Only <br /> effluent flows from the tanks to three commercial AdvanTex' Treatment <br /> Systems that use a total of 14 AX100 units. Following secondary treatment, <br /> the effluent undergoes UV disinfection and is discharged to Federal Creek <br /> or Zarley Run under an NPDES discharge permit. Two of the treatment <br /> systems discharge their effluent to the streams via the storm sewer system. <br /> All the systems were installed by TAM Construction (Lancaster, Ohio). <br /> The community selected a management approach that followed the EPA's <br /> Level 5 RME (Responsible Management Entity) guidelines, with the Village <br /> owning and operating the infrastructure. Amesville is now the first village <br /> in Ohio to use a publicly owned and operated decentralized wastewater <br /> system. Amesville also received Ohio EPA's first single discharge permit <br /> for multiple small treatment systems with independent discharge outfalls. <br /> With minimal operator input, the AdvanTex treatment process consistently <br /> meets or exceeds the permit limits. <br /> For information about Prelos m Sewer, <br /> AdvanTex®Wastewater Treatment,or Orenco <br /> Controls',contact Orenco Systems®,Inc. <br /> Orenco <br /> W A <br /> 800-348-9843 • +1 541-459-4449 <br /> Data used by Orenco to derive the representations and conclusions contained within this Case Study were current www.orenco.com <br /> as of October 2009. <br /> NCS-6 Orenco Systems'•800-348-9843•+1 541-459-4449•www.orenco.com <br /> Rev.3©03/21 <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br />
