Operation and Maintenance Plan
System Background
The wastewater treatment and disposal system is designed to treat a maximum of 360 gallons per day of
wastewater generated from a three -bedroom residence, The system will consist of a 1,250 gallon septic
tank with effluent filter, a recirculating AdvanTex AX 20 Treatment Unit, a 1,211 gallon AdvanTex
dosing tank, an ultraviolet disinfection unit, a 3,530 gallon storage / field dosing tank, a 0.40 acre drip
irrigation field with 5,796 linear feet of dripline, and -all the necessary appurtenances. The septic tank
will receive the wastewater by gravity flow as it leaves the home. Once the wastewater fills the septic
tank, it will exit the septic tank by gravity through an effluent filter. The wastewater then enters the
AdvanTex dosing tank where it is pumped through the AdvanTex treatment unit.' The AdvanTex unit
removes any additional solids that were not removed in the septic tank and effluent filter. The
wastewater then flows by gravity into either the AdvanTex dosing tank or the field dosing tank by means
of a flow splitter. The wastewater is then pumped to the hydraulic unit where it is treated by the
ultraviolet disinfection unit before being pumped to the disposal field. Each of these treatment units are
described in additional detail below.
SMtic� AdvanTex Dosing, Field Dosin l Slora>xe T nks.
The proposed wastewater treatment system will provide both anaerobic treatment and solids removal in a
1,250 gallon septic tank. This tank will be provided by Blackwelder Tank Service or approved equal and
it has been previously approved by the On -Site Wastewater Section (STB-346). This tank will provide
greater than 80 hours of detention providing for adequate anaerobic treatment and solids removal from
the wastewater. The septic tank will contain an Orenco FT -Series Biotube effluent filter or approved
equal to prevent solids from reaching the AdvanTex dosing tank.
The AdvanTex dosing tank is a 1,211 gallon tank that will also be provided by Blackwelder Tank Service
(PT-213) or approved equal. Septic tank effluent will drain into the dosing tank. Wastewater will be
pumped from the dosing tank onto the AdvanTex filter, and the AdvanTex filter effluent will flow by
gravity into the AdvanTex dosing tank or the field dosing / storage tank. The field dosing / storage tank
is a 3,530 gallon tank provided by Blackwelder Tank Service (PT-377) or approved equal. The effluent
from the storage tank will be pumped to the drip irrigation fields.
The AdvanTex and field storage / dosing tanks will be connected to audible and visible high water
alarms. These alarms will alert the operator when too much wastewater has accumulated in the tanks so
that he may turn on the pumps to empty the tank. The alarms will be connected to an auxiliary power
supply so that they will function even during a power failure.
Pumps
There are two pumps within the wastewater treatment system. The AdvanTex falter dosing pump will be
an Orenco 1/2 hp pump (Model P30-05) or equivalent as approved by the engineer- The drip field dosing
pump will be a Zoeller'/ hp pump (Model 5032-0007) or equivalent as approved by the engineer. Both
pumps will be connected to a control panel. Pump efficiency shall be monitored by recording the
amperage supplied to the pump. A sudden decrease in efficiency will indicate that the pump must be
replaced. Pump replacement can be accomplished by disconnecting pumps from the power supply and
unscrewing them from the attached piping.

AdvanTex Filter:
The AdvanTex filter will be used to provide additional treatment to the septic tank effluent as well as
removing suspended solids not removed by the septic tank. The filter will be housed in the container
provided by Orenco. The AdvanTex filter will be dosed by an Orenco pump (Model P30-05) with a
distribution system placed above the textile filter media which will discharge onto the media. The
underdrain system will transport the AdvanTex filter effluent back into one of the dosing tanks.
Ultraviolet Disinfection Unit
The ultraviolet disinfection unit will be used to disinfect the AdvanTex filter effluent before it reaches
the drip field. The effluent will be pumped through the ultraviolet unit before it is dosed to the fields.
The ultraviolet disinfection unit shall be by Atlantic Ultraviolet (Sanitron Model S37A) or approved
equal by engineer.
Mini-Clik
A Hunter Mini-Clik shall be installed adjacent to the field dosing pump control panel in an area that will
receive precipitation (i.e. that is not covered by a rainhood or trees). This rain sensor will only be used
for the drip irrigation pump to cease operations during wet conditions. The storage tank will store the
treated wastewater for more than five days; however, it may be necessary to override the control system
following large precipitation events if the tank is above capacity. During wet conditions, the sensor will
send a signal to the pump controls to inactivate the pump. If it becomes necessary to release wastewater
from the tank, the Mini-Clik system may be turned off and the pump switched on manually.
Drip Irrigation System
The drip irrigation field will be dosed by the field dosing pump at 9.8 gprn. The drip field will have three
(3) zones each with 1,932 linear feet of drip line. Each emitter shall be capable of delivering 0-61 gph.
The operator shall seed the drip area with Bermuda grass. The wastewater applied to the plants will
provide ample moisture and nutrients to promote plant growth. The fencing surrounding the drip field
area will prevent uprooting of the plants and protect them.
System Operation
The wastewater treatment system is designed to dose the AdvanTex filter every 20 minutes with 20
gallons of septic tank effluent. If less than 20 gallons of wastewater is available, the low level signal will
inactivate the pump. Another set of controls will activate the dosing pump and associated control valve to
dose the spray field every 4 hours. Flow to the drip field is designed for a maximum of 60 gallons per
dose. (The actual volume of dose is dependent on activation of the low level signal.) The volume dosed
is controlled by the `run time' set on the dose run/rest interval timer. The pump will de -energize if the
low water level "pump off" float is activated. The flow meter installed in the hydraulic unit will track the
volume of wastewater irrigated.
If the high water level "alarm" float switch is activated, the system will energize the audible and flashing
alarm fixtures. Once energized, the flashing and audible alarm units may only reset manually. If the
alarm light begins flashing after being reset, it means that either there is a clog in the system or the pump
has failed. This may be corrected by simply pressing the reset button. If this doesn't energize the pump,
the wet well will have to be opened and the pump removed to check for deficiencies or an object that
may be clogging the system. If there are no obvious flaws on the pump itself and no objects inside the
pump tank, restore the pump and try resetting it again. If the pump still does not work, contact the pump
manufacturer.
