K Grindstone Joe Association <br /> S Plan Check Review Comments <br /> .N San Joaquin County <br /> inc. May 29,2020 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br /> Please see attached, revised, calculations. Occupancy totals have been confirmed to be consistent with <br /> the previously provided site Usage Schedule as submitted with our April 3, 2019 response to the <br /> CO0048503. Included in the calculations are typical event and event occupancy calendars,and attendee <br /> data based on 2019 calendar year. Key points of clarification here are: <br /> 1) The peak day event is a short duration, low frequency, event. Peak Day occupancy occurs <br /> approximately once per year for an annual event that is estimated to occur for approximately 6 <br /> hours, with water usage estimated at 20 gaUcapita/day, adjusted to the 6-hour time period. This <br /> equates to 425 gallons of wastewater produced for the event. The wastewater generated from this <br /> event is not used for as the basis of holding tank capacity calculations. <br /> 2) Holding tank capacity is based on peak weekflows.Peak week calculations are based on weeks when <br /> member events take place. Daily occupancy was calculated by taking the maximum occupancy of <br /> any consecutive 7-day period and dividing this by 7 days to find the equivalent daily occupancy. <br /> 3) Overnight water usage is expected to be higher than daytime water usage to account for use of toilets <br /> and showers, however because most members have their own facilities on their boats, overnight <br /> usage is assumed to be 25%of the total daily flow. <br /> 3. KSN proposed a 5,000-gallon holding tank. Section 10.4 of the OWTS Standards requires: <br /> The liquid holding capacity shall be a minimum of seven (7) days of peak wastewater flow <br /> generation with a one-hundred(100)percent reserve capacity. <br /> Even if EHD accepts the 3,750 gallons for 7x Peak Week Demand(see above Item#1),the proposed 5,000 <br /> gallons capacity does not meet the required 7-day flow plus 100%reserve,which would be 7,500 gallons. <br /> Please provide additional information or revision that will meet this requirement. <br /> Please see revised calculations. Peak week flows require a capacity of 2275 gallons. With a reserve <br /> capacity of 100% the total required tank volume is 4550 gallons. In the unlikely case that the peak day <br /> flow occurred concurrently with the peak week flow this would add an additional 425 gallons,for a total <br /> of 4975 gallons,still within the 5000-gallon tank capacity. <br /> 4. The Service Agreement with Advanced Septic Service,LLC dated October 31,2019 scheduled pumping <br /> frequency quarterly(April 1,June 1,August 1, October 1). However,the Plan cited 13 days between <br /> "Time to Pump"Pumping Events(see KSN Water System Calculation). Under Section 10.5: <br /> The system must be operated to prevent sewage overflow from the system at all times. <br /> And Section 10.8.5 <br /> The pumping frequency required to maintain the system at a level below the alarm set point <br /> Please provide additional information and relevant document that will meet these requirements. <br /> Pumping will be provided on a quarterly basis at minimum. The hauling contract has been revised to <br /> include a clause that allows for pumping to occur on an as-needed basis when Association Staff call for <br /> service. Please see attached <br /> 5. Cut-sheet for the proposed alarm(Orenco 120 VAC Liquid Level Alarm Panels)has been provided, but <br /> there is no discussion how the alarm is to be set up. Section 10.5 of OWTS Standards requires: <br /> Both Audible and visual alarms are required <br /> 10.5.1 The alarms must be set to signal at the "time-to-pump"and"exceeding reserve storage <br /> volume "levels <br /> 10.5.2 The audible and visual alarms must be located in an area 6that can be readily seen and <br /> heard, with battery power where electrical power is not available. <br /> rl <br />
