• <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 <br /> chemicals or sediment that may impede the treatment process-and/or-damage°the soil absorption system. -If-high concentrations are • <br /> detected have the contents of the tank(s)removed by a Septage Servicing Operator(pumper)prior to use. <br /> Pump tanks may fill above normal highwater levels prior to startup or duo to pump failures. Start up or restoration of power under these <br /> conditions isnot recommended.as-the excess wastewater will-be discharged.to-the soil-absorption system-In one large dose causing an <br /> overload that may result in the backup or surface discharge of effluent and damage to the system. To avoid this situation have the <br /> contents of the-pump-tank removed-by-a'Septage Servicing Operator(pumper)prior to restoring power to the pump or contact a Plumber <br /> or POWTS Maintainer to assist in manually operating the pump controls until normal effluent levels are restored within the pump tank. <br /> System start up shall not occur when soil conditions are frozen at the infiltrative surface. <br /> Do not drive or park vehicles over tanks or the soil absorption system. Do not drive or park over, or otherwise disturb or compact,the <br /> area within 15 feet down 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 treatment <br /> tanks and soil absorption system: acids,antibiotics,-baby wipes, cigarette butts, Condoms, cotton swabs,'degreasers,'dental floss,- <br /> diapers, disinfectants,fats, foundation drain(sump pump) discharge,fruit and vegetable peelings, gasoline, greases, herbicides,meat <br /> scraps medications,-oils,painting products,pesticides;sanitarynapkins;-sohrents;tampons,-and water-softenerbrine-discharge. <br /> ABANDONMENT , • <br /> When the POWTS fails and/or is permanently taken out of service the following steps shall be taken to insure that the system is properly <br /> and-safely abandoned in-compliance with s.Comi r83:33,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 filled with soil, <br /> gravel or another inert solid material. - - <br /> CONTINGENCY PLAN- <br /> If the POWTS fails and cannot.be repaired the following measures have been, or must be taken, to provide a code compliant <br /> replacement system: . <br /> ❑ A suitable.replacement area has been evaluated and may be utilized for the location of a replacement soil absorption system. <br /> The replacement area should be protected from disturbance and compaction and should not be infringed upon by required <br /> setbacks from existing and proposed structure,lot lines and wells. Failure to protect-he replacement area will result in the need <br /> for a new soil and site evaluation to establish a suitable replacement area. Replacement systems must comply with the rules in <br /> effect at the time of their permit Issuance. .- <br /> '1 A suitable replacement area is not available due to setback and/or soil limitations. If the soil absorption system cannot be <br /> rehabilitated and barring advances in POWTS technology,a holding tank may be installed asa last resort <br /> D The site has not been evaluated to identify a suitable replacement area. Upon failure of the POWTS a soil and site evaluation <br /> must beperfonned to locate a suitable replacement area. if no replacement area-Is-available a holding tank may be installed as a <br /> last resort to replace the failed POWTS. <br /> ❑ Mound and reconstructed in-place removal of the biomat at the infiltrative <br /> u d Reconstructions of s absorption <br /> ystem comply w in effect at that time. <br /> WARNING TREATMENT TANKS, PUMP TANKS, AND HOLDING TANKS MAY-CONTAIN POISONOUS GASSES OR LACK <br /> SUFFICIENT OXYGEN TO SUSTAIN LIFE.
