Larry Martin Construction, installed the system. The OWTS design is based on 2-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 300 GPD was used. The 4-inch diameter SDR-35 sewer line exiting the residence has a double -sweep clean out and a minimum 2% grade to the septic tank. The system installation included a 1500-gallon, two -compartment concrete Valley Precast septic tank with an Orenco® Biotube Pump Vault and an Orenco® PF3005 pump in the second compartment. The floats were set to dose approximately 80 gallons each pump cycle, allowing 1 gallon of drain back after each pump cycle. The control panel for the pump is located on a post near the tank. Valley Precast out of Buena Vista was contracted for start-up of the pumping system. A 1.5-inch diameter Schedule 40 pump line was installed from the pump to an Orenco® automatic distributing valve (ADV), model 6402. The ADV was placed a high point in the system in an insulated riser with access from grade. Effluent is pressure dosed through a 1.5-inch diameter pump line to two over -excavated, 12' x 42' unlined sand filters with 2-feet of sand filter material. There was at least 6-feet of undisturbed soil between the beds. Pipes used to disperse the effluent were surrounded by washed coarse screened gravel. The manifold was be 1.5-inches in diameter. Laterals were 1.5-inches in diameter with 5/32-inch diameter orifice holes facing down, spaced 2-feet on center. Laterals began 2-feet from the edges of the sand filter and the middle lateral was separated by 4-feet. Each 1.5-inch diameter lateral ends in a sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing. A soil separation fabric was placed over the gravel layer followed by approximately 1-foot of topsoil. The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee of workmanship and/or parts and materials. ALL SERVICE septic, LLC should be notified if changes are made to the OWTS in the future. Any additional OWTS construction must be according to the county regulations. LIMITS: Observations are limited to components that are visible at the time of the inspection. The installer must have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the county in which they are working. The quality of the installation is dependent of the expertise of the installer, soil type, and weather conditions. Please call with questions. Sincerely, ALL SERVICE septic, LLC Og.
