System Design Description The septic system consists of holding/dosing tanks, 2 dosing pumps with controller, 1 MicroSeptec unit and a filter bed with 100 percent reserve area. The waste water from the restrooms will gravity flow to the holding/dosing tanks. The holding/dosing tanks provide a large surge chamber for peak system flows. A pump will be installed in each dosing tank, which will direct flow to the MicroSeptec unit. Each dosing pump will be controlled by a timer, which will be used to provide a uniform flow to the MicroSeptec unit integrated over a 24 hour period. One dosing pump will be installed with a low level cut out float, a high level pump override float and a high level alarm float. The dosing pumps will be controlled by a timer to provide power to the pumps for(x)number of minutes per hour. In the event that the timer is not set properly and the flow exceeds the pumping rate then the level will increase in the dosing tank until the override float activates to operate the pumps to reduce the level in the dosing tanks until the low level cut out switch stops the pump operation. In the event that the system inflow exceeds the system capacity or a pump float failure occurs then the high level alarm float will sound audible and visible alarms. This alarm will continue until silenced and then the cause of the alarm can be determined and repaired. Each dosing pump will be set on the bottom of each dosing tank and will be connected to the dosing tank riser with a 2 inch pipe and true union at the point where the effluent pipe passes through the cement riser, this will permit easy removal of the dosing pump by simply disconnecting the electrical connections at the lid, disconnecting the true union and lifting the dosing pump and ` discharge pipe directly out through the lid. Electrical connections designed for use in wet environment will be utilized for all electrical connections in the dosing tank riser. The effluent from each dosing tank will be pumped through 2 inch PVC piping which will be field routed directly to the first chamber of the McroSeptec unit. One MicroSeptec ES25 (2500 gallons per day)will be used to process the estimated daily system flow of 1700 gallons per day. The effluent from the MicroSeptec unit following processing will be pumped to the filter bed using the effluent pump. At the outlet of the MicroSeptec unit a flow meter will be installed, which will be a totalizing flow meter and allow recording of the waste water volume processed by the MicroSeptec unit. This will be recorded at each system effluent sampling, which will be conducted quarterly. Each of the system components are discussed as follows: Dosing Tank The purpose of the two dosing tanks is to provide a place for acceptance of the waste from the restrooms and to mount(dosing)pumps and the pump control floats. The dosing tank is a 1900 gallon pre-cast septic tank without the lower baffle. The size of the #A, tank is approximately 7 feet 6 inches wide, 13 feet long and 6 feet 9 '/x inches deep. The pumps are placed in the dosing tank through access lids, which are approximately
