<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. NEVER ENTER ANY TANK UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. DEATH MAY
<br /> .,---_ RESULT. ESCAPE OR RESCUE FROM THE INTERIOR OF A TANKMAY NOT BE-POSSIBLE
