I I Page 7f 7 `Ail other services, including but not limited to the servicing of effluent filter, mechanical or pressurized components, pretreatment units, and any servicing at intervals of 512 months,shall be performed by a certified POINTS Maintainer. A service report shall be provided to the Environmental Health and Labs Division of Public Health Madison and Danz County within 30 days of completion of any service event. .- START UP AND OPERATION For new construction, prior to use of the POWTS,check treatment tank(s)for the presence of painting products,solvent or other chemicals or sediment that may Impede the treatment process and/or damage the soil absorption cell(s). If high amounts of these materials are detected In the tanks,have the contents of the tank(s)removed by a septage servicing operator prior to use. -- System start up shall not occur when soil conditions are frozen at the Infiltrative surface. - During extended power outages-pump tanks may fill above normal high-water levels.When power is restored the excess wastewater will be discharged to the dispersal cell(s)in one large dose and may overload them resulting In the backup or surface discharge ofeffiuent.To avoid this situation have the contests of the pump tank removed by a Septage Servicing Operator prior to restoring power to-the effluent pump or contact a Plumber or POWTS Maintainer to assist in manually operating the pump controls to restore normal levels-within the pump tank. . 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 ' slope of any mound or at-grade soil absorption area. •- . - • Reduction or elimination of the following from the wastewaterstream May Improve the performance and prolong the life of the POWTS:antibiotics,"baby wipes,cigarette butts, condoms,cotton swabs, degreasers,dental floss,diapers, disinfectants,fat, foundation drain (sump pump)discharge,fruit and vegetable peelings, gasoline, greases, herbicides, meat scraps,medications,oils, painting products,pesticides, sanitary napkins, tampons,and water softener brine. - ABANDONMENT " When the POWTS fails andlor is permanently taken out of service the following steps shall be taken to Insure that the system is properly and safely abandoned in compliance with s_Comm 83.33,Wisconsin Administrative Code: ▪ All piping to tanks,pits and othersoll absorption systems--shall be disconnected and the abandoned pipe openings sealed. • • The contents of all tanks and pits Shall be removed and properly disposed of by a Saptage Serii'cing Operator(pumper). • After pumping,all tanks-and pits shall-be excavated and removed or their covers removed and the void space filled with soil, gravel or another inert solid material CONTINGENCY PLAN _ If the POWTS fails and cannot be repaired the following measures have been,or must be taken,to provide a code compliant replacement system: • ❑ A suitable replacement area has been evaluated and may be utilized for the location of a replacement soil absorption system.-The replacement area should be protected from disturbance and compaction and should not be infringed upon by required setbacks from,existing and proposed structure,lot lines and wells. Failure to protect the replacement area will result in the need.for a new soil and site evaluation to establish a suitable 1 replacement area. Replacement systems must comply with the rules in effect at the time of their permit issuance. ❑ A suitable replacement area Is not available due to setback and/or soil limitations, if the soil absorption-system cannot be rehabilitated and barring advances In POWTS technology,a holding tank may be installed as a last resort. ❑ The site has not been evaluated to identify@ suitable replacement area.Upon failure of the POWTS_a soil and site evaivatiorrmust be performed to locate a suitable replacement area.If no.replacemenk-area:ls available a holding lank may be Installed as a last resort to-replace the failed POINTS. ❑ Mound and at-grade soil absorption systems"may be reconstructed In place following removal of the biomat at the Infiltrative surface. Reconstructions of such systems must comply with the rules In-effect at that time. WARNING: TREATMENT TANKS AND HOLDING TANKS MAY CONTAIN POISONOUS GASSES AND LACK SUFFICIENT �nOXYGEN TO SUPPORT LIFE. NEVER ENTER A TREATMENT TANK OR HOLDING.TANK UNDER ANY � CIRCUMSTANCE.
