ATTACHMENT 5 <br /> LEACHLINES AND SEEPAGE PITSthe g <br /> Two leachlines will serve as a secondary disposal field,and based uPo6 inch diameter seepage pit, <br /> Each leachline will be 40 feet long. At the end of each line will be 2 148 ft'-)=776 ft2. <br /> lb feet deep. Total application area= 2 ft.+2 ft+ x 2ft X 320 +2(113 ft')= 5463=4,084 gals <br /> Total temporary storage volume=2 ft x 2 ft x 40 ft ; <br /> SEPTIC SYSTEM OPERATION <br /> The septic system for the proposed facility is designed to operabuilding,s follows:and wash water influent from <br /> Kitchen water from both the existing building and the newg <br /> clean-up of kettles,utensils,etc.plus floor drains will flow into the grease trap. Effluent from the <br /> grease trap will gravity to the secondary tank- <br /> All blackwater from toilets and graywater from sinks from both buildings v ill flow into the 2,000 <br /> gallon primary tank. The majority.of digestion_and paper accumulation will occur in this`tank. <br /> dary tank' The second compartment <br /> Effluent from this tank will gravity to the 1,200 gallon secon <br /> of this tank will have a dual pump system with a filter vault and an alarm system. The effluent <br /> this tank will be pumped to a hydrosplitter®valve that will split the effluent flow equally -. <br /> from its• The filter bed should be considered as <br /> between the chambers, and the leachlines and seepage p <br /> the primary disposal area. <br /> Effluent pumped to the leachlines and seepage pits will of course,be under pressure. <br /> sorthe <br /> Effl p P <br /> must first come into a settling tank. The approximate volume per dose will be gallons, <br /> tank should be a minimum of 250 gallons in volume. Ftween the two leachlines ardm this tank,the effluent lseepage pits. <br /> distribution box/flow director to split the flow evenly be <br /> V. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> Paramount to every issue regarding the septic system for this project,is td ino kitchen area waterthat <br /> usage be kept to an absolute minimum. Running water must not be alio <br /> Clean-up, including floor washing must be at a minimum. Low flow volumeaterilets anspring- <br /> the <br /> loaded sink faucets must be used in the restrooms. Not only will minim usage <br /> alloentire septic system to function as intended,but decreased water usage will alleviate nitrate <br /> loading. A water meter will be installed for this facility, so an accurate fresh of ter usage <br /> can be kept. However,with the Chocoholics facility,not all incoming <br /> ng of "low- <br /> be septic system effluent water. A percentage of fresh water will on d the <br /> ently,water <br /> fat" chocolate and a percentage will be used.for landscaping irrigation, 1, <br /> usage accounting will be important �y <br /> The nitrate loading calculations illustrate that the anticipated number of people on the property will <br /> contribute approximately 67% of the MCL for nitrate from the effluent recharge. <br /> E r <br /> r'�ioenver firrr_srt�titt� <br /> I <br />
