General Permit Coverage. In accordance with your application for discharge, the Division of
Water Resources (DWR) herewith forwards the subject Authorization to Construct (ATC) and Certificate of
Coverage (COC) to discharge under the subject NPDES General Permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements\of North Carolina General Statue 143-215 .1, the Memorandum of Agreement between North
Carolina and the US Environmental Protection agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
Your permit package includes:
▪ Certificate of Coverage / Authorization to Construct / Operation & Maintenance Instructions
• A copy of Wastewater Discharge General Permit NCG550000
▪ A copy of the approved plans and specifications (signed September 24, 2014).
• Engineer's Certification form (to be returned to DWR upon project completion).

DWR understands that the subject site has been judged "unsuitable" for a ground -absorption sewer system by
the Cumberland County Department of Environmental Health Division (letter dated October 6, 2005).
Therefore, your authorized consultant, Bateman Civil Survey Company, PC of Holly Springs, NC, intends to
replace the existing failed septic system with a treatment system designed to discharge to Surface Waters of the
State. Bateman Civil Survey Company, PC has also determined that connection to the nearest city sewer
service is approximately 4.21 mile(s) away, and estimates the cost to connect at $1,600,000. The Division
therefore concurs with the consultant that this is not a viable discharge option based on cost.
Compliance under General Permit NCG550000 restricts discharge, flow, not to exceed 1,000 gallons per day.
This COC covers treatment facilities currently designed for a 3-bedroom single-family residence estimated to
discharge 360 gpd (120 gallons per bedroom).

NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
Revised May 24, 2010
Who Is Covered Under This Permit?
This permit covers discharges of treated domestic
wastewater from single family residences at flows not to
exceed 1000 gallons per day. Other types of facilities
discharging less than 1000 gallons per day of treated
domestic wastewater may be covered under this permit
with the approval of the Division.
Changes in Reissued General Permit
The previous General Permit expired July 31, 2007. The
permit has been reissued for an additional five years. The
new permit contains the following significant changes
from the previous version:
• Dechlorination is now required for all facilities
installing chlorination after the- effective date of the
final permit.
• Risers will be required on all new septic tanks
making them easier to locate.
There were also changes made to the Notice of Intent
(NOI) which is filed to gain coverage under this permit.
The NOI requires updated buffer requirements aligning
with 15A NCAC 02T.0506, and the sign -off of a
professional engineer for all new systems.
Key Permit Requirements
• Annual sampling of the effluent from the system is
required. The parameters to be sampled can be found
in Part I, Section A. A North Carolina certified
laboratory should be contacted to perform the
analytical monitoring. A list of -certified laboratories
can be obtained by calling the Division.
All samples should be collected before the effluent
joins or is diluted by any other wastestream, water or
substance. (Part II, Section D:1)
• The permittee shall give notice to the Division of any
planned physical alterations or additions to the
system that could significantly increase the quantity
of pollutants discharged or introduce new pollutants
to the discharge. These alterations include any types
of residence/facility expansions. (Part II, Section
E:3)
• Submission of monitoring reports is not required. All
monitoring information must be retained on site for a
period of 3 years. (Part II, Section E:1)
Minimum Treatment System Requirements
System requirements for existing (previously
constructed) systems are a septic tank, sand filter and
disinfection . apparatus.. All existing facilities adding
chlorination after August 1, 2007 will also be required to
add dechlorination. System requirements for a new (not
yet constructed) system are a septic tank, primary and
secondary (or recirculating) sand filters,
chlorination/dechlorination (or equivalent means of
disinfection) and post -aeration apparatus.
Operation and Maintenance
In order to protect water quality and to ensure proper
operation of domestic wastewater systems, the following
measures should be taken:
• Check the septic tank every year to see if solids
should be removed:
• Have the septic tank pumped out every three to five
years. Contact -a local septic service/repair company
from the yellow pages.
• Inspect disinfection and dechlorination equipment
(if applicable) weekly to confirm proper operation.
• If a chlorinator and/or dechlorinator is installed,
replace tablets whenever necessary.
Tips for Maintaining Your Septic Tank
The septic tank is usually a watertight concrete box buried
in the ground outside the house. Wastewaters from the
house, including- the toilets, shower, bathtub, washing
machine and dishwasher flow into the tank. Heavier solid
materials settle to the bottomandthe liquid flows out, of
the tank into a soil drainfield. Both the septic tank and
drainfield must be properly maintained for the system to
work correctly for many years. Some tips for maintaining
your septic system are:
• Do not put too much water into the septic system.
Try to conserve water wherever possible.
• Do not add materials such as chemicals, sanitary
napkins, or other foreign objects.
• Restrict the use of your garbage disposal.
• Do not pour grease or cooking oils down the drain.
• Have the solids pumped out of the septic tank every
3-5 years.
• Keep automobiles and heavy equipment off of the
septic tank and drain field.
Chlorination and Dechlorination Tablets
If the treatment system has a chlorinator or dechlorinator,
it is important that there is an adequate supply of tablets
to ensure proper operation. There will usually be a white
PVC pipe sticking up from the chlorinator/dechlorinator
where the tablets should be inserted. Tablets can be

obtained from most plumbing supply stores. Make sure
that the tablets are certified for wastewater use. Chlorine
tablets are NOT the same • type of chlorine used for
swimming pools.
Signs of Septic System Problems
Some of the signs that your septic system may be having
problems are:
• Sewage backing up into your toilets, tubs or sinks.
o Slowly draining fixtures; particularly after it has
rained.

Right -of --Way
Issuance of this general permit does not relieve the
permittee from obtaining all necessary right-of-way or . easement rights to discharge wastewater on or across
another property.
Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to submit the monitoring results
annually?
No. The submission of monitoring reports for this
permit is not required. There are no standardized
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) associated
with this permit. All monitoring results should be
kept on site for three years. The Division may
request these reports for review at any time. (Part II,
Section E:1)
2) Do I need to employ a certified wastewater
treatment plant operator to manage and run the
system?
Not at this time. The Division's Operator Training
and Certification Unit does not currently plan to
classify these types of facilities for the purposes of
needing a certified operator. The requirement was
left in the permit at this time with clarification, in the
event that classification was assigned in the future.
(Part II, Section C:1)
3) Where do I find my stream classification?
The stream classification, i.e. WS-IV, C, Tr, etc. can
usually be found in the Certificate of Coverage. If
you are unsure of your stream classification, you can
contact the NPDES Permitting Program.
4) Does a certified lab need to be used toanalyze
samples?
Yes, a North Carolina certified lab must be used to
perform analytical monitoring. The only exception to
this rule is when measuring the value of pH. pH
values should be measured in the field because they
may change considerably between when the sample
is pulled and it is analyzed at the laboratory. A list of
certified labs is available from the Division.
5) What If I Sell My Property?
The Division views changes of name or ownership as
a minor modification and requires the Director's
approval. Name and ownership changes require you
to complete a Name/Ownership Change Form. The
forms are available by contacting the NPDES
Permitting Program at [phone]. •
6) When does my permit expire and how do I renew
it?
The expiration date of the permit is on the first page
of the General Permit. This General Permit expires
on July 31, 2012. Approximately 180 days prior the
expiration of the General Permit, you will• receive a
renewal notice in the mail from the Division.

Dear Mr. Hennessy,
I am writing on behalf of my client, Mr. Lee D. Herrera of Roundpoint Asset
Management, Inc., to check on the progress of the application for a permit to install an Advantex
Pretreatment Septic System on the above -referenced property.. This property was a tax
foreclosure property owned by Cumberland County. My client purchased it at the tax
foreclosure sale and was given a Commissioner's Deed, which was recorded on July 1, 2014.
After the sale commenced but prior to my client submitting his final bid and purchasing the
property, unbeknownst to the attorney conducting the foreclosure, the Cumberland County Board
of Commissioners voted to condemn the property in May of last year for failure to meet the
minimum housing code of the County due to issues with the septic system.
After the property was purchased, my client applied for a 90 day stay of the demolition
ordinance and on August 27, 2015 Matt Burdett of Bates Civil Survey Company submitted the
application for the new septic system on behalf of my client. While awaiting a decision on the
permit, the Cumberland County Board of commissioners has twice extended the stay of the
demolition ordinance but on April 13th, the Board of Commissioners, in a 4-3 decision, voted not
to extend the stay of the demolition ordinance.
In order to protect his investment, on April 15, 2015, we filed a civil action to enjoin the
County from proceeding with the demolition of the property and on April 17, Superior Court
Judge Winston Gilchrist issued a Temporary Restraining Order enjoining the County from
proceeding with the demolition for 30 days, which was recently extended once again by Judge
Beecher Gray until June 1, 2015.
As I understand it, the only matter of concern that was holding up the approval of the
application was a drainage easement appearing in a plat from 1981 that was later inadvertently
omitted in a subsequent survey in 1987. Since this was discovered, Mr. Lee has corrected this
issue and the previously omitted drainage easement, as of May 8th, has now been recorded. I
have enclosed a copy for you if you have not already been provided with one. The recording of
this easement connects all of the other easements giving access for drainage of the treated waste
water. Based on my understanding of the requirements for the issuance of a permit, I see no
objective reason for its denial.
The Temporary Restraining Order and Motion for a Preliminary Injunction come back on

for hearing before the Court on June 1st, just 11 days from now. A final decision approving my
client's application for the permit by that date would fully and fmally resolve my client's court
case and allow him to proceed with installing the new septic system. My client has invested a
great deal of time and money into this property to bring it into compliance and now time is of the
essence in obtaining final approval. Please let me know immediately whether there is anything
in addition that my client needs to obtain his final approval so that we can have a final decision
before this matter goes back to Court.
Yours very truly,
J. KIRKMAN NANCE, PLLC

As the installer of an onsite wastewater treat-
ment system, you play a crucial role. Dealers,
regulators, homeowners, manufacturers, neigh-
bors, service providers ... we all rely on your
expertise and good work. At Orenco, we've
worked hard to make your installation as easy
and "hassle -free" as possible.
We're very proud of this wastewater treatment
system. Like all our products, the AdvanTex®
AX20 Treatment System has gone through
extensive research, development, and field-
testing. Then each component is built to written
specifications and subjected to quality review
before shipping. In addition, our AX2ON
models meet the requirements of NSF -ANSI
Standard 40 for Class I Systems. If this system or any of its components possesses flaws that would inhibit its proper
functioning, please contact your authorized AdvanTex Dealer. The Dealer can also provide repair and replacement
instructions and replacement components. If there is no authorized AdvanTex Dealer in your area, call Orenco
Systems, Inc. at 800-348-9843 or 541-459-4449.
This manual covers installation of all residential models of our AdvanTex AX20 Treatment Systems, including
Mode 1 and Mode 3 configurations. If you're unsure which mode you are installing, check the design drawing.
It's important that you read through this entire manual before doing anything. And make sure you have the correct
equipment, materials, tools, and training to perform this installation.
Additionally, each Orenco control panel comes with panel -specific information and instructions on wiring, timer
settings, and operating instructions. Please read all other documents included with the control panel, as well.
Also, be sure to get a copy of our AX20 Install Video from your AdvanTex Dealer. Watching the video will help
you understand the installation process. However, please note that the manual contains more detail and is updated
more often than the video, and you must perform the installation according to the current manual to keep the
warranty in. force.
Once you become familiar with the installation process, you should be able to install an AdvanTex AX20 Treatment
System in half a day, not counting the time to install the tank and dispersal system.
Important Notes
• All tanks used with AdvanTex Treatment Systems must be prequalified Call your local Dealer for specifics.
• The backwash discharge from a salt -type water softener MUST NOT be plumbed into an AdvanTex Treatment
System, or the systems warranty will be void. Contact your AdvanTex Dealer if you have any questions about
household plumbing arrangements that may interfere with the functioning of the system.
• All pipe diameters given are U.S. nominal IPS pipe sizes. Ifyou are using metric pipe, you may need adapters
to connect to the U.S. fittings supplied.
• Ifyou are not a trained AdvanTex Installer, contact your local Dealer or Orenco for training before installing

ngtallation Manual: Residential AdvanTex' AX20 Systems
The AdvanTex AX20 Treatment System has five main functional units:
1. Control Panel
2. AdvanTex Filter Pod
3. Recirculating Splitter Valve
4. Biotube Pumping Package
5. Processing Tank
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. Holes in the tank's baffle
wall allow effluent from the clear layer to flow into the second compartment of the tank. The Biotube pump pack-
age in the second compartment pumps filtered effluent to a distribution manifold in the AdvanTex pod. Effluent
percolates down through the textile media and is collected in the bottom of the filter basin. The treated effluent
flows out of the filter pod through a 2-in. diameter pipe that returns the treated effluent to the recirculating splitter
valve (RSV). The RSV automatically splits the return 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.
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 a half -minute or less), typically 72 times a day.
This frequent "microdosing," which optimizes the treatment process, occurs 24 hours a day, to maintain the proper
biological environment.

Before starting the installation, familiarize yourself with the site
plans and specifics of your installation. For rnultipod residen-
tial systems, contact your local Dealer for special instructions
on layout, installation, and equipment. If you are installing the
AdvanTex pod more than 20 feet (6 meters) away from the tank,
contact your Dealer or Orenco for assistance.
la) Detailed Site Plans Provided:
If you are installing the AdvanTex AX20 System according to a
set of detailed plans, we recommend that you make sure that the
plans you have accurately reflect conditions at the site. If there
are differences between the physical site and the plans, we recom-
mend you contact the Designer before scheduling the installation.
1b) No Site Plans Provided:
If you are installing the AdvanTex System without detailed site
plans, or with plans of limited detail, the Orenco AdvanTex Treat-
ment Systems Design/Engineering Package for Residential Appli-
cations can help you design your system layout successfully. For
a copy, contact your local Dealer or Orenco.
• Determine and sketch the exact positions of the tank and AdvanTex
pod on the site. If a pump basin is required, sketch the location of
the pump basin. (See Appendix 4, "PBAX Pump Basin Installation.")
Account for current and likely future landscape features in your
sketch.
• Be sure to position the tank and pod to allow for a minimum M inch
per foot slope (20 mm per meter, or a 2% slope) in the line from the
filtrate return at the bottom of the pod to the inlet of the RSV. (See
Appendix 3, "RSV and Float Level Diagram. ")
• Determine and sketch the positions and lengths of your pipe runs and
connections in as much detail as possible. During the installation,
write down measurements to critical buried elements.
• Sketch the placement of the control panel. (See Panel Installation,
E1N-CP-GEN-1, for installation recommendations.)
The AdvanTex pod can be placed in several different positions
in relation to the tank. Before determining which position is best,
look to see how the filtrate return line needs to be run. Notice
that the outlet for the filtrate return line and the inlet for the
transport pipe are typically installed on opposite sides of the pod.

Step ;Excavate and $et,Tank
This section covers excavating the hole for the tank and set-
ting the tank. For information on excavating the hole for the
AdvanTex pod, see Step 4. For information on excavating the
hole for the discharge pump basin, see Appendix 4, "PBAX
Pump Basin Installation."
Consider the necessary elevations and grade requirements for the
tank and AdvanTex pod before excavating the hole for the tank.
The tank must be set deep enough below the pod to allow for
a minimum''/4 inch per foot slope (20 mm per meter, or a 2%
slope) from the outlet of the filter to the inlet of the RSV on the
riser. (Using an Orenco tank saddle on a concrete tank or on an
Orenco fiberglass tank will create the correct slope.) Also, keep
in mind that the top of the AdvanTex pod needs to sit 11/2 inches
(40 mm) above final grade.
If a concrete tank is used or if an Orenco fiberglass tank without
a tank saddle is used, you need to calculate how high to elevate
the pod above the tank. Variables include:
• Length of the filtrate return line
• Type of tank being used
• Style of the tank adapter being used
• Elevation of the RSV3Q penetration in the riser
• Final grade of the site
Step 2a: Outline an excavation area (with chalk, paint, string,
etc.) for the tank. If you plan to place your discharge basin in
the tank excavation, refer to Appendix 4, "PBAX Pump Basin
Installation."
Step 2b: Excavate the hole for the tank following the tank manu-
facturer's recommendations. Remember that you need the correct
depth for a consistent'/4 inch per foot slope (20 mm per meter, or
a 2% slope) from the filtrate return to the RSV.

Place tank on a 4-in. bed of compacted pea gravel in
uneven or rocky excavations.
Step 2c: Make sure the bottom of the excavation is free of
debris, especially rocks and other sharp objects. 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: Set the tank following the manufacturer's instructions.
Follow the tank manufacturer's guidelines for watertight testing,
antiflotation measures, and backfilling to the level of the top of
the tank. Do not backfill past the top of the tank at this time.
NOTE: An AdvanTex pocl can be attached to an Orenco FRP
tank using an Orenco Fiberglass Tank Saddle. Consult the
Fiberglass Tank Saddle Installation Instructions (NIN SAD-1)
or Two Piece Fiberglass Tank Saddle Instructions (ArN-SAD-2),
available from the Document Library at ii' vw.orenco.com. Some
Dealers supply the AdvanTex pod already attached and plumbed
(Fully Assembled Package - FAP) so that the tank and the
AdvanTex pod can be installed as a unit, cis shown in the photos
at left. This simplifies installation and saves time.

to install it after the riser is in place.
Step 3a: Refer to the Riser Sizing Chart at right to ensure you
are installing correctly sized risers for your application. Place
the risers with their grommeted holes in the directions shown on
your engineering plans. The riser that will have the RSV installed
in it (inlet riser for Mode 3; outlet riser for Mode 1) must be
installed so that the RSV inlet piping is oriented to accept the
filtrate return line. For any risers that will have electrical conduits
running to them, try to orient electrical grommeted holes to mini-
mize the number of bends. (National Electrical Code limits the
sum of all bends in a run to 360 degrees.)
Step 3b: Wipe the areas to be bonded with a clean rag to ensure
a clean, dry bonding surface.
Step 3c: To bond the riser to the riser tank adapter, you can
use either ADH100 or methacrylate adhesive alone. However,
because ADH100 does not provide a structural joint for approxi-
mately 24 hours, you may want to use both adhesives. If so,
apply methacrylate adhesive to the outside surface of the riser
tank adapter for a quick (usually an hour or less) structural joint.
Step 3d: When applying adhesive to the riser with the RSV,
apply an additional bead below the RSV bracket before placing
the riser on the manway, because once the riser is in position, it
is hard to reach under the RSV bracket with an adhesive gun.
* Orenco FRP tanks do not require an adapter. Risers are bonded, directly to the tank.

Step 3e: Carefully slide the riser onto the adapter. Correctly ori-
ent the riser before the adhesive starts to set.
Step 3f: Apply a bead of adhesive to the inside of the adapter
and riser joint; then use a putty knife or similar tool to form a
continuous fillet between the tank adapter and the inside of the
riser.
Step 3g: After the adhesives have hardened, fill the tank with
clean water to a level 2 inches (51 mm) above the adhesive joint
in the riser, to test the watertightness of the tank and the riser
joint. Do not allow the water level to rise more than 3 inches
(76 mm) into the riser because structural damage to the tank
may occur. The inlet pipe into the tank needs to be turned up or
plugged to allow the tank to be filled.
CAUTION: Check the tank inanufactu/er's guidelines before
water testing the tank. Some tank manufacturers require a partial
or complete backfill before a tank is water tested.
Step 3h: When the tank proves watertight, drain the excess
water to about 1 inch above the RSV cage.

Before installing the AdvanTex pod, consider the depth of the ,._..
tank and the height of the RSV penetration in the tank riser.
Remember that the pod must be elevated high enough above the
tank to allow for a minimum 1/4 inch per foot slope (20 mm per
meter, or a 2% slope) on the filtrate return line, which runs from
the outlet of the filter to the inlet of the RSV.
The top of the pod should also end up approximately 11/2 inches
(40 nun) above finished grade, to allow for settlement and drain-
age. Take into account any planned landscaping that might affect
the finished grade of the system.
With a Concrete Tank:
Step 4a: If you are installing the pod directly on top of the tank,
follow the tank manufacturer's guidelines for backfilling the
tank and place a layer of compacted crushed rock, soil, or sand
between the top of the tank and the bottom of the pod in order to
get the required slope on the filtrate return line.
Step 4b: If the pod is not being installed on top of the tank, mark
and excavate a hole for the pod. This hole has to be at least
5 ft x 91/2 ft (1500 mm x 2900 mm) to accommodate the anti -
flotation flanges. For multipod systems, make sure you allow at
least 44 inches (1120 mm) between each pod.
Step 4c: Set the pod in place. An AX20 weighs about 350 lb
(160 kg) dry. You can lift and set the pod into place by slinging
two wide truck straps under the entire unit and lifting it with an
excavator, or you can move and set it manually.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the pod, make sure the lid is
closed and secured with the lid bolts before hoisting the pod with
straps. DO NOT hoist'the pod with straps once the antiflotation
flanges are attached! Lower the pod into the hole onto 2 x 4s or
similar supports, bolt on the flanges, then remove the 2 x 4s.
Step 4d: AdvanTex pods come standard with a set of antiflo-
tation flanges. The flanges help prevent the pod from floating
out of the ground under saturated soil conditions. (See Step 13,
"Backfill the Installation.") The flanges come with predrilled
anti -flotation attaching brackets and stainless steel bolts for
attaching the flanges to the pod. With the flanges in position
under the pod, mark and drill'7/64-in. (7-mm) diameter holes in
the flanges to line up with the predrilled holes in the tabs. Use
the 1/4 - 20 x 1.25 bolts and nuts provided to attach the flanges to
the brackets.
The AdvanTex pod's lid should be 1% inches (38 mm)
above finished grade.

With the Orenco Fiberglass Tank and Tank Saddle:
See step 5c through 5f for information on dry fitting and install-
ing plumbing before continuing.
If you're using the Orenco Fiberglass Tank and Tank Saddle,
the saddle should be attached to the tank already. If you need
to attach the saddle to the tank, refer to Tank Saddle Installa-
tion Instructions (.NIN-SAD-1). * You will not need antiflotation
flanges for the pod.
Step 4e: Using a backhoe, lower the pod onto 2 x 4s or sections
of pipe and remove the lifting straps.
Step 4f: Sand the bottom edges of the pod that will rest on the
pre -sanded areas of the saddle, and wipe them with acetone to
prepare them for gluing.
Step 4g: Apply a bead of methacrylate adhesive to the sanded
area of the saddle where the pod will rest, moving the pod on its
supports as necessary.
Step 4h: Remove the supports one by one and lower the pod
onto the saddle, making sure that the pod is completely seated in
the saddle.
IMPORTANT: Attaching the pod to the tank with the saddle
adds the pod's buoyancy to the tanks, which in noncohesive soils
(see Step 13, `Backf ll Installation') makes it necessary to pour
a concrete antotation collar around the midseam of the tank
Consult a local soils engineer if you are unsure whether a con-
crete collar is needed. Instructions for pouring the collar are in
the Fiberglass Tank Installation Instructions (NIN-TNK--1). *

NOTE: All ABS components supplied by Orenco are colored
black for easy identification. DO NOT use primer on ABS parts.
If Using a Concrete Tank:
Step 5a: Dry fit all of the plumbing between the filtrate return
on the pod and the split -flow tee using nominal 2-in. PVC pipe
and fittings as necessary. We recotnmend using two 45° or 90°
elbows to create the necessary minimum 2% slope (or minimum
1 %-in. [38-mm] drop) between the pod outlet and the split flow
tee on the RSV. Mark the alignment of the fittings with a water-
proof marker.
Step 5b: Glue the pipe and fittings together with ABS/PVC tran-
sition cement (IPS Weld -On® 794 or equivalent), starting at the
split -flow tee, using the marks to align the parts.
If Using an Orenco Fiberglass Tank and Tank Saddle:
Step 5c: Set the pod onto the saddle without adhesive and dry -fit
the plumbing. Mark the alignment of the fittings with a water-
proof marker.
Step 5d: Follow the steps for installing the pod on the saddle as
described in Steps 4e to 4h.
Step 5e: While the adhesive is wet, glue the fittings together
with ABS/PVC transition cement (IPS Weld -On® 794 or equiva-
lent), starting at the split -flow tee, using the marks to align the
parts. As the last step, apply cement to the outlet of the pod and
the pipe elbow, slide the pod back toward the RSV on the wet
adhesive, and connect the fittings.
For All Installations:
Step 5f: Connect the 2-in. discharge line from the split -flow tee
to the pump basin or to the dispersal area, maintaining a mini-
mum Y4 inch per foot slope (20 mm per meter, or a 2% slope). Be
careful not to create low spots where liquid can pond.
On the split flow tee, orient the eccentric reducing couplings
so the small end is at the lowest point possible, as shown in the
illustration to the right. Refer to Appendix 4 in this document for
more information about installing the pump basin.

The Recirculating Splitter Valve (RSV) controls the recirculation
of effluent returning from the AdvanTex filter pod. Floating
balls in the valve rise and fall with the level of liquid in the tank.
If the level is high, the valve directs effluent to the dispersal
system. If the level is low, effluent returns to the tank for further
treatment.
For systems operating in Mode 1, the recirculating splitter valve
(RSV) is installed in the riser over the tank's second compart-
ment (or in the inlet riser of the second tank in a two -tank instal-
lation). Whenever possible, the RSV should be installed between
the baffle wall and the pump system to ensure mixing of the
return effluent.
For systems operating in Mode 3, the RSV (duckbill model) is
installed in the tank's inlet riser. The RSV must be installed so as
not to interfere with the inlet tee.
Step 6a: Verify that you have all the pieces of the RSV: the
handle pipe, body, quick -disconnect bracket, flanged coupling
and eccentric reducing couplings, split -flow tee, stinger pipe, and
RSV cage. The body and cage will be different depending on
whether you are installing the Mode 1 or Mode 3 model.
IMPORTANT: The RSV bracket should have been installed
before the riser was installed. If it hasn't been installed, install it
now, following the instructions supplied with it (NIN-RSV-3) *.
Step 6b: The RSV comes with an 18-in. (457-mm) long stinger
pipe. Determine the correct stinger length for your installation
and shorten or lengthen the pipe if needed. If the low liquid level
is not specified for the particular installation, refer to Appendix
3 of this manual for typical RSV and float settings. (The normal
low liquid level — the level at which 100% of the filtrate returns
to the tank — determines the stinger length.)
For almost all applications, the stinger will be shorter than 24 in.
(610 mm), and the low liquid level will be approximately 6 inch-
es (152 mm) below the top of the RSV cage. For stingers longer
than 36 inches (914 mm), Mode 1 RSVs require a different top
plate for the ball cage and Mode 3 RSVs require a different seat-
ing grommet for the ball cage. Contact your Dealer or Orenco for
more information.
IMPORTANT: Correct stinger length is critical to the proper
operation of the system!

Step 6c: After you've cut the stinger pipe to the correct length,
attach it to both the RSV cage and the RSV body using PVC
cement.
IMPORTANT: Some RSV3Q parts are ABS and others are
PVC. All ABS components are colored black for easy identi-
fication. Use all-purpose ABS/PVC transition cement (such
as IPS Weld -On" 794) to join them. Do not use primer on
ABS parts.
Step 6d: Mode 3 installations require the duckbill model RSV,
which has a flexible PVC tube that vents the RSV cage to atmo-
sphere. Push the flexible PVC tube onto the insert fitting on the
cage. Thread the other end of the tube through the tube holder at
the top of the RSV body. Leave about 6 inches (152 mm) of tube
extending through the tube holder. Any excess can be cut off.
Step 6e: If your riser is less than 30 inches (762 mm) high,
shorten the handle as needed by cutting out the excess. Then glue
it into the top of the RSV body with ABS/PVC transition cement,
such as IPS Weld -On 794. Orient the handle crosspiece so that
it will be close to the side of the riser instead of sticking out into
the middle.
Step 6f: Push the RSV body down into its bracket until the valve
body is flush or almost flush with the bracket. Use your weight
to push it down, and then wiggle it till you're sure it's snug.

tep l lnstall Biotube. Pum Packa e ;
The Biotube pump vault holds the Biotube effluent filter and a
high -head pump. Your vault may have support pipes to allow it
to hang from the rim of the tank at the bottom of the riser, or it
may be an "earless" vault designed to rest on the bottom of the
tank.
Step 7a: If your vault includes support pipes, detach them from
the packaging material, and remove one of the two screws from
each pipe. Slide the support pipes through the holes in the sup-
port brackets at the top of the vault. Reinstall the screws.
Step 7b: Gently lower the vault into position in the access riser.
If there are support pipes, they should rest on top of the tank, and
if the vault is earless, it should rest on the tank bottom.
Step 7c: A splice box houses the connections for the pump and
float switches. Either an internal splice box or an external splice
box can be used.
If an external splice box is being used, it should be installed
before the riser is installed. If not, refer to External Splice Box
Installation Instructions (EIN-SB-SBEX-1), and install the
external splice box.
If an internal splice box is being used, install it now. To install an
internal splice box into an access riser, lubricate both the outside
of the conduit coupling and the grommet with pipe lubricant or
an equivalent product and slide the coupling through the grom-
met until the box is snug against the riser wall. Use a conduit
seal to ensure condensation does not affect the system.

Step 7d: Screw the discharge assembly into the pump. Carefully
lower the pump and discharge assembly into the flow inducer of
the Biotube pump vault.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the pump and pump electri-
cal cord, DO NOT use the cord to lower the pump!
Step 7e: Using pipe lubricant or an equivalent product, lubricate
the access riser grommet and the gray nipple on the discharge
assembly. Push the nipple through the grommet and orient the
discharge assembly to make component removal for maintenance
easy.
Step 7f: Although float switches are set at the factory for the
appropriate depths, compare the float settings with the project
plans and specifications to make sure the settings are correct. If
you need to adjust a setting, refer to Appendix 3 at the end of
this document for typical RSV and float settings for residential
systems.
Step 7g: Insert the float switch assembly into the float bracket
on the Biotube filter handle. Make sure you can detach it without
removing the Biotube cartridge or pump vault.
Step 7h: If you have an "earless" vault with a lifting rope, coil
the rope neatly and secure it to the splice box along with the float
cords so that it does not fall into the vault or interfere with the
floats.
Step 7i: Make sure that the components are arranged in the
riser so that you can pull out the Biotube filter cartridge and the
float stem without having to disconnect anything. Extending the
Biotube cartridge's handles with 1-in. pipe and extending the
float stem in the same way will make maintenance easier.

The transport line conveys effluent from the discharge assembly
to the pod. The transport line can be connected to either end of
the AdvanTex pod. We reconunend installing it in the end oppo-
site the filtrate return — on the same side as the passive air vent
— to facilitate cleaning.
Step 8a: Determine which possible inlet location you are install-
ing the transport line into, and cut a 13/a-in. (44.5 mm) hole in
the pod where it is marked with a cross. (If you are using piping
other than U.S. nominal 1-in., measure your grommet and cut the
hole to fit.) Remove any burrs and install the 11/4-in. grommet,
sealing it in place with ADH 100 adhesive.
Step 8b: From the inside of the pod, insert the lower mani-
fold elbow through the grommeted hole, and connect the 1-in.
transport line from the discharge assembly to this elbow. In cold
weather installations, slope the line so that it drains back to the
tank after every cycle. We recommend installing a coupling on
the transport line outside the pod next to the grommet to prevent
the line from being pushed into the pod during installation or
maintenance.
Step 8c: Temporarily disassemble the manifold union so that,
when the pump first comes on during start-up, any debris in the
transport piping will not be pumped into the manifold (which
could then require orifice cleaning).

Step' 9 %stall Passive Air:
Step 9a: Using 2-in. PVC pipe, plumb the passive air vent to
the 2-in. fitting that protrudes through the filter wall. Be sure the
vent line is sloped to drain towards the pod, to prevent accumula-
tion of water in the vent line. And remember that the top of the
vent must be at least 3 inches (76 mm) above grade.
Step 9b: We recommend installing the air vent near a wall or in
a similar location where it is less likely to be damaged by a lawn
mower or accidental kicking, etc. You can easily hide the air vent
behind shrubbery or other landscaping and paint it if another
color is desired.
IMPORTANT: In all cases, the line between the air vent and
the pod must be sloped back f/ inch per foot (20 mm per meter)
toward the pod. To prevent accumulation of water; do not allow
any "bellies" or low points in the vent piping. Keep the 2-in. vent
piping less than 20 ft (6 m) in total length.

installation manual for the electrical control panel that comes
with your system. These instructions ship with the control panel
and hang from a clip on the inside of the panel door.*
Step 10a: Make sure the instructions and the items supplied con-
form to state and local regulations.
Step 10b: A qualified and licensed electrician should install and
service the panel and ancillary wiring in compliance with the
National Electrical Code, as well as state and local codes. (Wir-
ing diagrams can be found in the installation manual* that comes
with the panel.) Wiring will include the following items:
a) Incoming power to the panel. One or more circuits may be
required, depending upon the number of pumps and local
electrical codes.
b) Incoming phone line to the panel (for VeriComm).
c) Wiring from the control panel to the pump and floats.
d) Wiring to a discharge pump and floats (if applicable).
NOTE: We do not recommend installing a control panel against
the wall of a bedroom, living room, or other living space because
it makes a periodic thump during operation. If it must be placed
near the house, mount it on 4 x 4 (100 x 100 mm) pressure -
treated post(s) next to the wall.

ernComm, Control;Panel functional Test
VeriComm® (VCOM) telemetry -enabled control panels are the
standard panels used with AdvanTex Treatment Systems (although
MVP control panels are available in some markets).
With a VeriComm telemetry -enabled control panel, fault condi-
tions are automatically reported to the VeriComm Monitoring
System, making the wastewater system virtually invisible to hom-
eowners. If fault conditions are not responded to, then local alarms
may be activated, as a back-up.
NOTE: Each Orenco control panel comes with panel -specific
information and instructions on wiring, timer settings, and oper-
ating instructions. For more detailed procedt.tres specific to each
panel model, refer to the documentation that conies with the
panel. *
Follow the procedures in this step to verify proper installation of
the VeriComm panel.
Step 11a: Familiarize yourself with the components of the
telemetry control board.
Step llb: Make sure the panel has been completely and correct-
ly installed, and verify that the circuit breakers are in the "On"
position. Also check the controller status. The "Power LED"
located on the control board will be:
• Blinking, which indicates the controller is operating normally, or
• Off (when power is applied), which indicates a possible problem with
the input fuse on the PC board;
the main fuse located inside the panel;
the controls circuit breaker located inside the panel; or
the incoming line voltage.
Step llc: To enable Test Mode, hold the "Push -To -Silence"
button on the front of the panel until the audible alarm sounds
(approximately 15 seconds).
• The appropriate digital input should be illuminated when the button is
held in.
• When the audible alarm sounds to indicate that the panel is in Test
Mode, release the button.
While in Test Mode, the panel will operate as described below:
• The call -in function is disabled;
• Local audible and visual alarms are activated as alarm conditions
occur;
• System Data Logs are suspended; and
• Timer cycles are shortened.
* If the instructions are missing or have been removed from the door pouch inside the con-
trol panel, call Orenco for a replacement or download a copy of the instructions from our
online Document Library at www.orenco.com.

Step lld: Familiarize yourself with the floats on the system.
Step lle: Verify that the pump is submerged in water before
continuing. If the bottom float drops, the alarm should sound.
Press down the spring -loaded "MAN/AUTO" switch located
inside the panel. The pump should immediately activate. For
verification, the appropriate digital input should illuminate, indi-
cating that the auxiliary contact is on.
Measure the voltage and amperage of the pump.
al Measure the voltage at the pump terminals in the panel. Measuring
the voltage with the pump off will confirm that the correct voltage is
connected. Then activate the pump by flipping the MAN/AUTO switch
to MAN, or using a PDA or laptop with the Bluetooth Device, and
measure the voltage while the pump is running. The maximum recom-
mended voltage drop is 3%. A low voltage condition may indicate that
the site wiring is improperly sized.
b) Using a loop ammeter, place the ammeter clamp around the loop of
wire located above the pump circuit breaker and read the amperage
while the pump is running and connected to the discharge assembly
with the valves at the end of the laterals closed. The amperage should
be within the specifications of the pump.
Step llf: Refer to the control panel documentation to test the
floats that activate/deactivate the pump. To perform the float
test, make sure there is enough liquid in the tank. If there isn't
enough liquid in the tank, turn the pump circuit breaker off.
NOTE: If phone service to the panel is active, complete step
II If not, proceed to step Il h. However; phone service should
be activated before system start-up.

Step .ilg: Press and release the "Push -To -Silence" button 15 times
within a one -minute period. This instructs the panel to call the
VeriCornm Monitoring System.
• A red LED ("Modem Activity" component) should illuminate, indicat-
ing that the controller has established communication with the host.
(This may take a few minutes.)
• Once the communication session has ended, the modem will auto-
matically disconnect.
• If the LED does not illuminate within the specified time, verify that the
phone line has a dial tone. This can be done by hooking up a phone
to the line that is going into the panel.
Step II ln: The panel will automatically disable Test Mode and
return to normal operation after 30 minutes. To disable Test Mode
manually, hold the "Push -To -Silence" button on the front of the
panel until the audible alarm sounds (approximately 15 seconds).
The appropriate digital input should be illuminated when the
"Push -To -Silence" button is held in. When the audible alarm
sounds to indicate that the panel is no longer in Test Mode, release
the button.

Once power is connected to the control panel, follow these steps
to prepare systems equipped with VCOM control panels for opera-
tion. For information on functional testing of systems equipped
with an MVP control panel, contact your Dealer or Orenco.
Step 12a: For Mode 1B and 3B installations, fill the pump basin
with water to a level just below the lowest float.
Step 12b: Verify both manual and automatic operation of the
recirculation pump. Before running the pump, ensure that the
tank's water level is at least 4 inches (102 mm) above the bottom
float, but below the top float. Be sure that you have temporarily
disconnected the manifold union. Hold the toggle switch in the
control panel on "Manual" to test manual operation of the pump
and clear any debris in the transport piping.
Step 12e: Reconnect and hand -tighten the manifold union. Verify
that all the lateral ball valves are open, and run the pump in the
"Manual" position for 5 or 10 seconds to flush any construction
debris out of the manifold piping. Completely close all lateral
valves after flushing is complete. With the pump still running man-
ually, remove several orifice shields and measure the squirt height
with a tape measure. The squirt height should measure approxi-
mately 3-5 ft (0.9-1.5 m). Windy conditions will cause the squirt
heights to measure less.
NOTE: If the desired squirt height is not achieved or the system
does not pressurize, check for debris, breaks, or closed valves. Also
verb that the pump is receiving sufficient cient power. If the system still
does not pressurize correctly, contact your Dealer or Orenco for
technical assistance.
Step 12d: For more accurate residual head measurements, attach
a piece of clear PVC to the end of the lateral. Record the residual
head measurement at start-up and before and after servicing.
Step 12e: Return the MAN/AUTO switch to "Automatic." To
facilitate quick testing of the automatic operation, put the panel
into Test Mode.
IMPORTANT Before using a generator
to operate a pump, contact Orenco or your
Dealer to make sure it can supply sufficient
starting amperage.

Step 12f: Make sure the tank is filled with clean water up to a
level about 1 inch (25 mm) above the RSV cage. At this point
the water level should be well above the bottom float. In the con-
trol panel, turn on the pump by holding the toggle switch in the
"Manual" position. As water begins running through the system,
ensure proper drainage through the. filtrate return line and RSV. All
or some of the return filtrate flowing to the RSV should be exiting
the system through the final discharge line. Check that no water is
leaking at any of the plumbing joints.

IMPORTANT When backfilling, be careful not to alter the
slope of pipes. Brace the pipes or place the pipes on a compacted
bed and carefully fill around them.
NOTE: Before backflling, make sure all pod and riser lids are
bolted down.
Step 13a: Backfill the tank excavation if you haven't done that
yet. Follow the tank manufacturer's guidelines for backfilling up
to the height of the tank.
Stepl3b: Backfill the discharge basin, if you haven't done that
yet. For installations in areas with high water tables or with non -
cohesive soils, follow guidelines in Appendix 4.
Step 13c: Backfill and compact around the AdvanTex pod in
maximum 12-in. (305-mm) lifts. Native material is acceptable if
there are no large or sharp rocks that may damage the filter walls.
If native material is not usable, backfill with sand or pea gravel.
For installations in non -cohesive soils* with high seasonal wa-
ter tables, use 1A" crushed rock as the backfill material.
Step 13d: Slope the ground away from the pod to prevent sur-
face water from ponding on or around the pod.
Step 13e: Make sure all lids are secured before leaving.
IMPORTANT After backf fling, call the system's Service
Provider to arrange for the official System Start-up.
* As described in OSHA Standards (29 CFR, Part 1926, Subpart P, Appendix A), noncohesive
soils or granular soils include gravel, sand, or silt with little or no clay content Granular
soil cannot be molded when moist and crumbles easily when dry. Cohesive soils include
clayey silt, sandy clay, silty clay, clay, and organic clay. Cohesive soil does not crumble,
can be excavated with vertical sideslopes, is hard to break up when dry, and when moist,
can be rolled into threads without crumbling. For example, if at least a 2-in. (51-mm) length
of 1/8-in. (3-mm) thread can be held on one end without tearing, the soil is cohesive.

/ Biotube pump vault
Orenco offers hole saws with pocket cutters in several sizes that
make cutting grommet holes simple and easy. These RKHS hole
saws cut away the ribs as the hole is cut, eliminating the need to
notch and break the riser ribs with an angle grinder and chisel*.
• RKHS 100 for 1-in. grommets
• RKHS 125 for 1 %-in. grommets
• RKHS 150 for 1 %-in. grommets
• RKHS200 for 2-in. grommets
Step 1: To install grommets in the field, first mark the riser for
location of the grommets. (For Perma-Loc risers, you should
try to avoid cutting through the pipe seam — the extra thick rib
— unless it is unavoidable.)
Step 2: Using the correctly -sized RKHS hole saw and a drill of
at least 18 volts, cut the hole and grind the ribs down until you
have a flat, smooth surface for installing your grommet. Do not
grind too deeply into the riser — about V16 inch is sufficient.
Step 3: Use a wire brush to clean up the cut, then a deburring
tool or knife to deburr the edges of the opening, being careful not
to enlarge the opening.

grommet dimensions and actual
pipe D.D., see Orenco's Grommet
Submittal (NSU-RLA-PG-1), avail-
able from the Document Library at
www.orenco.com.
Step 4: Install the grommet in the riser. Apply a bead of
ADH100 adhesive to the groove of the grommet prior to inser-
tion into the riser hole. This will make the grommet more secure
and will overcome any imperfections in the drilled hole.
If you don't have an Orenco RKHS hole saw and you have to use an angle grinder and chisel
to break the riser ribs, refer to Grommet Installation Instructions (N/N-RLA-G-1). This doc-
ument is included with the riser. You can also download it from the Document Library at

Appendix 3: RSV and Float Level Diagram
This diagram shows RSV and float levels for a system that uses a VeriComm Control Panel. With an MVP Control
Panel, a two -float configuration is used (the high water and override floats are combined), and therefore this top
combination float may be located 1-2 inches (25-51 mm) below the invert of the inlet.
This diagram shows both a Mode 1 and a Mode 3 setup. For Mode 1 setups, the recirculating splitter valve
(RSV) is installed in the second compartment, with the Biotube pump vault. For Mode 3 setups, the RSV is
installed in the first compartment, under the inlet riser.

For stinger pipe lengths up to 24 inches (610 min) long, the
"normal low operating liquid level" will be approximately 5-6 in.
(127-152 mm) below the top of the RSV cage. (The normal low
operating liquid level is the level at which 100% of the filtrate
returns to the tank.) For most residential applications, the rec-
ommended surge volume — the volume between the low liquid
level and the high water alarm float — is approximately 250 gal.
(948 L). For Mode 3 installations, the duckbill model RSV,
which has a flexible PVC tube that vents the RSV cage to atmo-
sphere, is required.

Be sure to check the plans for any site -specific or tank -specific
float settings. The top float is normally set equal with the tank's
invert of inlet. The bottom float should be approximately 4 inches
below the normal low operating level.
NOTE: Before leaving the site, verb that the "low water alarm/
redundant off" float is positioned at least 10 inches (254 mm)
below the top of the RSV cage.

Appendix 4: PBAX Pump Basin Installation
In AdvanTex® Treatment Systems, the Recirculating Splitter Valve (RSV) discharges treated effluent via gravity. If
the dispersal area requires the use of a pump, the RSV discharges to a PBAX Pump Basin. From there, a high -head
pump delivers it in doses to the drainfield.
Typically, the PBAX consists of a 24-in. (600-mm) pump basin equipped with a high -head pump, a float switch
assembly, a splice box, a discharge assembly, and a lid.

The PBAX Pump Basin is typically installed near the AdvanTex
system. For ease of installation, the excavation for the pump basin
can be connected to the excavation for the tank as shown in the
illustration, so that the bottom of the pump basin's hole is acces-
sible.
NOTE: If groundwater will rise above the bottom of the pump
basin at any time, you will need to set the pump basin in a concrete
collar to counteract its buoyancy. The collar should extend at least
6 inches (150 min) around the basin, and be at least 6 inches
(150 min) deep;

Step 3a: Dig the hole for the pump basin 4 inches (100 mm)
deeper than the height of the basin, and place a 4-in. (100-mm)
bed of compacted gravel in the bottom of the hole.
Step 3b: Place the pump basin in the hole and level the pump
basin. If the same excavation is being used for the pump basin as
the riser, make sure the top of the pump basin matches the level
of all of the other riser lids. If the pump basin is in a separate
excavation, set and level the pump basin appropriate for the final
grade.
Step 3c: Orient the grommet holes on the pump basin so as to
minimize the number of bends in the electrical conduit between
the control panel and the splice box. Partially backfill the hole to
support the basin while you're working on it.
Step 3d: If you are going to set the pump basin in a concrete
collar, set the basin on its gravel bed, mix a three -bag batch of
concrete, and pour it around the bottom of the basin. The con-
crete should extend 6 inches (150 mm) on all sides of the basin
to a depth of at least 6 inches. (150 min).
Step4_lnstnl/ the: Filtrate_Line,:
Step 4a: To mark the position of the inlet hole on the pump
basin, extend a piece of pipe or a straightedge from the outlet of
the RSV to the pump basin so that it slopes at least % inch per
foot (20 mm per meter, or a 2% slope). Mark the center of the
inlet hole on the pump basin, and install a 2-in. (50 mm) grom-
met. Apply a bead of ADH 100 adhesive to the 2-in. (50 mm)
grommet and install it in the hole. Lubricate the inside of the
grommet with pipe lube.
Step 4b: Push the end of the 2-in. (50-mm) filtrate line through
its grommet. It must extend far enough into the pump basin to
allow attachment of an elbow, but not so far that it interferes with
other components. Glue a downward -facing elbow to the end of
the filtrate line inside the pump basin. Glue the other end of the
line into the discharge coupling of the RSV tee.
Step 4c: Drill the appropriately sized hole for the line going to
the dispersal area, and install a grommet.

Step 5a: To adjust the height of the float switches, loosen the
screw on the float collar and slide the collar along the float tree. Do
not try to change the tether length.
Step 5b: Set the high level float even with the invert of the inlet
pipe. Set the "Pump On" float 2 inches (50 nun) below that. Set
the "Pump Off' float at a level that will produce the desired dose
volume for the drainfield. A 24-in. (600-mm) pump basin holds
1.88 gallons per inch of height (2.8 liters per centimeter). Make
sure that the "Pump Off' float is not below the pump's minimum
liquid level. Make sure that the floats do not interfere with other
components in the basin.
Step 5c: Install the float assembly in the bracket inside the basin.
Wrap the cords neatly and secure them to the splice box using the
hook -and -loop strip provided.
Step 6. lrnstell the'Pumpl and Discharge;Asserribly
Step 6a: Assemble the pump and discharge assembly using Teflon
paste or tape. Lower the pump into the flow inducer at the bottom
of the basin. Insert the nipple of the discharge assembly through
the grommeted hole for the line to the dispersal field.
NOTE: Instructions for installing conduit and wiring in the Exter-
nal Splice Box can be found in the External Splice Box Installation
Instructions (EIN-SBEX-1) * supplied with the splice box.
Step 6b: Lay the pipe for the line to the dispersal area in the trench
and connect it to the discharge nipple using external flex hose. Do
not bend the flex hose more than fifteen degrees. If local regula-
tions require it, install toning wire on this pipe before backfilling.
Step 6c: Make sure the pump basin's lid is securely screwed on
before you leave the site.

In response to your letter requesting additional information dated March 31, 2015.
Bateman Civil Survey Company, PA (BCSC) is submitting three copies of the requested
additional information.
Below is a brief history as it pertains to Mr. Herrera followed by your additional
information request and our responses. Specifically, we addressed the following items
listed below.
The house is currently located in a residential subdivision in northern Cumberland
County that was designed and approved in 1983. My client Mr. Herrera purchased the
house from the county on July 2nd 2014, Mr. Herrera purchased the house because it is
located close to his home and because it would make a nice home for his elderly parents.
He is planning to do_ some minor updating inside and outside the house. We have
attached some pictures of the house and the neighborhood. When Mr. Herrera contacted

to county to get the house in compliance he was told that the house had been condemned
and was scheduled for demolition because of a failing septic system with no option for
repair. The county has put a stay on the demolition pending the outcome of this permit
application.
There is a very high demand for affordable housing in this part of the state and country,
by approving the permit/system and allowing Mr. Herrera to use the space for his parents
we would be making good use of existing infrastructure, instead of demolishing an
existing house and make an existing lot unbuildable. We are proposing a repair system
that utilizes the top of the line package treatment system (AdvanTex) backed by a
national company Orenco Systems. The manufacturer requires that the owner of the
system hire a third party state certified system operator to inspect and operate the system
biannually for the life of the system. This insures that the system will function as design
over the life of the system.
1. The proposed wastewater treatment facility discharges to a drainage ditch that
flows into adjacent properties not under ownership of the applicant. Please
provide documentation to demonstrate that appropriate easements exist that
allow discharged wastewater to flow in the ditch for all property located before
discharging to the first natural stream.
There is a 20' drainage easement that runs the common back property lines in
phase one of this subdivision. I have attached the original plat for reference.
Since we were unable to show for certain that the easement continues all the way
to the first natural stream we are proposing to move our discharge point to the
northwest corner of the lot and discharge into the road ditch in the right of way,
which will allow us to reach the nearest natural stream without crossing any
adjoining private properties.
2. Please provide a 7QI0 flow estimate at the nearest natural stream (see attached
facility map) from the following contact with the US Geological Survey:
It is our understanding from previous permitting that a 7Q10 flow estimate is not
required for repair permits: We contend that this property meets the requirements
for a repair permit and is in line with previously approved applications by the
agency.

EXPLANATION OF SYSTEM OPERATION AND DESIGN
The wastewater disposal system recom vended for this site consists of a surface
disposal system for a 3-bedroom single-family home containing the following: an
existing 1,000 gallon septic tank ; a proposed 1000-gallon re -circulation tank equipped
with an AdvanTex re -circulating fixed media filter and controls; a UV disinfection unit; a
1000 gallon pump tank with controls to service a Zoeller M140 pump with final disposal
through a rip rap disposal pad. It should be kept in mind that this system is designed to
accommodate a moderate amount of wastewater from the household and that all measures
should be undertaken to minimize the volume of water entering the system to include the
following precautions:
1. Providing water conserving plumbing fixtures within the house;
2. Making rapid repairs to leaking plumbing fixtures;
3. Developing conservative water use habits on the part of all
members of the household;
4. Monitoring and maintaining the system as may be necessary for
proper operation;
5. Checking and pumping the septic tank sludge on a regular basis of
approximately every two years when garbage grinders are not
included; and
6. Insuring proper installation of this system by a competent
installation contractor.
The system as recommended is intended to provide satisfactory wastewater disposal for
the site for a reasonable period of time. Due to the rather complex inter -relationship
between soil properties, system installation, wastewater habit patterns of the household,
system maintenance, vegetative activity, climate and rainfall, and other factors over
which the Engineer has no control, yet which ultimately influence the successful
operation of a wastewater disposal system, the Engineer requires that he/she be relieved
of any liability that may result from failing or malfunctioning of this system of
wastewater disposal. The persons occupying this residence should be familiar with the
contents of the Engineer's recommendations. A conference should be held with the
Engineer and the installation contractor in attendance prior to beginning any actual
construction of the wastewater disposal system in order to answer any questions and
to ensure that the installation contractor will make no changes to the recommended
system without first obtaining written permission for such changes from the
Engineer. The contractor shall coordinate his work schedule with the Designer and
with representatives of the health department in order that appropriate and timely
inspections of the construction work can be made.

SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS
1. The existing wastewater piping system from the residence to the location of
the proposed septic tank shall be 4" diameter Schedule 40 PVC sewer pipe
laid at 1.0% minimum grade.
2. The existing septic tank is a 1,000 gallon, reinforced precast concrete septic
tank with full baffle, and shall be retrofitted with access risers to each
chamber from ground level for checking the sludge level and pumping as
needed and shall be retrofitted with an effluent filter. Wastewater piping from
the septic tank to the location of the proposed re -circulation tank shall be 4"
diameter Schedule 40 PVC sewer pipe laid at 1.0% minimum grade.
3. The proposed re -circulation tank shall be a 1,000 gallon, reinforced precast
concrete pump tank and shall have easy access to each end of the,tank from
ground level for maintenance of the pump, control floats and Orenco re-
circulating splitter valve provided by Orenco with the AdvanTex treatment
system. All piping shall be schedule 40 PVC and constructed as shown on
plan sheet 2 of 2.
4. Effluent will pass through the media filter and will collect in the bottom of the
media filter pod as shown on plan sheet 2 of 3 and will flow back to the
Orenco re -circulating splitter valve. The effluent will be split with a portion
flowing to the UV disinfection unit and a portion flowing back to the re-
circulation tank.
5. The media filter shall be constructed using materials provided by Orenco and
specified on plan sheet 2 of 2.
6. After leaving the pretreatment media filter the wastewater will flow by gravity
to a UV disinfection unit. After passing through the UV disinfection unit the
wastewater will flow by gravity to a 1000 gallon pump tank equipped with a
Zoeller M140 pump that will deliver 20 gallon doses to the rip rap disposal
pad for final dispersion.
7. The contractor shall smooth the disturbed land surfaces after installation of all
components of the wastewater treatment and disposal system have been
completed, and shall leave the surface neatly shaped to shed rainwater. All
disturbed areas and the discharge area shall be seeded with grass and covered
with straw.

RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE FOR SYSTEM MAINTENANCE,
1. The septic tank and recirculation tank should be checked periodically for sludge
accumulation and should be pumped out as needed with the sludge being disposed of
properly. Check yearly if garbage grinder is included within the wastewater system
(not recommended) or check every two years for systems without garbage grinders.
2. Review the owner's manual for the control panel and check control panel for normal
function during the weekly system inspection.
3. The discharge area should be protected from stormwater accumulation and from
excessive sprinkling of the lawn in the discharge area. Pipe downspout stormwater
away from the discharge area.
4. The development of conservative water use habits by all members of the household
will greatly enhance the life of this system.
5. Leaking plumbing fixtures should be corrected as soon as possible, or could result in
premature failure of the wastewater disposal system.
6. Check the bulb in UV unit monthly and replace annually.
7. The effluent filter at the outlet of the septic tank shall be checked and cleaned as
needed during all routine inspections, and at least twice yearly.
8. All rutted or eroded areas that -may occur within the area over the surface discharge
area shall be carefully filled with suitable loamy soil material.

MODEL 112 Control Panel
Single phase, simplex motor contactor control.
The Model 112 control panel provides a reliable means of controlling one 120,
208, or 240 VAC single phase pump in pump chambers, sump pump basins,
irrigation systems and lift stations. Two control switches activate a magnetic
motor contactor to turn the pump on and off. If an alarm condition occurs, an
additional alarm switch activates the audio/visual alarm system.

RE: NPDES Notice of Intent for
7846 Amesbury Road, Fayetteville, NC 28311
BCS Project #: 140370
Dear Mr. Weaver:
Phone: [phone]
Fax: [phone]
[e-mail]
Attached please find three copies of Notice of Intent application planned for a three bedroom
single family home to be located at 7846 Amesbury road in Cumberland County, N.C. The
package includes a completed Notice of Intent application for coverage under NCG550000 for
single-family domestic units and an agent authorization letter.
Bateman Civil Survey has been retained to design a repair system consisting of an septic tank,
and an Advantex Pretreatment system, with controls and splitter valve, a UV unit providing
secondary treatment and disinfection prior to final disposal, and final disposal is provided by
gravity flow from the UV unit to a rip -rap disposal pad. Details of the treatment system will be
submitted in the next two weeks.
The site consists of a 0.56 acre lot and does not meet the setbacks required for a spray or
surface drip system. The nearest municipal wastewater collection system is the City of
Fayetteville system. The closest connection is approximately 22,226 feet from the residence.
The cost to connect to the system is estimated to be a minimum of $1,600,000. This estimate
uses a cost to construct a gravity main for this distance of $60/foot and a cost for a pump
station of $300,000 (minimum).
