<br /> All other services, including but not limited to the servicing of effluent filters, mechanical or pressurized components, pretreatment units, and any
<br /> servicing at intervals of s12 months,shall be performed by a certified POWTS Maintainer.
<br /> A service report shall be provided to the Environmental Health and Labs Division of Public Health Madison and Dane County within 30 days of
<br /> completion of any service event
<br /> START UP AND OPERATION ,
<br /> For new construction,prior to use of the POWTS,check treatment tank(s)for the presence of painting products,solvents or other chemicals or sediment
<br /> that may impede the treatment process and/or damage the soil absorption cell(s).If high amounts of these materials are detected in the tanks,have the
<br /> contents of the tank(s)removed by a septage servicing operator prior to use.
<br /> System start up shall not occur when soil conditions are frozen at the infiltrative surface.
<br /> During extended power outages pump tanks may till above normal high water levels.When power is restored the excess wastewater will be discharged
<br /> to the dispersal ceil(s)In one large dose and may overload them resulting in the backup or surface discharge of effluent To avoid this situation have the
<br /> contests of the pump tank removed by a Septage Servicing Operator prior to restoring power to the effluent pump or contact a Plumber or POWTS
<br /> Maintainer to assist M manually operating the pump controls to restore normal levels within the pump tank.
<br /> Do not drive or park vehicles over tanks and dispersal cells.Do not drive or park over,or otherwise disturb or compact,the area within 15 feet down
<br /> slope of any mound or at-grade soil absorption area.
<br /> Reduction or elimination of the following from the wastewater stream may improve the performance and prolong the life of the POWTS:antibiotics,baby
<br /> wipes,cigarette butts,condoms,cotton swabs,degreasers,dental floss,diapers,disinfectants,fat,foundation drain(sump pump)discharge,fruit and
<br /> . vegetable peelings,gasoline,greases,herbicides,meat scraps,medications,oils,painting products,pesticides,sanitary napkins,tampons,and water
<br /> softener brine.
<br /> ABANDONMENT
<br /> When the POWTS faits and/or Is permanently taken out of service the following steps shall be taken to insure that the system is properly and safely
<br /> abandoned in compliance with s.Comm 83.33,Wisconsin Administrative Code:
<br /> • All piping to tanks,pits and other soil absorption systems shall be disconnected and the abandoned pipe openings sealed.
<br /> • The contents of all tanks and pits shall be removed and properly disposed of by a Septage Servicing Operator(pumper).
<br /> • After pumping,all tanks and pits shall be excavated and removed or their covers removed and the void space tilled with soil,gravel or another Inert
<br /> solid material.
<br /> CONTINGENCY PLAN
<br /> I e POWTS fails and cannot be repaired the following measures have been,or must be taken,to provide a code compliant replacement system:
<br /> A suitable replacement area has been evaluated and may be utilized for the location of a replacement soil absorption system.The replacement
<br /> area should be protected from disturbance and compaction and should not be infringed upon by required setbacks from existing and proposed
<br /> f
<br /> structure,lot lines and wells.Failure to protect the replacement area will result in the need for a new soil and site evaluation to establish a suitable
<br /> replacement area.Replacement systems must comply with the rules in effect at the time of their permit issuance.
<br /> ❑ A suitable replacement area is not available due to setback and/or soil limitations.if the soil absorption system cannot be rehabilitated and barring
<br /> advances in POWTS technology,a holding tank may be installed as a last resort.
<br /> ❑ The site has not been evaluated to identify a suitable replacement area.Upon failure of the POWTS a soil and site evaluation must be performed to
<br /> locate a suitable replacement area.if no replacement area is available a holding tank may be installed as a last resort to replace the failed POWTS.
<br /> ❑ Mound and at-grade soil absorption systems may be reconstructed In place following removal of the biomat at the infiltrative surface.
<br /> Reconstructions of such systems must comply with the rules In effect at that time.
<br /> WARNING: TREATMENT TANKS AND HOLDING TANKS MAY CONTAIN POISONOUS GASSES AND LACK SUFFICIENT
<br /> OXYGEN TO SUPPORT LiFE. NEVER ENTER A TREATMENT TANK OR HOLDING TANK UNDER ANY
<br /> CIRCUMSTANCE. DEATH MAY RESULT. ESCAPE OR RESCUE FROM THE INTERIOR OF A TANK IS VERY
<br /> A
<br /> DIFFICULT.
