' ;'_ <br /> Dear Mr, Reynolds, <br /> This is in response to a request from the Society of St. Pius X to provide information about the existing private <br /> sewage system serving the premises referenced above. <br /> The existing private sewage system consists of a holding tank with a 19,000 gallon capacity. The system was <br /> originally sized for a school having 8 classrooms and 10 full time staff The sizing criteria presumes 20 <br /> students per classroom. The holding tank capacity is based on an estimated daily wastewater load of 3,800 <br /> gallons and a 5 day total capacity. (3,800 x 5= 19,000) <br /> The holding tank system includes an alarm which signals when the tank needs to be pumped. The alarm is set <br /> so there is at least one day's capacity left before any back-up or surface discharge would occur. <br /> A holding tank system is not as sensitive to large wastewater discharges as a typical soil absorption system <br /> would be. Events that generate large quantities of wastewater in a building served by a holding tank merely <br /> mean that the holding tank needs to be serviced by a septic waste hauler more frequently.. <br /> The existing holding tank has a rather substantial capacity. Therefore this office is not concerned that events <br /> such as wedding receptions,funeral receptions or other similar events will challenge the system's capacity. As <br /> with all holding tank systems,the proper disposal of the holding tank contents by a properly licensed septic <br /> waste hauler when the tank capacity is reached is the major public health concern. We are confident that the <br /> Society can be relied on to comply with this requirement. James Ubersetzig and I have discussed the fact that <br /> they will need to file a copy of their servicing contract with this office when they take possession of the <br /> property. <br /> If you have any questions,please feel free to call me at 242-6515. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> /James P.Clark,R.S.,Director <br /> Environmental Health Section <br /> 1202 Northport Drive,Madison,Wisconsin 53704 • (608)242-6515 • FAX(608)242-6256 0 <br />
