SAND FILTEH C,A~PING FILL SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION DETAIL SHEET <br /> <br />January 25, 1994 <br /> <br />APPLICANT= <br />SITE NUMBER= <br /> <br />CARLO ELLIS <br />94-295 <br /> SUBSTANDAi~D SAND FILTER-CAPPING FILL P~EPAIR <br /> <br /> Your site has been found suitable for a SAND FILTER ALTERNATIVE SEWAGE <br />DISPOSAL SYSTEM. The following Construction specifications shall apply to the <br />installation of your septic system. <br /> <br />The septic tank shall have a minimum liquid capacity of 1000 <br />gallons. <br /> <br />The projected daily sewage flow for this project is calculated at <br />450 gallq~s per day. Based on soil conditions observed on this <br />site, the disposal field will be sized at 50 ~ineal feet per 150 <br />~allons of projected daily sewage flow. A minimum of 1S0 lineal <br />feet of disposal field will be required for your proposed develop- <br />ment. The disposal trenches are constructed two (2) feet wide and <br />on minimum ten (10) foot centers and with no line exceeding 125 <br />feet in length. The trenches and perforated pipe are installed <br />level (±1") and contoured to follow the natural ground surface. <br /> <br />The disposal field shall be constructed with equ.al distribution <br />with a minimum trench depth of 12 inches and a maximum trench <br />depth of 12 inches. There must be at least 16 inches of backfill <br />over the top of the gravel, measured from the natural ground <br />surface. <br /> <br />The sand filter system shall be designed and operated as per OAR <br />340-71-290 through 340-71-305. Detailed plans for the system must <br />be submitted prior to permit issuance. A building permit is <br />required if a site built consrete box is used as the sand filter <br />container. A pamphlet is available in our office which details the <br />requirements for a sand filter system. <br /> <br /> A capping fill is required with this system. The system shall be <br />constructed as indicated on the attached Capping Fill construction detail <br />sheet. Construct%on is limited to the dry soil summer season. <br /> <br /> This approval is site specific to the area tested and the septic system <br />must be located in the immediate area of the test pits unless otherwise autho- <br />rized by this office. A new site evaluation may be required if the system is <br />proposed for a different area on the property. <br /> <br />SFECIAL CONDITIONS: <br /> Construct the shallow capping fill drainfield within the immediate area <br /> of the soil test pits. A shallow tile de-watering might benefit the <br /> drainfield if an outlet point can be established. The installation is <br /> substandard because a high seasonal water table can be expected within <br /> the drainfield area at or very near the soil surface. The sand filter <br /> base must be elevated to achieve the 12 inches minimum separation <br /> difference required between the collector-drain outlet invert and the <br /> top of the drainfield drainrock. The existing septic system must be <br /> abandoned at the earliest opportunity, we will consider connecting the <br /> larger manufactured home into the existing system on an interim basis <br /> only with a written commitment from the owner to construct the necessary <br /> sand filter-capping fill repair system during the coming summer season. <br /> Use filter fabric to cover the drainrock in the drainline trenches. <br /> <br />THIS iS NOT A PE~,MIT TO INSTALL THE SEPTIC SYSTEM. DO NOT INSTALL THE SYSTEM <br />UNTIL A VALID PEP, MIT HAS BEEN ISSUED BY THIS OFFICE. <br /> <br /> <br />
