<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 512 months, shall be performed by a certified POINTS 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 arty service event.
<br /> START UP AND OPERATION
<br /> For Hurl construction, prior to use of the POWTS,check treatment tanks)for the presence of painting products,solvents or other chemicals or sediment
<br /> that may Impede the treatment process and/or damage the sail 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 fill above normal high•water levels.When power is restored the excess wastewater will be discharged
<br /> to the dispersal cell(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 POINTS
<br /> Maintainer to assist in 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 PO'/VTS:.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, herbfcfdes, meat scraps,"medications, oils, painting products, pesticides,sanitary napkins, tampons,and water
<br /> softener brine.
<br /> ABANDONMENT
<br /> When the POWTS fails andfor 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 athersoil absorption systems shall be disconnected and the abandoned pipe openings seated. •
<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 shalt be excavated and removed or their covers removed and the void space filled with soil, gravel or another inert
<br /> solid material.
<br /> CONTINGENCY PLAN
<br /> If the POINTS fails and cannot be repaired the following measures have been,or must be taken,to provide a code compliant replacement system:
<br /> El A suitable replacement area has been evaluated and may be utilized.for the location of a replacement sail 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 /> structure,lot lines and wells. Failure to protect the replacement area will result in the need.for a new soil arid 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 maybe installed as a last resort.
<br /> ❑ The site has riot been evaluated to IdenfiVa 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 installed as a last resort to replace the failed POINTS.
<br /> El Mound and at-grade soil absorption systems may be reconstrucEed 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 /> n OXYGEN TO SUPPORT LIFE. NEVER' ENTER A.TREATMENT TANK OR HOLDING TANK UNDER ANY
<br /> • ,1 CIRCUMSTANCE. DEATH MAY RESULT. ESCAPE OR RESCUE FROM THE INTERIOR OF A TANK IS VERY
<br /> DIFFICULT.
