The Division recommends the use of a 900 gallon tank for a two bedroom and a 1200 gallon tank for a three bedroom unit. If excavation into bedrock is necessary for the septic tank or sand filter then a liner of at least 10 moo thickness shall be provided for the septic tank and/or sand filter. b.Sand Filters; These shall be used to provide secondary treatment. Dual or recirculating filters are required for new systems. For dual sand filler fiftera, the loading rate shall b no greater than 1.15 GPD per square foot for primary filters and no greater than 2.3 GPD per square foot for secondary filters. Recirculating Sand Filters should be able to handle 5.0 GPD per square foot with no more than a 3:1 recirculating ratio. Sand shall conform to the Division's standards of 0.35 to 0.5 mm effective size,3.0 uniformity coefficient, and 0.5%dust content. c. Chlorination; The chlorine contact chamber shall have at least a 30 minute detention time. The volume should be calculated as follows: Volume(gallons)=(design flow x 0.5)/ 24 hours. Discharge pipe from the chlorinator shall be perforated. d.Cascade aeration should consist of a 5 step concrete trough but may also be made of rip rap. NOTE: Construction of any wastewater treatment facilities require submission of three.(3) sets of plans and specifications along with their application. Design of treatment facilities must comply with requirement 15A NCAC 2H .0138. If construction is necessary to meet permit requirements include the three sets of plaZand specifications with the application. 5.
