MCI Trucking and Excavation installed the system. The OWTS design is based on 2 -bedrooms + 3 future bedrooms for a total of 5 -bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 750 GPD was used. Only the 2 -bedroom residence was being constructed at the time of this design. The sewer line exiting the 2 -bedroom residence has a double -sweep clean out and a minimum 2% grade to the septic tank. The system installation included a 1500 -gallon, two-compartment concrete Valley Precast septic tank with an effluent filter on the outlet tee. This filter must be cleaned annually, or as needed. Effluent gravity flows to a distribution box, and then to six gravelless chamber trenches. The distribution box was accessible from grade and had flow equalizers installed on each outlet pipe in the distribution box to assure equal flow to each trench. Each trench consists of 15 `Quick 4' Standard Plus Infiltrator® chambers for a total of 1080 square feet of infiltrative area. There was at least 4 -feet of undisturbed soil between each trench. Inspection ports were installed at the beginning and end of each trench. Ports may be cut to grade and placed in sprinkler boxes for access. In order to protect the soil treatment area (STA) from potential upgradient drainage due to spring runoff, an interceptor trench drain was installed upgradient of the upper -most trench. The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee of workmanship and/or parts and materials. CBO Inc. 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, CBO Inc.

Don't: • Pour cooking grease or oil down the sink or toilet. • Rinse coffee grounds into the sink. • Pour household chemicals down the sink or flush them. Do: • Eliminate or limit the use of a garbage disposal. • Properly dispose of coffee grounds a food. • Put grease in a container to harden before discarding in the trash. Don't: • Flush non -degradable products or chemicals, such as feminine hygiene products, condoms, dental floss, diapers, cigarette butts, cat litter, paper towels, pharmaceuticals. Do: • Dispose of these items in the trash can! Don't: • Park or drive on your drainfield. The weight can damage the drain lines. • Plant trees or shrubs too close to your drainfield, roots can grow into your system and clog it. Do: • Consult a septic service professional to advise you of the proper distance for planting trees and shrubs, depending on your septic tank location. Don't • Concentrate your water use by using your dishwasher, shower, washing machine, and toilet at the same time. All that extra water can really strain your septic system. Do: • Stagger the use of water -generating appliances. This can be helpful especially if your system has not been pumped in a long time. • Become more water efficient by fixing plumbing leaks and consider installing bathroom and kitchen faucet aerators and water -efficient products.
