i f . " VIII. TART UP AND SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES Start-up. All electrical connections to the pump and alarm controls shall be made prior to occupancy of the dwelling prior to intial use of the POWTS. Only qualified professionals knowledgeable in the requirements of the state electrical code should be allowed to work on the electrical components of the POWTS. H. Shut-down. The electrical supply to the pump and controls shall be locked out whenever the system is shut down for maintenance or servicing of these components. Only qualified professionals knowledgeable in the requirements of the state electrical code should be allowed to work on the electrical components. Only a licensed master plumber knowledgeable in the requirements of the plumbing code shall be allowed to replace the pump or other components of a POWTS. IX. CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR COMPONENT FAILURE • • A. Septic Tank. Any structural failure resulting in cracks or leaks in the tank must be corrected by replacement of the septic tank component. Leaks in the joints between manhole risers or covers shall be repaired by replacing faulty seals with approved materials to make joints water-tight. B. Outlet Filter. The outlet filter shall be replaced or repeired when it is either no longer capable of preventing the discharge of particles larger than 1/8 inch or when it has become permanently degraded by clogging so as to interfere with the design flow out of the septic tank. C. Dosing chamber&Pump. The dosing chamber shall be replaced if any structural failure is found. Leaks in joints between manhole risers or covers shall be repaired by replacing faulty seals with approved materials to make joints water-tight. The pump and controls shall be replaced when they are no longer capable of functioning according to the design plan. D. Pressure Distribution Piping. Partial clogging of the distribution network may result in unduly long dosing cycles. The ends of the distribution laterals may be exposed and the threaded end caps removed. The piping can be disconnected on the outlet end of the pump. The distribution piping may then be backflushed to cleanse any accumulated matter from the piping. It is recommended that the dosing chamber then be pumped by a licensed septic waste hauler to remove the material'flushed from the piping. The end caps can then be replaced and the system can be put back into service. E. Soil Absorption Cell. The discharge-of sewage or wastewater to the ground surface is strictly prohibited due to the human health hazard created by the effluent. All failures created by surface discharge shall immediately be reported to Dane County Environmental Health. The pump shall then be immediately disconnected to prevent further discharge to the ground surface via the soil absorption cell. The existing septic tank and dosing chamber shall be used as a temporary holding tank until the necessary repairs to the soil absorption cell can be achieved. The replacement shall be initiated only after any necessary plan approvals have been obtained from the appropriate plan review authority and the required sanitary permit is obtained from Dane County Environmental Health. X. ABANDONMENT PROCEDURE A. Treatment Tank nad Dosing Chamber. When the treatment tank and dosing chamber are no longer a component of a POWTS,the contents of the tanks must be emptied by a properly licensed septic waste hauler in accordance with the requirements of WAC ch NR 113 or acts amendatory thereto. The cover of the tanks must then be removed or collapsed. The remaining voids must then be filled with native soil material. B. Soil dispersal or treatment cell. There are no mandatory actions for abandoning a soil dispersal or treatment cell. The vent or observation pipe may be removed,and the void left where the pipe was may be filled with native soil material.
