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.

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 Table 1 Typical ranges of soil infiltration rates by soil texture and slope.

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).

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.

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. ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERA I ION ire 7 1/8 1/4 112 3/4 1 Vent Ring Vent l fie Mini-L;IIK Mini-ICan Keep Ine irrigation SS e 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.

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. Before Exposure to Ultraviolet - All Bonds Intact violet Household Wastewater' TYPICAL INSTALLATION Treatment Un.. it - These diagrams illustrate a typical IWG-1-LV WW-3 installation. The unit is installed underground in a waterproof housing, and is located downstream of an appropriate household sewage treatment system. Wastewater disinfection is ensured by proper installation. INSTALLATION DETAIL How Does Ultraviolet Light Disinfect Water? 71 h I.h �. i . i.At,.:.. ... . INNEil -- ae-- 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).

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. 0&M Manual Page 2 September 7, 2004 OPERATION & MA-.I.NTE.N;A:NC_E MANUAL AdvanTex® Treatment Systems For Service Providers of AdvanTex® Treatment Systems and for Homeowner Reference Mother Carefully Englneered Treatment System by: Orenco Systems' Incorporated Changing the Way the World Does Wartewater'H 1-800-348-9843 www.orenco.com ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL Your Expertise Matters As the operator and service provider of an onsite wastewater treatment system, you play a crucial role.

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL 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: Performance Expectations: Processing Tank BOD6 TSS G&O mg/L mg/L mg/L Raw Influent* 450 500 , 160 ---------------- ------------------------------------------------------ Septic Tank Screened Effluent* 130 30 15 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Processing Tank Recirc/Blend Eff_" 15-40 10.20 5t *Source.

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL 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: Performance Expectations: BODs; TSS mg/L mg/L AX filtrate' 15 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15 AXN filtrate2 5 ------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 RX filtrate' 10 10 Design expectations, based on typical average influent characteristics and hydraulic loading rates, • also based on Orenco and third party testing wring grab samples.

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 Biotube® — Pull RSV out of its Quick Disconnect hol- ster (see photo next page) and place it in a plastic trash can — Hose off the trash can into the tank after replacing the RSV NOTE: Refer to RSV installation instructions 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. ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL Miscellaneous 1 Exercise all mechanical valves. Fully open and close valves to ensure they have not failed or become stuck in one position. 2 Before leaving the site ... a) Review the Maintenance Checklist that follows to ensure all activities have been performed. b) Be particularly careful to ensure the following: — valves are back in their recommended positions — control panel has been set back to automatic and circuit breakers have all been switched back on — household water lines have been turned back on (if they were turned off earlier in the visit for I & I evaluation) — lids and lid bolts are properly in place and tightened Documentation 1 Complete all documentation and submit any required reports to the appropriate parties agencies. Be sure to send a copy to the AdvanTex® Dealer. CAUTION! While providing O&M services, be sure to use proper personal protection equip- ment, such as rubber gloves and eye protection, as well as clothing, to cover parts of the body that will be exposed to wastewater or effluent. When finished, use proper personal hygiene. ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL 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. Parameter Methodology Typical Values* Clarity Visual' Clear (15t JTUs or NTUs) Odor Sniff Non -offensive (musty is OK; rotten egg or cabbage is not OK) Biotube® Visual No liquid level differential inside/outside vault; Norm: 1-2 year cleaning interval for recirculating systems Oily film Visual; inside None; no red, blue, the pump vault green, or orange sheen Foam Usual; inside tank None pH Field" 6-9 *Source.- These typical values are recommended by various sources. Biotube® parameters are based on Orenco research and development. 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 snwg removable sticker, write the date and place it low on the beaker. NOY ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL 2 To check for odor, service providers can simply snip the effluent sample or can use a su46de measuring packet or an olfactory snifter device for detection of odors. 3 To check for pH, service providers can use litmus paper, a packet pH meter, or a benchtop pH meter. Supplemental Testing and Typical Values If effluent is cloudy or smells pungent or if the biomat on the textile filter appears greasy, waxy, or oily, further tests and troubleshooting of the filtrate should be performed. The following filtrate tests provide invaluable information for troubleshooting and diagnosing problems and causes: Parameter Methodology Typical Values (mg/L) AX' RX' BOD, Grab Mode 1 Mode 3 Mode 1 Mode 3 15 15 10 10 TSS Grab 15 15 10 10 TN Grab 25 10-15 10-30 10-15 G&O Grab <1 DO Field' 2.5-6t pH Field 6-8t 1 AX and RX values are bared on Orenco and third party testing. 2 To check for Dissolved Oxygen, use a DO meter, avail- able from VWR Scientific, Cole Farmer, or HACH. 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 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) ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL Tools, Equipment, and Spare Parts List Many of the recommended maintenance and watch or stopwatch troubleshooting procedures require specialized wire strippers tools, equipment, and spare parts.

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. Abbreviations & Definitions 3D Three dimensional (typically refers to a drawing) amps Amperage alkalinity 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.

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. U910010 Ufltr avio I:et' H o us e h o Id TYPICAL INSTALLATION These diagrams illustrate a typical IWG-1-LV WW-3 installation. The unit is installed underground in a waterproof housing, and is located downstream of an appropriate household sewage treatment system. Wastewater disinfection is ensured by proper installation. WAFER-ARD jKlovilrells INC. --- till WATER INOWUM (It MPARY INSTALLATION DETAIL How Does Ultraviolet Light Disinfect Water? iffG'�,hCt%P t � x4., : .R5' 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.

For septic tank effluent disposal please phone Geoflow Head- quarters at 800-828-3388. Each State and County has regulations concerning wastewater disposal, which must be followed. This manual is intended to be a guide to users of Geoflow subsurface wastewater disposal equipment and should be used only as a supplement and secondary to your State regulations. Geoflow Design and Installation Manual - 2000 1 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.

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.

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 Geoflow Design and Installation Manual - 2000 5 9 OOOZ - Isnupw uopsIlmsul pus u&saQ uopoa.O 'salmnp gurzaa33 in xoq atp air[ns[n oI ams ag 'plarj atp pur dumd aip LiDwAiaq palpsui si :I 'xoq oqumf r ui @2m2 ainsswd pue saAlrA `jDlp3 atp 2uipnpui ;iun palqurasse aid r si s}I.rolepraH A%O'IARISVNL (suopmUpads impoid ioi £� Q&d uo L X?PuaddV aaS) sxxoA&avaH ,AO7J9 SVA& *11 'sapo ;DmS anoA o:.rapi asrajd 2urtlsnU Druoilcop polmo:ne annbaj op sa:r:s u=--o ',S.rrss u 3i dtund .ro/pur jaipj aqI jo airs ,Aop IuaID83a atp unpLAA aq of wi )Isfis atp g Snonp tAoU atp asTaDui oI pasn aq oslu um DATA Irnuuw r uado gurpr D 'suoi:ipuco Surzaai3 ui Dull gs-np atp jo @&mrjp jo3 W!Aoid pue AlsnonupuoD tisnp of kptl ils undo pp3pr1D 13a1 pur stpuotu xis ALrana Isual Ir iuNmU IIn3 ioj pauodo aq pinous :i `Irnuucu jI 'DiuoslDala io Iunurui aq um DAIrA gsnp ppU DrI,I. •InTalrl tpra 3o pua aT jr- agnl Dip jo wolloq atp uo algnumDDr pue .ia:Itd atp gl2nonp passrod QAFq tpRVA sapliTed ouTj Ino T jsng o: pasty (suopmTjoods impoid ioi 6Z agsd uo � xipuaddd wS) •saA-rvA xsn-t3 UTSUa 'Of 'sapoD aIlaS JnOA oI JaPr aseDld '2uigsnU DruotaDala palrcuo:nr annbar �irru salrls uir� '�rssaDau �i `dttmd .ro/pur .ra1113 ayI 3o air, leop :ua►Drd3a atp unpins aq of wD:sfig atp tl2nonp mojl asm Dul of pasn aq Auur aAIrA lunuuui u uodo .9tn}pmD -AlsnonunuoD gsnp o: ApgSgs undo pa}prrD :pI pur sgiuotu xis fuZ)Ao Isral Ir guigsnl� n r jo3 pauado oq pinotls :i `Irnuuu 31 •DAIrA pq Iururmu r .io DAIrA pioualos palrAIIDr AIlrDiuo it -Data ur aq um sap 131url Iuounrariaad atp of 3puq:sod Inourap iallt3 alp tuor3 sugap gsnp o: pasty (suopmUpods impoid io3 6Z aRsd uo � xrpuaddV aaS) saAzvA HsnY ullm3 '6 'uopgnsui tpyA palcolo rd oq .rm�Iuarq umnDrA jT atp anrrbar suoi:ipuoD Buizaar3 'tudg os si ralealq umnDrA lad mol3 umuzixuW -PIOJPELU WM -ar atp 3o iuiod iftq atp uo Duo pur plojnzutu AIddns atll 3o pua t fgnl alp uo Duo asn 'suoi:ipuoD ,3uizaarj ui splojpr_w turi:ai pup- AIddns atp jo Otriuiuzp jadold zo3 pasn osir, am ADq L 'sura:sAs dup punorgrapun tpLaAiissaaau a:nlosgr uo si siLLL 'a)rnssaid}prq zo 2uiuotldis }prq o: anp sral -Itura atp o:ui p 3pns.9tuaq tuoi3 pos dooN oI s:tnod tlgnl atp Ir palirism are sra3learq urnnDrA ziv (uoprDgpods impoid so3 1� adsd uo s xipuaddv aaS) xaxvaxg Wi navA IHV '8 it . 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.

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 Geoflow Design and Installation Manual - 2000 6 OOOZ - junuuw uopu[ImsvI pLm to?soQ A&oUooD anlun gsnll u pya auTl uiruai uou woD u o1 pua aip iu paiDauuoa aq pinogs sauq du(I (p auTl Bur au -uoa age uo .I33i3a.Iq ummen r 1psm puu iagpa2ol simod iTq Dip llu jaauuoa `-)Sm age sT s p 3I •auq auras agp Buolu sluTod Wool pur q-gTq QAuq noA a.Ia VA sn- q SuTlloi 2uolu sauq Bugpsm pionV (a •auoz gara uT iuTod isaO q aip iv panm&w aq pinogs iajIq uznnaun auo isml iv (q • noiuoa u 2uolu augdup unH •adols JuMsuoa AIJMJ r anug pinogs sautl duCl (r :uosuat SRP io3 To Pagalrnas sT dumd agP uagnn SJ;Dllnua Dip OILH 11Tp guruogdls sT sauq dup paunq ip Aa uialgoid Imuajod V IV sddo'IS c1mv 9AIINIOHMS `smod H91H '9 auTldup AO I33 LSD/ 0uiUrasuT aio3aq sAup uai of uanas iseal iu ias of Ip13 aq; ,,&ollr olgissod 3j •uoTsoia juana.Id of ianoa DAII QSbA u anug pinogs raJU Ipj aMIua QU •SupugijLu utoij jow& aarj ms ivana.Id of saaTnap is po autos to sagaITp uoisJanip PWT Auut puu aaujins pags of paumo.D dal oq pinogs 7mir IItj aq L •pairsochom! uaaq S9I IIt3 iIu lRun ssaaoid Sap anupuoD aau31aiuT lrinlxai idruqu up- wax -aid ol Fos lrlmru age olul pairtodioa n sagaui 9 of -� is.n3 agp i-pyA slain rnollugs uT p llddu aq pings Irualum II13 aq.L •juauianouz .iagYna PJMWJAaop .SuTJaMsai put; .gUFUUOJ uto•13 .Twirl aT MMO uu Iuanaid of pos Irtruuu ago oiut p imodioauT aq isnw 1T .Io panto -at IuuaIutu Z)MWS O Ilr anrg pings Ip13 atp anTa--ai of uaaE age `pasn aq 01 s[ IuuaIuW l[g auyu riuV •puol.Iano aijnrtpAq Juanazd of ITos Irtnluu otp 3o Alipc rdm allnrlp -Ag age uo pasuq aq isnuz azTs plat3 age puu iTos Irzrauu aip uT strtaao Ti?IS J3Vl- aog IrsodgC[ •Juatzt -1ra.11Io3 auoz palrrar tIu sapTnoid pos irlrquu age anoqu luualrcu IIg paalas uT sauTl dup Sulauld •uzOAxo 3o 3pul r of anp pazTlumTw st it.I aquae saigm iajrw'a gglq i-pTAa silos uI •.tuai aip 3o wd Suunp imao Auw Sinaepns llnsa.I u su `jUauIanoTu sajr,A prnALu op 3o ajri age --onpal Apuaj2 to doffs siaArr[ anpaujsaH •.IDAg anTaaMsai age WOJJ SWUUIS7p uoprl -udas asraolm 01.10 suosuai aTLUOUO & .toj m ig2nolq aq pos Iruoprppu annbai sajTs IusodsTp atuoS aTma wsodsla MU Ol Tea %Uclav •S •2unisTp pur -guTddu Aq panojduzT Apvwi? aq um s p-TD -dotd Fos `palauduioa si pos agI Allulnaivuci inq `sasm ITu uI praids za�una uuo�Ttm urm oI lim -IjTp Milan sT iT `slTos uzlotm-uou puu s}poI `sugap uoantisuoa jo sa�id aIr aiaqp pup,patudaid Apadotd iou suns pos agp 31 •tualgoid u Iuasajd Auai Fos agP jo �ijTaua0ouioq pur,14Yrmib agL airl uoTidiosqu .alum isagSTq aip urmumLu Ulna puu Juana iiJUWJ u .Iagr IsaIsu3 alp scup oqu posdol aq,L •ianrnn SuTidaaau .to3 pos algmxw--)d puu anpr AffmT2ololq lsow aip AlirtauM s< F. aau ins .Io posdoi oql awls plagdup aaujinsgns age 3o a2uMuunpu uu sT uopulpsm 3o gpdap moUugs aq,L S-W&L CNV SHaXVI'HOS ':j 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 WaPorq trlrta on = (231 *1.3Y(24x24) = 0.52 #ubff ofunwper&w.

A Headwork box can be selected in place of filter, field and flush valves. See page 33. Geoflow Design and Installation Manual - 2000 14 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- UP- Geoflow Design and Installation Manual - 2000 16 Table 4.

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 19 APPENDIXIES C Geoflow Design and Installation Manual - 2000 20 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. -PIN - CF BASIN g � 80 psi 6.0" 12.0" 3/4" MPT 23.4 inchesz ANE-75 3/4" 04 -11 ANE-100 1.0" 07 - 28 80 psi 6.5" 13.0" 3/4" MPT 28.4 inch& ANE-150-3 1.5" 34 - 42 100 psi 12.0" 15.5" 3/4" MPT 60.8 inchesz ANE-150-4 1.5" 45 - 55' 100 psi 12.0" 15.5" 3/4" MPT 60.8 inchesz ANE-200-3 2.0" 68 - 84 80 psi 12.0" 16.0" 3/4" MPT 60.8 inchesz ANE-200-4 2.0" 90 -110 80 psi 12.0" 16.0" 3/4" MPT 60.8 inchesz 24 AME-75 3/4" Filter Specification The Y filter body shall be molded from glass reinforced engineering grade black plastic with a 3/4 inch male pipe thread MIPT) inlet and outlet.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

Site disturbance could create unsuitable conditions for a drip ,system. A perrna�nent vegetative cover should be imuntediately established and maintained over the entire application field after installation_ 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.

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.

Or Order Online: www.zabel.com 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. Ce orencasystarne 1-800-348-9843 TP-AX-1 Rev. 5 ©12J00 Page 1 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.

System Operation: Description of Treatment Process 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 Rev.12 ©11/00 Page 1 Design Criteria, cons 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.

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. Rev.12 ©11/W Page 2 Design Criteria, cont 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.

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. Rev.12 ©11/00 Page 3 M Design Criteria, cont Typical Design Parameters for Residential, Community, and Commercial Systems Mode 1 AX and PX Systems 1) When wastewater characteristics average BOD 150 mg/L, TSS 40 mg/L, TKN 60 mg/L, and G&O 25 mg/L: Design Hydraulic Load: Qp = 50 gpd/ft2 Qa = 25 gpd/ft2 Qa based on 50 gpcd (typical flow range 40-60 gpcd) 2) When wastewater characteristics reach BOD 300 mg/L, TSS 150 mg/L, TKN 150 mg/L, and G&O 30 mg/L: Design Hydraulic Load: Qp = 25 gpd/ft2 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.

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. Rev.12 ©111W Page 5 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.

AdvanTekFm O&M Manual Page 5 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- ing tank: Tank Performance BODs TSS TN mg/L mg/L mg/L Raw Influent* 450 500 70 Septic Tank Screened Effluent* 130 30 68 Processing Tank RecircBlend Eff.-Mode 1 20 20 30 Processing Tank RecircBlend Eff.-Mode 3 30 20 15 Processing Tank RecircBlend Eff.-Mode 1 NA NA NA Processing Tank RecircBlend Eff.-Mode 3 NA NA NA Source: Crites & Tchobanoglous, w/assistance from Bounds.

AdvanTexTM O&M Manual _ Page 6 - 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): AdvantexTM Textile Filter Performance BODs TSS TN mg/L mg/lL mg/L Septic Tank Screened Tank Effluent 130 30 68 AX Filtrate (Mode 1) 15 15 25 AX Filtrate (Mode 3) 15 15 10 RX Filtrate (Mode 1) 10 10 10 - 30 RX Filtrate (Mode 3) 10 10 10 AdvanTexTM O&M Manual Page 7 Typical Materials List AX Series Orenco's AdvanTexTM-AX Treatment Systems come in a variety of models and configurations.

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. AdvanTexTm O&M Manual Page 12 b) Be particularly careful to ensure the following: — valves are back in their recommended positions — control panel has been set back to automatic — household water lines have been turned back on — lids and lid bolts are properly in .place and tightened Documentation 1. Complete all documentation and submit any required reports to the appropriate parties/agencies. CAUTION! While providing O&M services, be sure to use proper personal protection equipment, such as rubber gloves and clothing, to cover parts of the body that will be exposed to sewage or effluent. ca Maintenance Checklist V-rporWed AdvanTee Treatment Systems While regional regulations may vary, Orenco Systems requires that the following inspection and maintenance activities be performed, by a qualified provider, on all AdvanTex-RX Treatment Systems sold. Orenco recommends these activities for its AdvanTex-AX Treatment Systems, as well. Inspect initially three months following start-up and then at twelve-month intervals, or as necessary.

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.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT SECTION II REGULATIONS SECTION III BASIS OF DESIGN SECTION IV COMPONENTS OF SYSTEM SECTION V SYSTEM INSTALLATION SECTION VI OPERATING CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS (Start Up) SECTION VII OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SECTION VIII OWNERSHIP RESPONSIBILITY APPENDIX CUT SHEETS AND SUPPORTING MATERIALS 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. SECTION II - REGULATIONS A.

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 shall disengage the moisture sensor and dose a normal cycle. The audiovisual alarm shall continue to sound until the operator is notified or switch is deactivated. If this continues to be a problem, check the moisture sensor settings and reset to dose. Rain sensor shall be mounted on the side of the control panel or in an area where rainfall can clearly be received by the unit. Rain Sensor shall be Glen Hilton "Mini-Clik" or engineer approved equal.

Installed in plastic meter box or included in headworks box. The flow meter is manufactured by Blue White Industries or engineer approved equal. 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.

REGAN Secretary S. JAY ZIMMERMAN Director 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 (704-235-2184) or email (maria.schutteOncdenr.gov) with questions.

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.
