Witnessed By: Ernie Mathieu, Northampton Comments: _ DEP APPROVED FORM - 12/07/95 CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS 408 Westhampton Road Northampton Title 5 Septic System Plan Number 467 General t. No work on this system construction shall take place until a permit for the approved system plan has been received from the local Board of Health. A copy of the Disposal Works Construction Permit should be on site for inspection during the time of construction. Additional specifications may be included elsewhere in this design. Loading requirements are specified for the septic tank on the system calculations page. Loading requirements for any other component are on the drawing. Normal loading systems are designated 1-1-10. If H-20 rating is specified on the drawing and/or on the page for system calculations,the tank or leaching facility shall be custom built to meet the increased loading requirements using additional rebar, greater wall thickness and/or other approved methods. Follow the manufacturer's rating system and installation procedures. Alternatives to these specifications should be discussed with the System Designer in advance at 800 285-4533. Septic Tank The septic tank selected by the contractor shall conform with 310 CMR 15 223 The septic tank shall be a minimum effective liquid capacity of 1,500 gallons below the outlet invert,rectangular,and with a minimum length to width ration of 1.5:1. Liquid depth to be 48". Compartmentalized tanks are not to be used unless required as stated on the plan drawing. Septic tank shall be installed on a minimum of 6" of crushed stone,leveled to grade and thoroughly compacted. Septic tanks shall have a minimum cover of 9".No structures shall be located directly upon or above the septic tank access locations which interfere with performance,access, inspection, pumping, or repair. All three access covers to the septic tank shall have risers at least 20"diameter,if round,tightly fitted to the tank to resist water infiltration,and terninated with a tight fitting cover no more than 6" below ground surface. If, with the agreement of the Owner, one or more of the risers are terminated flush with ground, these shall be secured against unauthorized entry with stainless steel hardware. 1. Inlet and outlet tees shall be of Schedule 40 PVC and shall extend a minimum of 6"above the flow line of the septic tank and be on the center line of the septic tank located directly under the clean-out manhole. All fittings to be glued and secured against any movement due to horizontal or vertical impacts. Cross-sectional flow baffles shall not be used as substitutes for inlet or outlet tees. The inlet pipe elevation shall be no less than 2" nor more than 3" above the invert elevation of the outlet pipe. Inlet tee minimum of 10" length below water surface. The outlet shall be provided with a tee extending below the flow line 14"to 18" and be equipped with a gas baffle. There shall be an air space of at least 3" between the tops of the tees and the inside of the tank cover. Inlet tees may be modified or a 6"riser on inlet cover may achieve this spacing. The tops of the tees shall be left open to provide ventilation or separate ventilation shall be provided. The effluent tee shall be fitted with a removable plastic outlet filter, as manufactured by Polylok Inc., model PL- 120,Zebco, or approved equal. Provide manufacturer's maintenance data, as boxed with the filter,to the homeowner or the System Designer. e. Septic tank should be inspected by the Owner or his representative for solids accumulation annually. lomestead Inc. Page 1 11/7/07 CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS 408 Westhampton Road, Northampton When the sum of the sludge and scum layer approach 1/3 the net working volume of the tank (net of 16" total thickness), as measured at the center of the tank, the tank is due for pumping. Septic tanks shall be inspected and maintained in accordance with 310 CMR 15300 and applicable local requirements. Distribution Box The distribution box selected by the contractor shall conform with 310 CMR 15.232. Material of construction shall be concrete or plastic lined concrete. A 6"sump is required in the d-box. The distribution box shall be placed on thoroughly tamped and compacted sand or peastone a minimum of 6"thickness, and shall be leveled utilizing a water flow test. Speed levelers shall not be used on a new installation to obtain level and equal distribution flow, but should be installed after leveling is completed in case uneven settling occurs in the future. For inlet pipe slopes of 8%or greater, or where there is a pumped flow,the distribution box shall have an internal cast baffle or solvent welded pipe tee to reduce the velocity of the influent flow. An internal pipe "Y"or an elbow are not acceptable. The first 2 feet of pipe out of the distribution box to be set dead level. Use a femco connector to join to pitched pipes beyond first two feet. Pining L Piping to the septic tank(the building sewer) shall be 4"diameter,PVC Schedule 40 or better. Slope new pipe installations at 1/4" per foot length. t. All piping from the septic tank to the end of the system shall be 4"diameter, SDR-35 or better, except as noted on the drawings. Slope pipe installations 1/8"per foot length as a minimum value. -. Place magnetic detectable warning tape pre-printed "Sewer Pipe Below"or similar wording approximately 12"above all new 4"diameter piping installed on this project. Leaching Facilities General: All leaching facilities to be of the size and location shown on the drawings. Leach fields (Infiltration chambers): Arrange infiltration chambers on levelled ground. Parallel rows should be placed a minimum of 6" apart. Add end plates as per manufacturer's assembly directions. Fill spaces between rows with Title 5 sand to the level of the top of the chambers. See Calculation sheet for the size differences between these Biodiffuser Brand and Infiltrator Brand. c. Breakout barrier to be minimum 40 mil thick continuous sheet. Install barrier vertically from bottom of excavation to height of top of leaching system. Seams of membrane material to be overlapped a minimum of 12 inches and glued with sealant as recommended by manufacturer. Material to be hypolon, low density polyethylene, buna-N rubber. EPDM, or approved equal. Backfill in lifts of no more than 6"to assure minimal deformation of membrane. if material is wider than the vertical distance to be covered as shoes on the drawing, fold excess material over at the bottom of the trench, or trim with upper edge level at appropriate elevation. Inspection a. The contractor shall notify the System Designer, Tom Leue, at 800 285-4533 for System Inspections. Under current code. inspections are required after(1) initial excavation,but before Title 5 sand is added, and iomestead Inc. Page 2 11/7/07 CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS 408 Westhampton Road Northampton (2) after construction of the system, but before final backfill and topsoil are put in place.No installed system component shall be buried greater than 1"depth at the time of final inspection. Please give a minimum of 48 hours advance notice for inspections. The system shall be essentially complete at the time of the final inspection, including all components in place,risers and covers installed, electrical components functional, etc. The System Designer shall verify the system was installed as designed and authorize the final grading. If the System Designer finds the system is not ready for inspection after being called, or if serious deficiencies are discovered,the System Designer must be notified to return to the job site when it is complete. There will be a charge to the Installer of$50 for each return trip,payable directly to the System Designer at the time of the reinspection. Inspection and project closeout forms are usually generated within 24 hours of final inspection by the System Designer,when all other requirements are met. Signed Certificate of Compliance forms and As-built Drawings are sent to the Installer for a signature and date. One set of forms are then returned to the System Designer for final processing. The second set of forms are for the Contractor to keep as his project record. Final Grading i. At conclusion of work, loam and seed all disturbed areas to perennial grass mixture.Added loam may be required for adequate grass growth. Mulch slopes with hay,burlap or netting to minimize erosion. Surface over leaching facility shall be pitched so as to shed rainwater. Also pitch surface over all tanks to shed rainwater from any exposed covers. Do not allow surface water to puddle over any system component. Systems built late in the year,where the grass cover does not have a chance to establish itself,requires the contractor is to return after spring thaw and resurface final grades and add grass seed cover as required to equalize and stabilize all disturbed areas.
