Jason,
Project No. C1143
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS)
on August 19 and 26, 2015 for the subject property. Owners of the property and Kirk Blue installed the
system.
The existing septic tanks and STA were abandoned in place.
The new system installation included a 2000 -gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank followed by a
1250 -gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank with an Orenco® pumping system. A PF3005 pump
was installed and floats set to deliver approximately 95 gallons per dose. The filter in the pump
chambers must be cleaned annually, or as needed.
Effluent is dosed through a 1.5 -inch diameter Schedule 40 pump line to an automatic distributing valve
(ADV), Model 6402A. The ADV was placed at a high point. The 1.5 -inch diameter pump line had a
minimum grade of 1% for proper drain back into the septic tank.
Effluent is distributed to two gravelless chamber beds via 1.5 -inch diameter Schedule 40 pipes to level,
1.5 -inch diameter manifolds. Each bed consists of four rows of eleven ARC ADS chambers with 1.25 -
inch diameter laterals hung with zip ties to the underside of the chambers. Both beds were installed
approximately 6 -inches below native grade with proper backfill depth covering the chambers with at least
1 -foot of backfill material. The 1.25 -inch diameter laterals have 1/8 -inch diameter orifice holes facing up
(with the first and last holes facing down for drainage), 3 -feet on center. Each lateral ends in a 90 degree
sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing in a valve box, accessible from grade. Inspection
ports were installed on each corner of the bed. Both flushing valves and inspection ports may be cut to
grade and covered with a valve box for access.
The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee of
workmanship and/or parts and materials. ALL SERVICE septic, LLC should be notified if changes are
made to the OWTS in the future. Any additional OWTS construction must be according to the county
regulations.
LIMITS:
Observations are limited to components that are visible at the time of the inspection. The installer must
have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the county in
which they are working. The quality of the installation is dependent of the expertise of the installer, soil
type, and weather conditions.
Please call with questions.
Sincerely,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC
