smooth and covered according to specifications.
Drip Irrigation Tubing Storage and Handling
The drip irrigation tubing should be kept in the shade due to temperature sensitivity of the tubing and
away from exposure to direct sunlight except during the actual installation process.
Construction Sequence
Rule of Thumb: "If soil is too wet to plow," it is too wet to install the system.
1. Lay out drip irrigation field network area with stakes and flagging to ten feet (minimum) beyond
the limits of the line. As soon as the absorption area is designated, it should be flagged, roped
off and isolated from construction traffic. This barrier should be maintained until the Owner
accepts the system. Refer to site plan for the size of absorption area and field locations.
Observe all side yard, building, and other setback restrictions.
2. Clear site of any and all man-made debris, construction materials, etc. Dispose of legally. Cut
all dead trees and underbrush in the area of disposal field flush with the ground. Do not
remove any stumps with any earth moving equipment.
3. Prior to actually beginning construction of the system, verify invert elevations of all tanks,
carefully locate, lay out and identify disposal site, manifolds and the drip piping networks, using
a tripod mounted engineer's leveling instrument to accurately establish each lateral along a
level contour. (A 2' minimum drip line separation must be maintained centerline to centerline.)
4. Install drip lines, piping, valves, and headworks. Ensure good bedding and cover and uniform
slope as specified. All valve boxes shall be flush with the ground and clear of debris.
5. Install septic tank, textile filter module, drip dosing tank and UV disinfection at elevation to
allow proper operation. The dosing tanks will contain a pump and a pump enabling float
switch, a pump disabling float switch and a high water alarm float switch. The drip -dosing
tank will be set at elevation to receive gravity from the filter. All components shall be
checked and proper flow verified.
6. Perform leak test on tanks as called for herein. Provide riser access as called for
7. Carefully backfill tanks and trenches to finish grade with clean debris free earth (no stone).
8. Install pumps, filters, fittings and floats.
9. Install control system and wire per NC Building Code and NEC. Contractor shall verify
Parcel #2 Winding Trail Road Page 9 May 21, 2004
Concord, Cabarrus County, NC

available electrical power before ordering components. Provide and connect to properly
sized and number of breakers in the main panel board.
Final Landscaping: After the system is installed, the following should be checked to ensure that the
system will not be overloaded with excess rainwater and run-off.
(a) The drip field is prepared to shed rainwater and is free of low area.
(b) Curtain drains, grassy swales or ditches for diverting ground and. surface water are properly
installed.
(c) Cover the drip disposal area with a natural mulch cover.
(d) Gutter and downspout drains are directed away from the system.
Any problems should be corrected before approving the system.
Finally, all disturbed area should be planted with grass according to specifications.
SECTION VI - OPERATING CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS (START-UP)
A. The system shall consist of one 1,000-gallon septic tank with slotted filter, Advantex textile
containing module with cover, UV disinfection and vault, 2,000 gallon drip field dosing chamber
and drip field with pump, headworks, controls and other apparatus.
All components of the system shall be checked and taken through a complete test cycle in the
presence of the Owner's Engineer and to his satisfaction. If the test fails, adjustments shall be
made and the test repeated until the system is determined to operate properly.
Septic Tank: Check water level, inlet pipe, outlet pipe and slotted filter. Verify that the filter can
be removed for service.
Textile Filter: Using manufacturer's instruction, become familiar with filter components and
operation.
UV Disinfection: Using manufacturer's instruction, become familiar with filter components and
operation.
Drip System Dosing Tank Pump control - Sequence of Operation: Effluent fills tank to level that
will activate the "Pump Enabling" float. Pump can now operate. The control panel will be set to
allow the prescribed pump cycles per day based on customer setting of the programmable timer.
When a pump is called for service, and the level in the dosing tank permits, the zone valve and
filter flush valve will open. After an adjustable time, the filter flush valve will close, and the
system will continue to dose the active drip zone for the operator selectable time.
Dosing Cycle: All zones are dosed individually on an alternating basis so that each field is dosed
once every other dosing cycle. The appropriate zone valve opens, the Pump doses that zone
for 3.08 minutes and then the zone valve closes and the pump stops.
After an operator defined number of cycles (field adjustable prime numbers), the field flush valve
and one zone valve will open for one cycle. At the end of the dose, the pump stops and the field
flush and zone valves close. Since the flush cycle is to be set at an odd interval (prime number),
the next flush cycle will fall on the opposite zone.
The pump shall operate delivering a timer controlled predetermined dose to the designated drip
field. The pump shall also shut off when the low water level "pump off' switch is activated.
If the "high water alarm" float switch is activated, the controller shall activate audible and flashing
alarm systems. Once energized, the flashing and audible alarm unit must be shut-off manually.
After installation, each field shall be independently pressurized and the function and operating
pressure checked to verify compliance with the specifications and required wetted area shown
on the Plans. System pressure is to be obtained at the Schrader Valves located at the ends of
the manifolds as shown on the plans. The pressure and flow reading shall be recorded for
comparison with future readings. The operator cannot tell if the system is operating
properly unless he has this info.

Subject: Non -Discharge Permit Inspection
Wastewater Surface Irrigation System
Permit #WQ0023999
Cabarrus County
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Spencer:
Staff of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) conducted a compliance inspection on Aril 5th, 2017. The
MRO would like to thank Mrs. Joanna Spencer and your AQWA technicians (Chad and Jeff) for their time
during the site visit. The treatment and irrigation systems appeared to be operating adequately at the
time of inspection. Please note the following comments to maintain overall program compliance:
• The current permit expires on September 30th, 20.18. Per permit requirements a renewal
application is due, March 30th, 2018, 6 months prior to expiration.
For future reference a renewal form may be located at the NCDEQ website below.
http://deg. nc.gov/about/d ivisions/water-resources/water-resources-permits/wastewater-
branch/non-discharge-permitting-unit/application. Scroll down. the page to the "Single -
Family Residence Wastewater Irrigation Systems" section.
The recirculation tank pump is not operating efficiently, which reduces distribution across the filter
media and may also be costing you extra electricity. The life expectancy and a replacement time
table should be discussed with your contractor.
The application field is in the woods, so requires routine maintenance for underbrush and repair
of the wire fence, which Mrs. Spencer mentioned and you already planned to repair.
Per conversation with Mrs. Spencer you are maintaining the required owner inspection
log. Please email a copy of your most recent page of entries to my address below.
The inspection report should be self-explanatory; however, I may be reached by phone [phone]) or
email (maria.schutteOncdenr.gov) with questions.
Sincerely,
P

RE: Inspection Report

Permit No. WQ0023999
Cabarrus County, N.C.
Enclosed you will find the report on the inspection conducted on June 17, 2010. 1 have included a copy of your
permit for reference. Your permit was set to expire on September 30, 2009, but as we discussed, recent
legislation has applied a three year extension, thus the expiration date for your permit is now September 30,
2012.
The report should be self-explanatory but should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at
[phone] ext. 2184 or by email at Maria. SchutteCa.ncdenr.gov.

Date of Inspection 6/17/10
Inspection Summary: (additional comments may be included on attached pages)
The disposal system was operational. The treatment system is serviced by AQWA. Effluent
samples have apparently not been collected at the frequency prescribed by the permit or
submitted to the Division on the proper form (NDMR). The Mooresville Regional Office (MRO)
has requested AQWA send a copy of recent sample results to this office. After one year of
satisfactory monitoring data, the homeowner can apply for a modification to delete the effluent
monitoring requirement.

Comments:
An AQWA representative was present for this inspection. The system operation, including
How rate, alarm system(s) and UV light, is monitored electronically. AQWA performs annual
inspections of septic tank and filter and maintains an annual facility log. AQWA is performing
some sample testing, but apparently not as specified (March, July and November) in the
permit. The MRO has requested a copy of the annual facility log and sample results be sent to
this office. The MRO recommends the homeowner document monthly field inspections as
stipulated in condition 11.12.d of the permit, as this part of the system cannot be monitored
electronically by AQWA.

Maria,
Here are the sampling results from Prism Labs that we spoke about during the inspection. We have samples scheduled
for Jul and Nov. We'll then assist the owners with the request for elimination of sampling as discussed in your recent
report of inspection.
As shown in the report, the effluent results show BOD and TSS each < 15 mg/I @ 6.0 and BRL respectively, fecal coliform
@ 5 CFU/100 ml, and Total Nitrogen is 17.4 mg/I.
Thanks,
Mike Barry
