Septic Tank & Dosing Siphon: a. Have the septic tank inspected by a professional at least once every two years. This professional inspection should include the following: i. Inspection for build-up of scum, floatables, and sludge; ii. Identification of leaks; iii. Pumping of the septic tank. b. Make note of the scum and sludge layer elevations in the Owner's Operation and Maintenance records. c. Only sanitary waste should be disposed of in toilets. Properly dispose of household hazardous wastes — do not put down sinks or toilets, as household chemicals (paints, pesticides, etc.) can stress the biological treatment occurring in the OWTS. 2. Drain field: a. Adequately care for the drain field. b. Trees and shrubs should not be planted on or near the drain field, as roots may clog and damage the field. c. No vehicles shall be permitted to drive or park on or near the drain field. d. Keep drainage and runoff away from the drain field. Have a professional inspect the drain field and components at least once every two years. This inspection should consist of inspection of the laterals and confirming that the drain field is adequately loaded across each bed. 6 Basis of Design Memorandum 3-3 Bair Residence OWTS January 2020 Appendix A Geotechnical Evaluation 6 Process Design Report Appendix A Bair Residence OWTS January 2020 Appendix B OWTS Design Drawings 6 Process Design Report Appendix B Bair Residence OWTS January 2020 Appendix C Septic Tank Calculations 6 Process Design Report Appendix C Garfield County Dept. of Public Health OWTS Checklist Design Calculations PROJECT: Chad Bair Residence OWTS SGM NO.: 2019-466.001 DATE: 1/16/20120 PREPARED BY: Brandyn Bair, PE PURPOSE: Design calculations for the sizing of septic system tank.

These chambers may only be installed according to state and local regu- lations. If unsure of the installation requirements, contact your state or local regulators. Like conventional systems, the soil and site conditions must be approved prior to installation. Be sure that a thorough site evaluation is conducted to determine the proper slze and location of the system before proceeding with the installation. Materials and Equipment Needed o Quick4 Chambers o Shovel and Rake ❑ MultiPort End Caps o Backhoe/Bulldozer ❑ 4 -inch PVC Pipe and Couplings o Laser, Transit, or Level o Tape Measure o Utility Knife o Hole Saw/Router Bit* ❑ D -Box" * Optional These guidelines for construction machinery must be followed during installation: o Avoid direct contact with chambers when using construction equipment. Chambers require a 12 -inch minimum of compacted cover to support a wheel load rating of 16,000 lbs/axle or equivalent to an H-10 AASHTO load rating. o Only drive across the bed when necessary. Never drive down the length of the bed system. o Prior to compaction and during backfill, only use tracked vehicles. Always keep 6 inches of soil between tracks and chambers. TYPICAL BED SYSTEM (plan view) CHAMBER SPACING PER CODE 34 QUICK4 CHAMBER SEPTIC TANK REAR (LOOP) MANIFOLD (OPTIONAL) QUICK4 MULTIPORTJ END CAPS (TYP.) LENGTH VARIES PER DESIGN D -BOX Excavating and Preparing the Site Note: It is not recommended to install systems in wet condi- tions or in overly moist soils, as this causes machinery to smear the soil interface which can affect system performance. 1. Stake out the location of the bed and set the elevations of the tanks, pump chamber (if required), pre-treatment devices (if required), piping, and bed bottom. Install sedimentation and erosion control barriers as necessary. Page 2 2. Excavate and level the designated area. Be sure to excavate at least one extra foot around perimeter to allow for proper fit and ease installation. 3. If required, be sure to dig through any restrictive layer to the more suitable soils. Remove any debris from the bed walls. Prepare the chamber bed's sub grade soil as outlined in the designer's plans. 4. Rake the bottom and sides if smearing has occurred while excavating. Verify the bottom of the bed is level using a tran- sit, laser or level. Preparing the End Caps 1. With a utility knife start the tear -out seal at the appropri- ate diameter for the inlet pipe. The seal allows for a tight fit for 3 -inch, 4 -inch SDR35 and 4 -inch SCH40 pipe. A 2 -inch line can be installed by using an appropriately sized hole saw to cut an opening in the end cap. Note: Pipe size may vary according to state/county regulations or designer specifications. 2. Pull the tab on the tear -out seal to create an opening on the end cap. 3. Snap off the molded splash plate located on the bottom front of the end cap. 4. Install splash plate into the appropriate slots below the inlet to prevent trench bottom erosion. 5. Construct a manifold to inlet each row of chambers. A d -box may be used if required by code or designer preference. Note: It is sometimes easier to install the chamber bed before constructing the manifold. If installing the chambers first in a gravity fed system, it is critical to ensure there is proper fall from the tank to accommodate a manifold. Start tear -out seal. Pull tab on tear -out seal. Install splash plate. 6. Once piping network is complete, insert pipe into the end cap at the beginning of each row of the bed. 7. Attach a closed end cap onto the outlet end of the chamber. Do not create an opening on the closed or outlet end cap. Installing the Quick4 Chambers 1. Construct the chamber bed by joining chambers. Place the inlet end of the first cham- ber over the back edge of the end cap. 2. Lift and place the end of the next chamber on to the previous chamber by hold- ing it at a 90 -degree angle. Line up the chamber end between the connector hook and locking pin at the top of the first chamber. Lower to the ground to connect the chambers. Note: When the chamber end is placed between the connector hook and locking pin at a 90 -degree angle, the pin will be visible from the back side of the chamber. Note: The connector hook serves as a guide to ensure proper connection and does not add structural integrity to the chamber joint. Broken hooks will not affect the structure nor void the warranty. 3. Continue connecting the chambers until the first row is completed. 4. Check the first row of chambers to be sure that it is level. 5. Continue connecting chambers until the bed is complete. As the chambers are installed, verify that they are level, straight and maintain the required separation distance between each row of chambers. Place first chamber onto end cap. Connect the chambers. Note: Separation distance between chamber rows varies per code. Infiltrator recommends 0-6" spacing for bed systems. Note: After installing chambers edge to edge or with up to 6" of spacing, it is important to properly backfill per current installa- tion instructions so as to not compromise the integrity of the product. 6. The last chamber in the row requires an end cap. Lift the end cap at a 45 -degree angle and insert the connec- tor hook through the opening on the top of the end cap. Applying firm pressure, lower the end cap to the ground to snap it into place. Do not remove the tear out seal if ends are not to be connected. Repeat this step for each row in the bed. Attach end cap to chamber. Note: Looping the outlet end of the bed may be required by state/local code or specified by design. Infiltrator Systems recommends creating a hole in the end cap at the specified invert height. 7. Insert the loop manifold through the end cap and determine that the manifold is level before backfilling. 8. To ensure structural stability, fill the sidewall area by pulling soil in from the sides of the bed with a shovel or by placing fill material with a backhoe or excavator bucket. 9. Continue to carefully anchor chambers by ladling fill material between the chamber rows making sure not to dislodge the units. Be sure the fill extends above the louvers a minimum of two inches. Note: Only drive over the system with a tracked vehicle. Note: Do not to drive over the chambers until a minimum of 12" of fill is placed above the chambers. For rows not accessi- ble from the edge of the bed, wait until a majority of the cham- bers are covered with 6" of fill before stabilizing middle rows (for tracked vehicles only). 10. Pack down the fill by walking along the sidewalls of the chambers as this helps to give better structural support. In wet conditions, silty or clay soils, do not walk in the sidewalls. Covering the System Before backfilling, the system must be inspected by a health official or as state and local codes require. 1. Backfill the chamber sys- tem by pushing or ladling the fill material onto the units with a backhoe or bulldozer. Be sure to avoid having large rocks in backfill. Note: For large bed systems that cannot be filled from the sides, use a light tracked vehicle making sure to main- tain a minimum of cover of 6" between the chambers Ladle the fill. and tracks at all times. 2. Do not drive wheeled vehicles applying cover material. Note: If allowed by code, chambers can be installed with a minimum of 6 inches of cover using light tracked vehicles. A maximum of 4 feet of cover is allowed for bed systems. 3. Leave several inches of soil above the required amount for settling and to divert runoff water from the system. 4. After the system is covered, the site should be seeded or sodded to prevent erosion. across the system when TYPICAL STANDARD BED SYSTEM (side view) 4' MAX.
