3 months ago they installed, inspected, and passed…
shop / garage with a full bath, 2 utility sinks, and a washer has a 750 gallon tank installed
750 gallon fixed film ATU – split tank 500 gallon aeration tank 250 gallon settlement tank
6 - 75’ leaching lines (the black plastic dome chamber)
Last week they installed…
4 bedroom 3.5 bath house (should be finished mid February) has a 2,000 gallon tank
The tanks from the shop and house flow into the ATU and then into the leaching field. 4 months ago the health department approved the engineered plans for the system. This morning the inspector came out to inspect the house tank and is now questioning the design.
I have a copy of the letter from the heath department stating that the plans passed with a written description of the system. I went down to health department and had the plans pulled for my system and they were not approved or denied. I did find out that the previous supervisor retired (the person I thought approved the system).
The current supervisor told me that they might require 2 more 50’ leaching lines but we should know on Tuesday after they have some meeting.
My perk test in 6/09 was 14 minutes per cubic inch. I have done a lot of reading and a bunch of searching and from what I’m reading my system is some what over sized as it is.
Am I missing something?
