Below, please find a response to each of the questions/comments listed in your e-mail dated February 15, 2023. To facilitate the review of this response, each point from the comment email is included in bold. We appreciate your time and attention in assisting us with the project. Comment: 1. The application material indicates that the current non -discharge spray system has a spray field on adjacent property and the spray field is not transferable. We assume that this means the permittee wishes to sell the property and the adjacent landowner does not want to transfer the easement for use of the spray field to a new property owner. The Division considers discharge permits as a last resort when no sewer or onsite non -discharge alternatives are available. Can you please provide documentation that verifies why the offsite spray field is not available for use with this system. 1 Response: The assumption stated above is correct. Due to the current family situation, the applicant desires to sell the property. The transferability of the off -site easement that covers the sprayfield is not transferable without the consent of the Grantor of the easement or its successor in interest. The following excerpt is from the NC General Warranty Deed detailing the transfer of the easement. The full document is included as Attachment B of the original application. Grantor acknowledges the existence upon its remaining property of a waste water effluent spray field Chat is connected to the Grantee's septic system. Grantor hereby grants to Grantees a limited easement for the continued use and operation of the spray field, Which easenenta shall run with the land and be binding upon Grantor and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that Grantor, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby reserves the unconditional right to terminate this limited easement absolutely and completely by giving a minimum of six months' written notice to Grantees by certified mail, return receipt requested. Grantees' refusal to accept the certified mail shall not limit the effectiveness of the notice. The easement herein granted is personal to Grantees and is not transferable without the consent of Grantor or its successor is interest. The applicant, Mr. Eskridge, has repeatedly attempted to contact the current landowner (Changhoon Shin) to no avail. It is our understanding that the landowner may live out of the country. The contact address listed on the Durham County GIS website also does not appear to be current. Multiple attempts have been made by mail and email. Attachment A includes two of the email attempts made by Mr. Eskridge. 2. The submitted application information is for a 3-bedroom home with flow of 450 gallons per day. For Single Family Discharge systems under the discharge program, we consider allowable flow at 120 gallons per day per bedroom. The Division will therefore consider this application for a flow limit of 360 gallons per day. The application for the NCG550000 permit documents the 120 gallon per day limit per bedroom but the application submitted had been modified to change the language to 150. In the future, please leave the application information unchanged and note any requested differences and include discussion information in an attached letter. Response: We acknowledge that the allowable flow is 120 gallons per day per bedroom equating to a flow limit for this application of 360 gallons per day. This was adjusted as the original non -discharge surface spray was permitted for 450 gallons per day. We apologize for the inconvenience. In future requests, we will ensure to leave application information unchanged. 3. The application material notes a current non -discharge permit from September 2013. Permit WQ0002908 was reissued September 10, 2018. Since the permittee is still operating under this permit at this time, please assure that they have access to the most current permit. You can access the permit at our Laserfiche site at: https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/WaterResources/DocView.aspx?dbid=0&id=726460 ii Response: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have ensured that Mr. Eskridge has access to the most recent version of the permit. 4. There is no discussion about any setback issues for the site so we are assuming that there is no need for any setback waivers for the site. Is this correct? Response: The existing treatment system was permitted under the NCDEQ SFR Wastewater Irrigation System Permit WQ0002908. It was the assumption that the location was previously approved for the existing permit and subsequential permit renewals. The system is within 10' of the property (substantially less than the required 50' setback). However, we are not aware of any setback waivers completed at the time of permitting and reissuance of the permit. If this would pose an issue for issuance of the Certification or Coverage/Authorization to Construct under the General Permit, it is possible to install a new system that would maintain the required setbacks for the discharge permit. We have included updated plans and specifications for the Discharge System in Attachment B if it is deemed that a new system would be required. We respectfully ask that the updated plans be included with the current application for coverage. 5. Is there any documentation available to show recent cleaning of the septic tank and pump tank? If so, could you provide these for our records as well. Response: We have spoken with Richard Broadwell of The Water Specialist. He has provided maintenance to the existing wastewater system over the years at the property. The most recent pumping of the septic tank was in 2021. However, he was not able to provide any records for the pumping service. 6. The NCG550000 application indicates (#7) that the system has a dosing tank and recirculating sand filter. In other narrative descriptions in the material provided the system is described as a sand filter system but it isn't clear that it is a recirculating system with a dosing tank. Could you please clarify this also. Response: Based on the size of the existing sand filter system and current guidelines, the assumption was that this was a recirculating sand filter. However, upon inspecting the dosing chamber, it was found to be a gravity single pass sand filter. Effluent from the system was sampled and found to meet the discharge requirements. As mentioned in the previous response, if this would pose an issue for issuance of the Certification or Coverage/Authorization to Construct under the General Permit, it is possible to install a new system if that is deemed necessary. We have included updated plans and specifications for the Discharge System in Attachment B. We respectfully ask that the updated plans be included with the current application for coverage. iii Thank you for your assistance with this review.

Please let me know if this gets through to you this time. Sta n Begin forwarded message: From: Stan Eskridge <stan(a)-4unc.com> Subject: 5312 Farrington Road Date: September 11, 2022 at 12:47:31 PM EDT To: John Shin <john.shine(a)yahoo.com> Dear John, I hope this finds you well. I understand from Valerie Olszyk that you are out of the country but available by email so am reaching out regarding a situation that impacts us both. In the process of marketing my property at 5312 Farrington Road, it has been noted by several individuals that the current language in the easement agreement between us was not well constructed by Jesup & Lamont's attorney and could be problematic in finalizing a future sale of either of our properties. I am advised that the simple way to resolve this issue is to make both the right for operation of my spray field on your property and for the right for your access to the well on my property be transferable to the new owner in the event of a sale of either property. If you agree, I can have a new easement agreement drafted for our mutual review and acceptance. Or, if you would prefer to chat about this first then, of course, I would be happy to do so. You can reach me by either email or at my mobile number listed below. I look forward to hearing from you soon. All the best. Sta n E. S.

Septic Tank A new 1,250-gallon septic tank will be installed for this system. The existing 1,000-gallon tank will be abandoned in place. An Orenco 8" Biotube effluent filter will be installed in the outlet end of the septic tank. 24" access risers will be installed on both the inlet and outlet ends of the septic tank. All wastewater from the single-family residence, including greywater, will be routed into the septic tank. Waste that exits the septic tank will flow via gravity into the AdvanTex AX20-RT Treatment Pod. AdvanTex AX20-RT Treatment Pod The treatment component of the system is an AdvanTex AX20-RT treatment pod. The pod is an integrated unit that combines recirculation, treatment, and discharge modules into a single, sealed unit. Liquid from the septic tank will flow via gravity to the inlet of the treatment pod and into the recirculation tank portion of the AX-RT unit. Liquid from the recirculation tank will be periodically applied across the filter fabric. Wastewater will be sprayed over the textile sheets. The wastewater percolates down through the textile sheets and is distributed between the recirculation chamber and discharge chamber by means of the tank baffle. The treated wastewater then exits the AX-RT unit via gravity to the discharge outlet after passing through the UV disinfection system within the AX- RT unit. The recirculation pump is controlled by a system of 3 floats that operate the recirculation pump in a Timed Dose arrangement. Float I (lowest elevation) is a redundant off float. Float 2 is a Peak Enable Float and Float 3 acts as a High Water Alarm. Under normal operation, the redundant off float will be engaged thereby activating the timer in the control panel. At the pre-set interval, the pump will engage and distribute effluent over the textile fabric ("on" cycle). Following this period, the pump will turn off and rest for a designated time ("off' cycle)". During periods of high water in the recirculation portion of the tank, the Peak Enable float will engage and reduce the pre-set "off' time and thereby send increased flow across the fabric. If the water level in the recirculation tank continues to rise, the High Water Alarm will activate. 3of61 To prevent groundwater from affecting the pod, the pod will be installed on a bed of gravel. Anti - flotation measures or a concrete ring installed around the mid -flange will be installed to provide extra ballast to prevent the flotation of the pod during high water table conditions. UV Disinfection Disinfection for the system will be accomplished using a UV system. The UV light should operate for approximately one year prior to needing to be replaced. If the UV light burns out or loses sufficient intensity (below a set threshold) an alarm will activate and disable the system pump. An alarm light on the control panel will also illuminate. When the alarm is activated, the homeowner should reduce water use (laundry, dishes, washing) until the system is operating properly. Discharge Outlet The system discharges into a culvert located on the property. Riprap will be placed at the discharge location to provide aeration of the water as it is discharged and also as erosion protection. Vegetation and debris should be kept clear of the discharge location. A grate will be installed on the discharge pipe to prevent animals and rodents from entering the discharge pipe. Control Panel One control panel will be installed with this wastewater system. This panel will control operation of the pumps and UV system. If desired, this panel can be connected to a land -based phone line that will notify the operator of system operation. 4of61 Discharge Wastewater Treatment System Design Calculations PROJECT: Eskridge Residence Location: 5312 Farrington Road Chapel Hill, NC 27514 County: Durham County SEPTIC TANK SIZING Dailv Flow Estimate Flow/Unit # of Units Units (g I Flow/Day (gpd) 3 BR 120 360 TOTAL DAILY FLOW (Q) = 360 gpd septic ►anK volumeistze (oases on aenttnncation process) For Single Family Residences with 5 bedrooms or less, # Bedrooms I Min.

Access riser -to -tank connections must be watertight for the proper functioning of an onsite septic system or effluent sewer system. Orenco strongly recommends watertightness testing of all access riser -to -tank connections after installation. Following are instruction sets for prepping and installing access risers, installing grommets, and selecting adhesives for riser installations.

Riser Watertightness Testing.......................................................................... 6 7. Adhesive Selection and Quantities...................................................................... 7 Instruction Set 1: Riser Preparation Step 1: Determine Riser Height Determine how high the riser needs to be. The top of the riser should be about 3 inches (75 mm) above finished grade after installation and backfilling —This allows 2 inches (50 mm) for tank settling and 1 inch (25 mm) for ensuring drainage away from the riser. Step 2: Cut Riser to Size (if Necessary) If the riser needs to be cut to size, cut it with a circular saw or table saw • Always cut excess length from the bottom of the riser. • For square, even cuts, a good fit, and a watertight joint between the riser and the adapter, use an Orenco riser -cutting saw guide. • To install risers less than 30 inches (760 mm) wide onto 500-gallon (2000-L) Orenco FRP tanks, cut the riser so it fits into the tank and the lowest rib rests on the tank's top, as shown. Step 3: Dry Fit Riser to Adapter Step 3a: Dry fit the riser to the adapter. • Make sure riser penetrations are the right sizes and in the correct locations. Step 3b: If the riser is higher than 3 inches (75 mm) above the estimated final grade, cut it to size per the instructions in Step 2. Step 3c: If the riser is too short, use an Orenco grade ring to extend it. ODetermine riser height 3 inches (75 mm) E Riser prep for 500-gal.

Step 1 b: Use the plans or drawing to mark the locations of the penetrations. • If plans or drawings aren't available, use Drawing 1 b as a general guide for locating riser penetrations. Step 2: Drill Holes and Clean Access Riser Step 2a: Drill holes for riser penetrations. • If you have questions about where to locate various riser penetrations, contact your Distributor for more information. Using Orenco® RKHS Hole Saws ... Cut the hole and grind the ribs down to make a flat, smooth surface for installing the grommet. • Make sure your hole saw is the correct size and your drill is at least 18 volts. • Don't grind too deeply — about 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) is deep enough. Using Standard Hole Saws ... 1: Use the correctly sized hole saw to cut a hole, centered on the mark. 2: Trim the riser ribs back 1 inch (25 mm) from around the hole. • Use a grinder or cutting tool to notch the ribs through to the riser wall. • Use a hammer and chisel to break off the notched rib sections. • Use a grinder to make a flat, smooth surface around the hole. Step 2b: Clean and deburr the hole and flat surface with a wire brush and deburring knife or tool. • Be careful not to enlarge the penetration. Step 3: Install Grommet Step 3a: Apply a bead of adhesive to the groove in the grommet's outer diameter. • For adhesive recommendations, see Instruction Set 7. Step 3b: Firmly press the grommet into the penetration.

Step 1: Prep for Test Step 1 a: Make sure the adhesive seams have set and the tank has been backfilled according to the manufacturer's instructions — typically to the tank's midpoint. Step 1 b: Plug the inlet (and outlet, if present) of the tank with watertight plugs. Step 1c: Fill the tank with water to a level 2 inches (51 mm) into the riser. Step 2: Test Watertightness Step 2a: Wait for the required time before inspecting the riser -to -tank connections for leakage. • Follow the tank manufacturer's recommendations (or applicable local regula- tions) for wait times before inspecting the tank for leaks. • Orenco recommends at least 30 minutes for its fiberglass tanks. Step 2b: Check for any drop in the liquid level inside of the riser and any visible leakage from the riser -to -tank connections. • At the end of the test, there should be no drop in liquid level and no visible leakage from seams, pinholes, or other imperfections. • If leaks are found during the test, seal the leaks and repeat the test, Step 2c: Once the riser -to -tank connections are proven watertight, remove the plug(s) and drop the water level in the tank to just below the invert of the inlet or outlet, whichever is lower.

In existing tanks or in tanks with short outlet stubs, it may be necessary to extend the tank outlet stub by using a coupling and a pipe section. A coupling may also be needed to bush from 3034 PVC to the Schedule 40 outlet of the filter. IMPORTANT Take proper precautions and wear personal protection equipment (PPE) whenever working in an enclosed area, such as a septic tank. Step 1: Dry Fit Vault Step 1 a: Remove the Biotube° filter cartridge from the vault. Step 1 b: Dry fit the vault's outlet to the tank outlet stub. • Make sure there is enough clearance at the tank opening to remove the Biotube filter cartridge for cleaning and tank pumping. Step 1 c: Remove the vault from the tank outlet stub. Step 2: Install Vault And Filter Stainless steel self -drilling screws can be used in place of PVC cement in this step. Step 2a: Apply PVC cement to the outside of the tank outlet stub and the inside of the vault's outlet. • Don't use PVC cement if you are using stainless steel screws. Step 2b: Press the vault into position on the tank stub. • Make sure the vault is straight and vertical, adjust it if necessary, • Secure the vault with the stainless steel screws, if you are using this method. Step 2c: Install the Biotube filter cartridge into the vault. • Makes sure the handle tees snap into the vault body. Step 3: Adjust Handle Length, If Necessary If necessary, extend the filter cartridge's handle to make access easier from the top of the riser. • Use 1-in. (25-mm) Schedule 40 PVC for the handle extension. • If the handle extension is longer than 4 feet (1.2 m), make a stiffening "ladder" with tees and horizontal pipe sections. • Secure the extension on the handle with stainless steel self -drilling screws or PVC cement. 1b 2c 00 V 0 0 0 0 0 0 Orenco Systems°, Inc., 814 Airway Ave., Sutherlin, OR 97479 USA • 800-348-9843 • 541-459-4449 • www.orenco.com NIN-FT-FTM-1 Rev. 2.0 ° 08/17 Page 1 of 1 32 of 61 AdvanTexO AX-RT Treatment Systems Applications Orenco's AdvanTex AX-RT Treatment System is a single, complete, self-contained module that treats septic tank effluent to better than secondary standards with nitrogen reduction before discharging it by means of pump or gravity.

All pipe diameters provided are U.S. nominal PVC pipe sizes. If you are using metric pipe, you may need adapters to connect to the U.S, fittings supplied with AdvanTex Treatment Systems. Septic Tanks Used in AX-RT Treatment Systems Be sure that any septic tank used in an AX-RT Treatment System meets the following conditions: • The tank must conform to an approved and authorized tank design for AdvanTex Systems, and it must meet all applicable regula- tory requirements (no pour -in -place tanks, no homemade tanks, etc.). Call your local Dealer for specifics. • The tank must be structurally sound. • The tank must have at least 1000 gal. (3800 L) capacity for an AX20-RT, 1250 gal. (4730 L) for a 5-bedroom AX25-RT, and 1500 gal. (5680 L) for a 6-bedroom AX25-RT at the normal operating level (below the invert of the outlet). • The tank must have an at -grade access with a watertight, securable and removable lid. If it doesn't, an at -grade access must be installed onto the septic tank and be made watertight. • The tank must be watertight and free of leaks. • An Orenco effluent filter (model FTSO444-36V, FTW0444-36V, or FT0822-14B) must be installed in the septic tank. QKey Point. For existing septic tanks — the tank's depth of burial must allow for a minimum fall of 1/8 inch per foot (10 mm per meter or 1 %) from the septic tank's invert of outlet to the AX-RT unit's invert of the inlet. If sufficient fall cannot be met, a grade ring extension must be installed on the AX-RT or a pumping system will need to be installed in the septic tank to move the filtered effluent to the AX-RT unit.

In the septic tank, the raw sewage separates into a scum layer, a sludge layer, and a clear zone. Effluent from the clear zone passes through a Biotube® Effluent Filter and is discharged to the recirc/blend chamber of the AX-RT unit. The effluent flows through the recirc transfer line to the recirc pumping system, which pumps filtered effluent to the distribution manifold in the top of the unit. Effluent percolates down through the textile media and is divided — by means of a tank baffle — between the recirc/blend chamber and the recirc/filtrate chamber inside of the unit. The recirc pumping system's operation is controlled by a timer in the control panel. It allows the pump to dose the textile media for short periods (usually 40-60 seconds), typically 72 times a day. These frequent "micro -doses," which optimize the treatment process, occur throughout the day to maintain the proper biological environment.

If there is no site plan, draw up a plan including locations and distances. Step 2: Perform the excavations for the AX-RT unit and (if needed) the septic tank. Step 3: If the septic tank has not been set, set it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Step 4: Set the AX-RT unit. Step 5: Install antibuoyancy deadmen on the AX-RT unit (if needed). Step 6: Partially backfill the AX-RT unit and (if needed) the septic tank. Step 7: If the tank adapters and risers have not been installed on the septic tank, install them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Step 8: If no watertightness test has been performed on the tank and the tank -to -riser connections, perform a watertightness test. QKey Point: The tank and tank -to -riser connections must pass this test before the AX-RT is connected to the tank. Step 9: Perform a watertightness test of the AX-RT unit's midseam. Step 10: If the effluent filter has not been installed in the septic tank, install it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Step 11: Connect the transport line(s) from the septic tank outlet to the AX-RT unit. Step 12: Connect the passive air vent to the AX-RT unit. Step 13: Connect the discharge line to the AX-RT outlet.

Installation Steps Step 1: Review or Sketch Site Plans Check the site plan for the specifics of your installation. I Key Point. If you're installing the AX-RT unit more than 20 ft (6 m) • from the septic tank, contact your Dealer for assistance. Step 1 a: Detailed Site Plan Provided Make sure that the plan accurately reflects conditions at the site. If it doesn't, contact the Designer before scheduling the installation, Step 1 b: Plan Of Limited Detail Or No Site Plan Provided If you are installing the AX-RT unit with a plan of limited detail or with no plan, contact your local Dealer for assistance and then sketch a site plan that is consistent with the Designer's specifications: QKey Points: • Sketch the exact positions of the system components, pipes, electrical conduits, etc. Account for current and likely future landscape features in the sketch. (See Panel Installation, EIN-CP-GEN-1, for recommenda- tions for installing control panels.) • A minimum fall of 1/8 inch per foot (10 mm per meter or 1 %) is required from the septic tank's invert of outlet to the AX-RT unit's invert of the inlet. • The invert of the inlet on the AX-RT is 46 in. (1168 mm) up from the base of the unit. The outlet is 24 in. (610 mm) down from the top of the unit for pump dispersal or 41.5 in. (1054 mm) down for gravity dispersal, • The bottom of the AX-RT lid must sit 2 inches (50 mm) above finished grade when set and level. Standard unit height is 72 inches (1830 mm); grade rings increase height by 6 or 12 inches (152 or 305 mm). • If the AX-RT unit is installed in its own excavation, the unit requires 18-24 inches (457-610 mm) of space on all four sides. • If the AX-RT unit is installed in tandem with the septic tank, a minimum of 2 ft (610 mm) separation distance is required between the unit and tank. • If the AX-RT unit is being installed parallel to the septic tank, offset the unit from the tank by 6 ft (1.8 m) if antibuoyancy measures are neces- sary or 4 ft (1.2 m) if antibuoyancy measures are not necessary. Step 2: Perform Excavation(s) Step 2a: Before excavating, consider the necessary elevations, offsets, and grade requirements for the AX-RT unit and (if needed) the septic tank. Step 2b: Perform the excavation(s). nKey Points: • Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for excavating the tank area. • A minimum fall of 1B inch per foot (10 mm per meter or 1 %) is required from the septic tank's invert of outlet to the AX-RT unit's invert of the inlet.

Step 2c: Make sure the bottom of the excavation is suitable for setting the AX-RT unit and (if needed) the tank: stable, smooth, level, and free of debris, rocks, and other sharp objects. QKey Points: • Follow the manufacturer's instructions for bedding the tank. • If the bottom of the excavation is uneven or rocky, lay a 4-in. (100-mm) bed of sand or pea gravel and compact the material to create an even, smooth surface. Step 2d: If the bottom of the excavation is unstable, stabilize the bottom of the excavation before continuing. • For unstable base soil (peat, quicksand, muck, soft or highly expansive clay, etc.), you may need to over -excavate the site depth and set a firm, 6-in. (152-mm) compacted base of < %2- to 3/-in. (13- to 19-mm) aggregate or pea gravel, • For extremely unstable soil, you may need to pour a concrete layer to stabilize the bottom of the excavation. • If you have doubt about the soil's stability, consult a local civil or struc- tural engineer. Step 3: Set Septic Tank (if Needed) Set the septic tank according to the manufacturer's instructions. • Use Fiberglass Tank Burial instructions (NIN-TNK-1) to install Orenco's 500-gallon through 2000-gallon (2000-L through 7570-L) Fiberglass Tanks. OIMPORTANT Take care to keep everyone clear of the excavation when placing the tank. QKey Points: • The tank has to be set at the correct depth to connect to the sewage inlet. • A minimum fall of 1B inch per foot (10 mm per meter or 1 %) is required from the septic tank's invert of outlet to the AX-RT unit's invert of the inlet. Make sure the excavation is stable, smooth, level, and free from debris, rocks, and sharp objects.

(460-600 mm) 12 in. (300 mm) When using Orenco fiberglass deadmen, be sure to place them on a small lift of soil 12 inches (300 mm) from the bottom of the AX-RT. Installation Steps Step 4: Set AX-RT Unit Step 4a: Attach proper lifting equipment to the lifting points on the AX-RT unit. Step 4b: Carefully lift the unit and lower it into the correct position. Step 4c: Remove the equipment when the unit is set and level in position. OIMPORTANT Take care to keep everyone clear of the excavation when placing the unit. Use a lifting device that will not damage the unit or the unit's lid. nKey Points: • A minimum fall of 1/8 inch per foot (10 mm per meter or 1 %) is required from the septic tank's invert of outlet to the AX-RT unit's invert of the inlet. • The bottom of the AX-RT lid must sit 2 inches (50 mm) above finished grade when set and level. • If the AX-RT unit is installed in its own excavation, the unit requires 18-24 inches (457-610 mm) of space on all four sides. • If the AX-RT unit is installed in tandem with the septic tank, a minimum of 2 ft (610 mm) separation distance is required between the unit and tank. • If the AX-RT unit is being installed parallel to the septic tank, offset the unit from the tank by 6 ft (1.8 m) if antibuoyancy measures are neces- sary or 4 ft (1.2 m) if antibuoyancy measures are not necessary. Step 5: Install Antibuoyancy Deadmen (If Needed) Determine if antibuoyancy deadmen are necessary for the installation. Orenco offers antibuoyancy hardware kits that can be used with Orenco fiberglass deadmen or concrete deadmen. • Deadmen are recommended for all installations. • Deadmen are required if there is a potential for groundwater to be pres- ent in the excavation at any time, or if surface runoff can fill the excava- tion at any time, resulting in a "bathtub" effect. Note: This effect occurs in dense soils when water fills an excavation during surface water runoff —usually during a heavy rain event — before the disturbed soil in the excavation has had time to settle. • If you are unsure whether to install antibuoyancy deadmen or not, con- sult the system Designer or an engineer. Step 5a: Installing Orenco Fiberglass Deadmen Step 5a (i): Build up a 3- to 4-inch (75- to 100-mm) lift of soil on each side of the unit for the deadmen to rest upon. Step 5a (ii): Secure the deadmen along the length of the unit, on both sides, with the antibuoyancy kit hardware. Then lower the unit into the hole. Step 5a (iii): Place the deadmen at least 12 inches (300 mm) from the bottom of the unit, and make sure they are level.

Step 5b (i): Fill two forms halfway with concrete. Step 5b (ii): Place two #4 reinforcing bars in each of the forms. Step 5b (iii): Finish filling the forms. Step 5b (iv): Sink eyebolts from the antibuoyancy hardware kit into the concrete for attaching the deadmen later. Step 5b (v): Let the concrete set completely before moving the deadmen. Step 5b (vi): Use appropriate lifting gear to set the deadmen in place. Step 5b (vii): Secure the deadmen along the length of the unit, on both sides, with the antibuoyancy hardware kit and make sure they are level. Step 6: Partially Backfill Excavation(s) Partially backfill around the AX-RT unit and (if needed) the tank. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for backfilling around the tank. Follow the steps below to backfill around the AX-RT unit. OIMPORTANT Bolt down the AX-RT lid before backfilling! Bolting down the lid increases rigidity and helps prevent deformation. Step 6a: Fill the AX-RT with 16 in. (410 mm) of water on both sides of the baffle. Step 6b: Backfill around the unit with a 16-inch (410-mm) layer of material. QKey Points: • Do not use native material to backfill if it is primarily sand; very soft or highly expansive clay; or if it contains debris, large (> 3/-in. or 19-mm) rocks, sharp rocks, peat, or muck. In these cases, use <_ 3/ inch (< 19 mm) rounded gravel, crushed stone, or pea gravel as fill material. This material should be washed, free -flowing, and free of debris. • Do not backfill with sand. Step 6c: Compact the fill thoroughly with a mechanical compactor. Step 6d: Fill the AX-RT with water to just above the midseam flange on both sides of the baffle. Step 6e: Add another 16-inch (410-mm) layer of backfill. Step 6f: Compact the fill to 2-3 inches (50-75 mm) below the midseam flange.

Watertight seams are critical for proper performance. Installation Steps Step 7: Install Adapters and Risers (If Needed) Step 7a: Install tank adapters if needed. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. • Use PRTA24 and PRTA30 Tank Adapter Installation (NIN-TA-PRTA-2) instructions for installing Orenco PRTA24 or PRTA30 Tank Adapters. • Use RRFTA and RRFTA30 Tank Adapter Installation (NIN-TA-RRFTA-1) instructions for installing Orenco RRFTA or RRFTA30 Tank Adapters. • Use FRTA30-FRP Tank Adapter Installation (NIN-TA-FRTA-1) instructions for installing Orenco FRTA30-FRP Tank Adapters. • Use Tank Adapter Installation for Roth Tanks (NIN-TA-RR-2) instructions for installing Orenco FRTA24-R or PRTA30 Tank Adapters on Roth Fralo tanks. Step 7b: Install the access risers and any necessary grommets. • Use PVC Access Riser Installation (NIN-RLA-RR-1) instructions for installing access risers on Orenco Tank Adapters and grommets in access risers. nKey Points: • Mode 3 systems require a 1-in. (25-mm) grommet in the tank's inlet riser. The grommet must be on the same side of the riser as the AX-RT unit's return line. • The seam between the tank and the tank adapter has to be watertight. • Watertight seams and penetrations are critical for proper performance. • Before installing the riser, make sure the riser is the correct height — the recommended riser height is 2-3 inches (50-75 mm) above final grade. • Before installing the riser, make sure that the riser penetrations are made at the correct height to make connections. • Before installing the riser, make sure the penetrations are aligned correctly. • After installing the riser, make sure all adhesive seams are smooth, con- tinuous fillets, free of voids. • After installing the riser, make sure the adhesive is set before continuing. Step 8: Test Tank and Adapter Seams For Watertightness Step 8a: Test the tank for watertightness if it has not been tested already. Note: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for watertight- ness testing. Some manufacturers require the tank be fully backfilled before testing watertightness. Step 8b: Test the tank -to -riser adapter seams for watertightness. • Use PVC Access Riser Installation (NIN-RLA-RR-1) instructions to test the seams between the access riser, tank adapter, and tank for watertightness. n Key Points: • Watertight seams are critical for proper system performance — all tank - to -riser seams must all pass the watertightness test before you continue. • Follow all applicable regulations and manufacturer's instructions for water- tightness testing.

Step 9b: Wait 15 minutes and then inspect the midseam flange for leaks. There should be no drop in liquid level and no visible leakage from the seam. Step 9c: If there is any leakage, contact your Dealer for information on repairing the AX-RT unit. Step 10. Install Effluent Filter Install the effluent filter after the tank has been water tested. Step I Oa: Verify the model of the effluent filter. • Orenco's FTSO444-36V, FTW0444-36V, and FT0822-14B filters are the only models allowed for use with the AX-RT Treatment Unit. Step 10b: Dry test -fit the effluent filter on the septic tank's outlet pipe. nKey Points: • Make sure the filter is plumb. • Make sure the filter is snug to the tank wall with enough clearance for easy removal of the filter cartridge. Step 10c: Secure the filter to the outlet pipe with one of the following methods: • Glue the filter onto the tank outlet pipe with primer and glue, or • Secure the filter with a stainless steel set screw. Step 10d: If necessary for ease of access, extend the cartridge handle with a longer length of 3/4-inch nominal (20-mm DN) Schedule 40 PVC pipe. Step 11: Connect Transport Line from Tank to AX-RT Step 11 a: Dry fit the 4-inch (100-mm) transport line and any fittings between the outlet of the septic tank and the inlet of the AX-RT unit. Key Point: Confirm there is a minimum fall of 1/8 inch per ft (10 mm per m or 1 %) from the septic tank's invert of outlet to the AX-RT unit's invert of the inlet. Step IIb: Glue all of the transport line pieces in place. OIMPORTANT Do not use primer on ABS parts. Step IIc: For Mode 3 units, glue all of the return line pieces in place. • Install the 1-in. (25-mm) return line between the return line port and the 1-in. (25-mm) grommet for the return line on the tank's inlet riser. • To avoid siphoning, the return line should allow effluent to pour into the tank from the height of the riser grommet.

Using a Pump Curve A pump curve helps you determine the best pump for your system. Pump curves show the relationship between flow and pressure (total dynamic head or "TDH"), providing a graphical representation of a pump's optimal performance range. Pumps perform best at their nominal flow rate. These graphs show optimal pump operation ranges with a solid line and show flow rates outside of these ranges with a dashed line. For the most accurate pump specification, use Orenco's PumpSelecf" software.

Coupled with the VeriComm Web -based Monitoring System, these affordable control panels give water/wastewater system operators and maintenance organizations the ability to monitor and control each individual system's operation remotely, with real-time efficiency, while remaining invisible to the homeowner. VeriComm AXA panels allow remote operators to change system parameters, including timer settings, from the Web interface. Panel To Specify... To specify this panel for your installation, require the following Basic Control Logic. Two Operating Modes • A "Normal Mode" that manages day-to-day functions. • A "Test Mode" that suspends data collection and alarm report- ing during installation and service. Data Collection and Utilization • Data logs of system conditions and events, such as pump run times, pump cycles, and alarm conditions. Troubleshooting and Diagnostic Logic • Troubleshooting capabilities that can report suspected failed components, which then trigger Alarms. Advanced Control Logic • Advanced control logic that activates during float malfunctions to diagnose the situation and keep the system operating nor- mally until servicing. Communication and Alarm Management Remote telemetry capabilities coupled with a Web -based monitoring application (see VeriComm Monitoring System, ATD-WEB-VCOM-1)for communication and alarm manage- ment. Updating of point values (including timer settings) and receipt of queued changes during each communication ses- sion with host. Communication sessions that occur monthly, at a minimum, and more frequently during alarm conditions. • Multiple methods of communication, as follows: Call -In to VeriComm® Host — Automatic notification to host of "Alarms," which signal fault conditions that need to be addressed immediately (e.g., pump failure). — Automatic notification to host of "Alerts," which signal less critical fault conditions and which trigger the panel's troubleshooting logic and alternative operating mode (e.g., stuck float switch). — Automatic notification to host of "Updates," which include alarm updates or all -clear notifications following Alarms/ Alerts, as well as normally scheduled monthly panel reports. — Manual, forced communication from panel to host to effect an updating of point values and receipt of queued changes. Real -Time Direct Connection to Panel — Manual, direct connection at the site via RS-232 serial port, to allow a local operator real-time access to detailed logged data and the ability to change point values from a laptop. — Manual, forced communication by local operator/hom- eowner at the site to initiate an auto -answer mode, allowing a remote operator real-time access to detailed logged data and the ability to change point values. During real-time, manual connections, software with open architecture (and password security) is used; no proprietary software is required. VT100 protocol allows access and control from any computer modem (Mac or PC) with a simple com- munication program (e.g., Windows° HyperTerminal); multilevel password protection in panel ensures that only qualified per- sonnel can access the panel's data.

Standard tether length Notes State: normally open or normally closed The default state of a float - normally open or normally closed - refers to the contact positions in the float when the float is resting (down). Float switches have an internal contact. The terms "normally open" (N/0) and "normally closed" (N/C) refer to the state of the float switch contact in the down position. A normally open float switch has an open contact (off) in the down position and a normally closed float switch has a closed contact (on) in the down position. Different panel functions require different types of float switches. Most applications require float switches that are normally open. One notable exception is the redundant off and low-level alarm function that requires a normally closed float switch, except with MVP and VCOM panels. 2IR (intrinsically safe relay) Approved for use with intrinsically safe, Class 1, Division 1 applications, where reliable float switch operation with very low current is required. 'Drawdown Drawdown (in inches) refers to the difference in liquid level between a float switch's activation and deactivation points. Drawdown can be altered by adjusting the tether length of the float switch cord. When selecting float switches, keep in mind that any float switch that can directly start and stop a pump (one that has no motor contactor in the control panel) should have a drawdown capability, to avoid rapid cycling of the pump. "Signal -rated or motor -rated Every float has a maximum amount of current it can handle. Exceeding these limits may cause premature failure. Signal -rated or "control" floats are used to activate pump control panels and alarms. Only low -amperage signals pass through these float switches, hence the float switch is "signal -rated. "All Orenco panels that use motor contactors can use signal -rated float switches. In some systems, a float switch is used to directly start and stop a pump. In this application, the current that is running the pump passes through the float switch as well, and the float switch must be "motor -rated. " In most instances, a motor -rated float switch can be used as a signal float switch.

To set and adjust float switches, see NIN-MF-DA-1, Float Switches: Settings and Adjustments, or NIN-ATX-DA-1, Float Switch and RSV Settings: Instructions for Residential AdvanTex Systems. For wiring instructions, see the schematics and wiring diagrams included with the control panel for the float switch assembly. Step 1: Prep the Float Switch Assembly Step 1 a: Check for vertical and horizontal clearance between the float switches. • Move each float through its range of vertical and horizontal motion. • The float switches shouldn't interfere with one another during this check. Step 1 b: If the switches interfere with one another, loosen the set screw on one switch's collar and adjust the collar horizontally until the switch is clear of the switch(es) above or below it. • Don't back the set screw completely out of the float collar. Step 2: Install the Float Switch Assembly Once any adjustments are made, install the float switch assembly. IMPORTANT • DON'T lengthen the float stem without prior approval from Orenco. • DON'T change the float tether lengths. Changing the tether lengths may disrupt proper operation of the assembly. Step 2a: Lower the assembly into position. • As you lower the assembly, check that the float switches don't interfere with walls or components in the tank, pump vault, or flow inducer. • If the float switches interfere with walls or components, remove the assembly and adjust the float(s) horizontally for clearance. Step 2b: Attach the float switch assembly to the assembly into the float bracket. • Align the top of the assembly with the top of the float bracket. • The float bracket is usually fixed to the Biotube® effluent filter, the flow inducer, or the side of the pump basin. Step 2c: Secure the loose cables to the splice box by looping them over the internal splice box or secure them with the external splice box's hook -and loop strip. Step 2d: Install a handle extension if the float switch assembly's handle isn't within easy reach for removal and servicing. • Measure from the top of the float bracket to 6 inches (150 mm) below the top of the riser. • Mark and cut a section of 1-inch (25-mm) PVC pipe to the measured length. • Remove the float switch assembly from the float bracket and glue the pipe section into the tee fitting. • Wait for the glue to dry before reinstalling the float switch assembly. 51 Float collar Set screw Check for vertical and horizontal clearance.
