Subsurface lnvestigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design
3-Bedroom Residence
17527 Hwy 82
Garfield County, Colorado
Anna,
CBO lnc. has completed an onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) design for the subject
residence. fhe 4.75-acre property is located outside of Carbondale, in an area where OWTSs and wells
are necessary.
Legal Description: Section: 33 Township: 7 Range: 87 TR lN 7 & I4.75 ACRES
Parcel lD: 2391-333-00-016
SITE CONDITIONS
The property is currently developed with a 3-bedroom residence. This residence is served by a separate
OWTS that is not addressed in this design. A new, 3-bedroom residence is proposed on the southern
portion of the property. This proposed OWTS would serve the proposed residence.
The residence will be served by a private well on the property. The well is located on the northern portion
of the property. The well is located greater than SO-feet from the proposed septic tank and greater than
10O-feet from the proposed soil treatment area (STA).
The Roaring Fork River runs along the southern property boundary. No OWTS component will come
within SO-feet of the river. There are several ditches running through the property, in addition to a pond
No OWTS component will come within SO-feet of these features. Sewer lines will be properly encased
where they come within the required setback. An intermittent ditch lateral runs along the western
property boundary. This lateral will be placed in a culverVpipe or abandoned within 2S-feet of the STA.
The proposed soil treatment area (STA) location is relatively flat and is vegetated with native grasses.
There should be no traffic or staging of material over the future STA site to avoid compaction of soils
prior to construction of the STA.

SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated by Kumar and Associates, Project No. '16-7-424 and is documented in a
report dated October 5,2016 (enclosed). One Profile Pit was excavated. The subsoils encountered below
1-ioot of topsoil consisted of extremely gravelly sandy loam with small boulders. A sample was taken from
the profile Pit between 3.5 and 4-feet below grade. Soils consisted of 74% gravel, 24oh sand, 1 % silt, and
1o/o clay. Soils were classified as Extremely Gravelly Sand. Free water was observed in the pit at 3.S-feet
below grade.
For the purpose of designing the STA, we have classified soils as R-0. A mounded, unlined sand filter with
minimum oi g-teet of sand fiiter material (Secondary Sand) has been specified. We have also estimated
high seasonal groundwater at 1-foot below native grade. The required separation between the infiltrative
arEa and ground water for Treatment Level I (TLl ) is 3-feet. A long-term acceptance rate (LTAR) of
0.8 gallons per square foot will be used to design the STA.
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Design Calculations:
nverage oesign Flow = 75 GPD x 2 people/bedroom x 3 Bedrooms = 450 GPD
LTAR = 0.8 GPD/SF
450 GPD / 0.8 GPD/SF = 562.5 SF
The OWTS design is based on 3-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 450 GPD will be used
Page 4
For the purposes of this OWTS design, Benchmark Elevation at grade 6399' has been established as
100' (Finished Floor). CBO lnc. should be notified of any discrepancies or problems with grade
elevations of proposed components during installation of the OWTS.
*Elevations are based upon standard OWTS installation practices. Component elevations may change during
installation due to site conditions. Minimum grade refers to piping between components.
The 4-inch SDR-35 sewer line exiting the residence must have a double-sweep clean out and a minimum
2o/o grade to the sePtic tank.
The system installation will include a 1000-gallon, two-compartment septic tank with an Orenco@ Biotube
Effiuent Filter on the outlet tee of the septic tank. The 4-inch diameter sewer line between the septic tank
and pump chamber must be properly encased in a 6-inch Schedule 40 sewer line because it will come within
50-feet oi the pond and ditch and will cross the ditch. An additional clean out must be installed a minimum of
every 1gg-feet. A SOO-gallon, single-compartment pump chamber must be installed at a low point in the
system. An Orenco@ Biotube Pump Vault with an Orenco@ PF3005 pump will be placed in the pump
chamber. Any state-approved concrete or poly septic tank and pump chamber may be substituted.
Anchoring the septic tank and/or pump chamber with Deadmen because of the high seasonal groundwater
table may be necessary.
The floats should be set to dose approximately 94 gallons each pump cycle, allowing approximately 3
gallons of drain back. The control panel for the pump must be located within line of sight of the pump
chamber. An electrician will be responsible for wiring the pumping system and the contractor will be
responsible for connecting the plumbing. This office should be contacted for start-up of the system to verify
its functioning and to perform a squirt test prior to use of the system.
Pum Table
Effluent will be pressure dosed through a 1.S-inch diameter pump line to a 10' x 56.25' mounded, unlined
sand filter. The excavation for the sand filter will begin 1.O{oot below native grade. A minimum of 3-feet of
sand filter material will be installed in the over-excavated footprint, resulting in 2-feet of sand filter material
extending above native grade. Sand filter material must be clean, coarse sand, all passing a screen having
four meshes to the inch. The sand must have an effective size between 0.15 and 0.60 mm. The uniformity
coefficient must be 7.0 or less. Material meeting ASTM 33, for concrete sand, with three percent or less
fines passing 200 mesh sieve may be used. A gradation of the sand media must be provided.

Effluent will be pumped through a 1.S-inch diameter pump line from the pump chamber to a level manifold
connecting three laterals. Laterals must be 1.S-inches in diameter with 5/32-inch diameter orifices facing
down, spaced 3-feet on center, installed on the GeoMatrM with the filter fabric over the laterals. Laterals
should be placed 2-feet from the edges of the bed leaving 3' between outer and center laterals. Three 39"
wide GeoMatrM must be placed on the 10-footwide bed. Allmaterialassociated with the GeoMatrM
installation must be proprietary products associated with the GeoMatrM, including orifice shields and
geotextile fabric. Manufacturer instructions must be followed regarding installation of the GeoMatrM.
Each 1.5-inch diameter lateral must end in a sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing. Laterals
must be covered by the gray GeomatrM soil separation fabric and at least 1-foot of topsoil or other suitable
soil able to support vegetative growth. There shall be no cobble-sized (2.5") or greater rock in final cover
over the GeoMatrM. lnspection ports must be placed into the sand filter material on each corner of the beds.
The mound must have a minimum 3:1 slope (horizontal:vertical); therefore, the basal area will extend
approximately 10.5-feet beyond the sand filter on all sides (with a mound height of approximately 3.5-feet
above native grade). Soils in the sloped perimeter areas of the mound must be well draining and able to
support vegetative groMh. This soil must be approved by this office prior to installation. The mound
must be crowned in a manner to promote drainage off the STA.
COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS
The component manufacturers are typical of applications used by contractors and engineers in this area
GBO Inc. must approve alternative components prior to installation of the OWTS. Requests must
be submifted, in writing, to our office for approval prior to installation. Component technical data
sheets are available upon request.
Construction must be according to the jurisdiction's adopted On-Site Wastewater Treatment System
Regulations, the OWTS Permit, and this design.

PERMIT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
An OWTS Permit Application must be submitted to Garfield County Environmental Health Department.
https://www.qarfield-county.com/environmental-health/filesqcco/sites/16/OWTS-Application-Complete-
Packet-Dec.-2019.pdf. lf the OWTS Permit Application will be submitted with a Building Permit
Application, it should be submitted directly to Garfield County Building Department.
All questions regarding permit submission can be directed to Garfield County Environmental Health
Department, 97 0-945-66 1 4 xB 1 50.
INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR
CBO lnc. expects that the installer be experienced and qualified to perform the scope of work outlined in this
design. The installer must review this design thoroughly and coordinate with our office in advance of
installation. Any additional conditions in this design or county permit must be completed and documented
prior to final approval of the OWTS installation. Communication between the installer and this office is
expected throughout the installation.
INSTALLATION OBSERVATIONS
CBO lnc. must view the OWTS during construction. The OWTS observation should be performed before
backfill, after placement of OWTS components. Septic tanks, distribution devices, pumps, dosing
siphons, and other plumbing, as applicable, must also be observed. CBO lnc. should be notified 48 hours
in advance to observe the installation.
ln an effort to improve the accuracy of the record drawing, we request that the installer provide a
sketch of the installation, including path of the sewer lines, water line installation (if applicable)'
septic tank location, STA location, and measurements from building corners or another fixed
objects on the property. This sketch is most easily provided on Sheet W2.0 of the OWTS Design
Packet. Photographs of the installation and final cover are also requested to supplement our installation
documentation.
REVEGETATION REQUIREMENTS
An adequate layer of good quality topsoil capable of supporting revegetation shall be placed over the entire
disturbed area of the OWTS installation. A mixture of native grass seed that has good soil stabilizing
characteristics (but without taproots), provides a maximum transpiration rate, and competes well with
successional species. No trees or shrubs, or any vegetation requiring regular irrigation shall be placed over
the STA. Until vegetation is reestablished, erosion and sediment control measures shall be implemented
and maintained on site. The owner of the OWTS shall be responsible for maintaining proper vegetation
cover.
OPERATION INFORMATION AND MAINTENANCE
The properly owner shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of each OWTS servicing the
property. The property owner is responsible for maintaining service contracts for manufactured units,
alternating STAs, and any other components needing maintenance.
Geo-fabrics or plastics should not be used over the STA. No heavy equipment, machinery, or materials
should be placed on the backfilled STA. Machines with tracks (not wheels) should be used during
construction of the STA for better weight distribution. Livestock should not graze on the STA. Plumbing
fixtures should be checked to ensure that no additionalwater is being discharged to OWTS. For example, a
running toilet or leaky faucet can discharge hundreds of gallons of water a day and harm a STA,
Page 7
lf an effluent filter or screen has been installed in the OWTS, we recommend this filter or screen be cleaned
annually, or as needed. lf the OWTS consists of a pressurized pump system, we recommend the laterals be
flushed annually, or as needed.
The homeowner should pump the septic tank every two years, or as needed gauged by measurement of
solids in the tank. Garbage disposal use should be minimized, and non-biodegradable materials should not
be placed into the OWTS. Grease should not be placed in household drains. Loading from a water softener
should not be discharged into the OWTS. No hazardous wastes should be directed into the OWTS.
Mechanical room drains should not discharge into the OWTS. The OWTS is engineered for domestic waste
only.
ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES
lf design includes a pump, weep holes must be installed to allow pump lines to drain to minimize risk of
freezing. The pump shall have an audible and visual alarm notification in the event of excessively high-
water conditions and shall be connected to a control breaker separate from the high-water alarm breaker
and from any other control system circuits. The pump system shall have a switch so the pump can be
manually operated.
Excavation equipment must not drive in the excavation of the STA due to the potential to compact soil.
Extensions should be placed on all septic tank components to allow access to them from existing grade.
Backfill over the STA must be uniform and granular with no material greater than minus 3-inch.
LIMITS:
The design is based on information submitted. lf soil conditions encountered are different from conditions
described in report, CBO lnc. should be notified. All OWTS construction must be according to the county
regulations. Requirements not specified in this report must follow applicable county regulations. The-
contractor should have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of
the county in which they are working. Licensing of Systems Contractors may be required by county
regulation.

Subsoil Study for Foundation Design, Proposed Residence, 17527 State Highway
82, Garfield County, Colorado
Dear Ms. Edgerly:
As requested, H-P/Kumar performed a subsoil study for design of foundations at the subject site.
The study was conducted in accordance with our agreement for geotechnical engineering
services to you dated September 12,2016. The data obtained and our recommendations based
on the proposed construction and subsurface conditions encountered are presented in this report.
The site is adjacent to the Roaring Fork River and we understand flood plain area and elevations
are being addressed by cthers.
Proposed Constructiont The proposed residence building plans are being developed. We
expect the residence will be one story wood frame construction wirh an attached garage and
located on the site as shown on Figure l. Ground floor will be slab-on-grade or above a shallow
crawlspace. Cut depths are expected to range between about I to 3 feet. Foundation loadings for
this type of construction are assumed to be relatively light and typical of the proposed type of
construction.
If building conditions or foundation loadings are significantly different from those described
above, we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations presented in this report.
Site Conditions: The property is 4.682 acres and developed with a single family home in the
front (northern) part of the site and a gravel driveway. Vegetatian consists of cottonwood trees,
brush, grass and weeds. The ground surface in the area of the proposed residence is relatively
flat with a slight slope down to the northwest. Several irrigation ditches cross the site and the
Roaring Fork River is located just south of the building area in the rear of the property. Eagle
Valley Evaporite Formation is exposed on the valley hillsides.
-1-
Subsidence Potential: Bedroik of the Pennsylvanian Age Eagle Valley Evaporite underlies the
lower Roaring Fork Valley. These rocks are a sequence of gypsiferious shale, fine-grained
sandstone/siltitone and limestone with some massive beds of gypsum. There is a possibility that
massive gypsum deposits associated with the Eagle Valley Evaporite underlie portions of the
prop"rty. nissolution of the gypsum under certain conditions can cause sinkholes to develop and
ean-produce areas of localized subsidence. During previous work in the areq several broad
subsidence areas and sinkholes have been observed. These sinkholes appear similar to others
associated with the Eagle Valley Evaporite in areas of the Roaring Fork Valley.
No evidence of subsidence or sinkholss were observed on the property or encountered in the
subsurface rnaterials, however, the exploratory pits were relatively shallow, for foundation
design only. Based on our present knowledge of the subsurface eonditions at the site, it can not
Ue saiO foicertain that sinkholes will not develop. The risk of future ground subsidence at the
site throughout the service life of the structure, in our opinion is low, however the owner should
be aware of tne potential for sinkhole development. If further investigation of possible cnvities
in the bedrock below the site is desired, we shculd be contacted.
Subsurface Conditions: The subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by excavating two
exploratory pits in the building area and one profile pit in the septic disposat area at the
approximate locations shown on Figure l. The logs of the pits are presented cn Figure 2. The
sufisoils encountered, below about one to 3 feet of topsoil, consist of silty sandy gravel with
cobbles and small bculders. Resnlts of a gradation analysis perforrned on a sample of sandy
gravel with cobbles (minus 5 inch fraction) obtained from the site are presented on Figure 4.
Fr*e *uter was observed in the pits at a depth af 4 feet in the building area at the time of
excavatisn and the upper soils were moist.
Foundation Recommendations: Considering the subsoil conditions encountered in the
exploratory pits and the nature of the proposed construction, we recommend spread footings or a
thiekened itiU placeO on the undisturbed natural granular sail designed for an allowable soil
bearing pressuie of 2,500 p.rf for support of the proposed residence. Footings should be a
minimum width of l6 inches far continuous walls and 2 feet for columns. Loose and disturbed
soils and topsoil encountered at the foundation bearing level within the excavation should be
removed and the footing bearing level extended down to the undisturbed natural granular soils.
Exterior footings should be provided with adequate cover above their bearing elevations for frost
protection. Plaiernent of footings at least 36 inches below the exterior grade is typically used in
ihis orea. The site grading and floor level may need to be raised to achieve adequate frost cover.
As an alternative, thickened slab edges or shallow footings could be frost protected with
insulation in accordance with the International Residential Code. 'Continuous foundation walls
should be reinforced top and bottom to span local anomalies such as by assuming an unsupported
length of at least 10 feet. Foundation walls acting as retaining structures (if any) should be
des-igned to resist a lateral earth pressure based on an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 45
pcf ior the on-site soit as backfill. Due to the groundwater at this site, we recommended that the
main floor be slab-on-grade and crawlspace areas be eliminated.
Floor Slabs: The natural on-site soils, exclusive of topsoil, are suitable to support lightly loaded
slab-on-grade construction. To reduce the effects of sorne differential movement, non-structural
H-PE MI.JM&R Project No, 16-7-424
-3-
floor slabs should be separated from all bearing walls and columns with expansion joints which
allow unrestrained vertical movsment. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce damage
due to shrinkage cracking. The requirements for joint spacing and slab reinforcement should be
established by rhe designer based on experience and the intended slab use. A minimum 4 inch
layer of free-draining gravel shauld be placed beneath slabs to facilitate drainage. This material
should consist of minus 2 inch aggregate with less than SATa passing the No. 4 sieve and less
thanZVo passing the No. 200 sieve.
All nll materials for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at least 95Vo of maximum
standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Required fill can consist of the on-
site soils devoid of vegetation, topsoil and oversized rock.
Underdrain $ystem: For slab-on-grade construction, if the hnished floor elevation at the lowest
Ievel of the residence is at or above the surrounding grade, a foundation drain system is not
required.
$urface Drainage: The following drainage precautions should be observed during construction
and maintained at all times after the residence bas been completed:
l) Inundation of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should be avoided
during construction.
2j Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and eompacted to
at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density in pavement and slab areas
nnd to at least 907o of the manimum standard Proctor density in landscape areas.
3) The ground surface sunounding the exterior of the building should be sloped to
drain away from the foundation in all directions. We recommend a minimum
slope of 6 inches in the first l0 feet in unpaved areas and a minimum slope of 3
inches in the first l0 feet in pavement and walkway areas.
4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all
backfill.
Septic Disposal Area: The soil texture and structure conditions in the proposed septic disposal
area were evaluated by excavating one profile pit at the approximate location shown on Figure l.
The log of the profile pit is presented on Figure 2. The subsoils encountered, below about one
foot of topsoil, consist af extremely gravelly sandy loam with cobbles and small boulders.
Results of a gradation analysis performed on a sample of extremely gravelly sand {minus 5 inch
fraction) obtained from the site are presented on Figure 5. The soil type based cn gradation
analysis is 0 due to the rock content. Analysis of the soil texture by feel on the rninus No, l0
sieve portion of the soil classifies the soil as sand indicating a soil type l. Free water was
observed in the pit at 3lt feet deep at the time of excavation and the upper soils were moist to
very moist,
Limitations: This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical
engineering principles and practices in this a.rea at this time. We make no warranty either
express or implied. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based
upon the data obtained from the exploratory pits excavated at the locations indicated on Figure I
and to the depths shown on Figure 2,lhe proposed type of construction, and our experience in

the area. Our services do not include determining the presence, prevention or possibility of mald
or other biological contaminants (MOBC) developing in the future. If the client is concerned
about MOBC, then a professional in this special field of practice should be consulted. Our
findings include interpolation and extrapolation of the subsurface conditions identified at the
exploratory pits and variations in the subsurface conditions may not become evident until
exiavation is performed. If conditions encountered during construction appear different from
those described in this report, we should be notified at once so re-evaluation of the
recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes. \ffe are not
responiibie for technical interpretations by others of our information. As the project evolves, we
should provide continued consultation and field services during construction to review and
monitai the implementation of our recommendations, and to verify that the recommendations
have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design changes may require additional analysis
or modifications to the recommendations presented herein. We recommend on-site observation
of excavations and foundation bearing strata and testing of structural fill by a representative of
the geotechnical engineer.
If you have any questions or if we may be of further assistance, please let us know.

Effluent from the
relatively clear zone
of the septic tank,
between the scum
and sludge layers,
horizontally enters
the Biotube Effluent
Filter. Effluent th en
enters the annular
space between the
housing and the
Biotubes, utilizing
the Biotubes'entire
surface for filtering.
Parlicles larger than
the Biotube's mesh
are prevented from
leaving the tank.

Biotube@ ProPak Pump PackagerM
60-Hz Series Pump Packages
Control panel
General
0renco's Biotube@ ProPaK" is a complete, integrated pump package for
filtering and pumping effluent from septic tanks. And its patented pump
vault technology eliminates the need for separate dosing tanks,
This document provides detailed information on the ProPak pump vault
and filter: 4-in. (100-mm) 60-Hz turbine effluent pump, and control panel.
For more information on other ProPak components, see the following
0renco technical documents:
. Float Switch Assembl'es (NSU-MF-MF-I)
. Discharge Assemblies (NTD-HV-HV-I )
. Splice Boxes (NTD-SB-SB-1)
. External Splice Box(NTD-SB-SB-1)
Applications
The Biotube ProPak is designed to filter and pump effluent to either
gravity or pressurized discharge points, lt is intended for use in a septic
tank (one- or two-compartment) and can also be used in a pump tank.
The Biotube ProPak is designed to allow the effluent filter to be removed
for cleaning without the need to remove the pump vault or pump, simpli-
fying servicing.
Complete packages are available for on-demand or timed dosing sys-
tems with flow rates of 20, 30, and 50-gpm (1.3, 1.9, and 3.2 Usec),
as well as with 50 Hz and 60 Hz power supplies.

Using a Pump Gurve
A pump curve helps you determine the best pump for your system. Pump curves show the relationship between flow (gpm or Usec) and pressure
(total O'ynamic head, orTDH), providing a graphical representation of a pump's optimal performance range. Pumps perform best at their nominal
flow rate - the vatue, measured in gpm, expressed by the first two numerals in an 0renco pump nomenclature. The graphs in this section show
op1mal pump operation ranges with a solid line. Flow flow rates outside of these ranges are shown with a dashed line. For the most accurate
pump specification, use Orenco's PumpSelect" software.

Orenco Automatic Distributing F
Valve Assemhlies
For Wastewater Effluent Systems
Introduction
Orenco's automatic distributing valve assemblies, pressurized with small high-head effluent
pumps, are useful for distributing effluent to multiple zones. These zones can be segments
of sand filter manifolds, drainfields, or other effluent distribution systems. Distributing
valve assemblies can substantially simpli$ the design and installation of a distribution sys-
tem and reduce installation costs. This is particularly true where a distributing valve assem-
bly is used instead of multiple pumps andlor electrically operated valves. Additionally, a
reduction in long term operation and maintenance costs is realized due to a reduced size
andlor number of pumps. More even distribution can be achieved on sloping sites by zoning
laterals at equal elevations. This eliminates drainback to lower lines and the unequal distrib-
ution of effluent that occurs at the beginning of a cycle.
Valve Operation
The valve itself has only a few moving parts, requires no electricity, and alternates automati-
cally each cycle. Refer to Figure 1 for the following valve operation description. The flow
of the incoming effluent forces the rubber flap disk O to seat against the valve bottom €).
The opening @ in the rubber flap disk aligns with an opening in the valve bottom to allow
flow to only one valve outlet. The stem @ houses a stainless steel spring which pushes the
rubber flap disk away from the valve bottom after the flow of effluent stops. The stem acts
as a cam follower and rotates the rubber flap disk as the stem is raised and lowered through
the cam €). The force from the flow of effluent pushes the stem down through the cam and
the stainless steel spring pushes the stem back up through the cam when the flow of effluent
stops. Each linear motion of the stem allows the rubber flap disk to rotate half the distance
necessary to reach the next outlet. When there is no flow, the rubber flap disk is in the "up"
position and is not seated against the valve bottom.

The Distributing Valve AssemblY
The Orenco Automatic Distributing Valve Assembly combines the distributing valve itself and sever-
al other components to give a complete preassembled unit that is easy to install, monitor, and main-
tain. Figure 2 shows a complete assembly. Because distributing valves with several outlets can be
difficult to line up and glue together in the field, the discharge lines in the assemblies are glued in
place at Orenco. The unions (1) allow removal and maintenance of the valve. The clear PVC pipe
sections (2) give a visual check of which discharge line is being pressurized. The inlet ball valve (3)
allows a quiik, simple method to test for proper valve cycling. The ball valve also stops the flow of
effluent in case the pump is activated unexpectedly during maintenance or inspection. Check valves
may be necessary on the discharge lines. Use of check valves is discussed in the valve positioning
section.
Valve Assembly Hydraulics
Liquid flowing through the valve assembly must pass through fairly small openings and make several
changes in direction. Because of this, headlosses through the valve assembly are fairly high. Table 1
gives the headloss equations for several different assemblies and Figure 3 shows the graphical repre-
sentations of these equations. Orenco recommends that high-head turbine pumps be used to pressur-
ize thevalve assemblies to ensure enough head is available for proper system operation. High-head
turbine pumps are also recommended because the use of a distributing valve usually requires more
frequeni pump cycling. The high-head turbine pumps are designed for high cycling systems and will
outiast conventional effluent pumps by a factor of 10 or more in a high cycling mode. Furthermore,
the high-head turbine pump intake is 12 inches or more above the bottom of the pump and tends to
pr".,r"nt any settled solids from being pumped into the distribution valve and obstructing its opera-
iion. e minimum flow rate through the distributing valve is required to ensure proper seating of the
rubber flap disk. Minimum flow rates for the various models are given in Table 1.

The Pumping System
Although ttre distributing valve was designed for the irrigation industry it has started to gain fairly
wide acceptance in the effluent pumping industry. However, because of the mechanical movements
of the valve, it is necessary to take steps to prevent solids from reaching the distributing valve that
may impede the operation of the valve. Orenco Biotube@ Pump Vaults - when properly sized and
insiallei - provide the necessary protection to prevent valve malfunction. The Biotube@ pump vault
accepts effluent only from the clear zone between a tank's scum and sludge layers and then filters
this effluent through a very large surface area screen cartridge. Without this protection in effluent
systems, the valve has very little chance of reliable long-term operation.

Valve Positioning
The physical position of the valve in relation to the pump and the discharge point is very important
for proper valve operation. The most reliable operation occurs when the valve is placed at the high
point in the system and as close to the pump as possible. The transport line between the pump and
valve should be kept full if possible. If the line is empty at the beginning of each cycle, pockets of
air during filling can cause random rotation of the valve. The valve is particularly vulnerable to this
erratic rotation with empty lines that are long and not laid at a constant grade. An ideal valve loca-
tion is shown in Figure 4.
If the final discharge point is more than about 2 feet above the valve and the system does not drain
back into the dosing tank, check valves should be installed on the lines immediately following the
valve and a pressure release hole or line should be installed just prior to the valve. This pressure
release hole or line can go into a return line to the dosing tank or to a "minidrainfield" near the valve.
In order for the valve to rotate reliably, no more than about 2 feet of head should remain against the
valve to allow the rubber flap disk to return to its up position. In many cases, it may take from one
minute to several minutes for the pressure in the valve to be lowered enough for proper rotation to
occur. Special care should be taken when installing systems controlled by programmable timers to
ensrue cycling does not occur too rapidly. Figure 5 illustrates a valve assembly using check valves.
Pumping downhill to the valve should be avoided unless the transport line is very short and the ele-
vation between the discharge line out of the tank and the valve is less than about 2 feet. If the valve
is located many feet below the dosing tank, random cycling may occur while the transport line drains
through the valve at the end of the cycle. A pressure sustaining valve located just before the distrib-
uting valve may overcome this problem in some instances.

System Startup
Refer to the Hydrotek Valve booklet that is provided with the distributing valve assembly for the
sequencing of the valve outlets. The transport line should always be flushed with clean water before
installing ihe valve. Any sand, gravel, or other foreign objects that may have been in the pipe during
installati,on can easily become lodged in the distributing valve, causing malfunction'
With the pump running, alternately close and open the ball valve on the distributing valve assembly
to check proper rotation of the valve. (Irlote: If check valves are used on the lines after the distribut-
ing valve, the pump may need to be turned on and off to allow the pressure to be released from the
valve.) If visual operation of which zone is operating is not possible, watch the clear pipe on each
line for indication of which zone is operating.

Troubleshooting
1. PROBLEM: Valve does not change or cycle to next zone oI outlet
CAUSE:The stem and disk assembly is not rotating when water flow is tumed off and then
back on.
SOLUTION 1: Ensure that there is no debris inside the cam. Clean and carefully reinstall the cam'
SOLUTION 2: If fewer than the maximum number of outlets are being used, check the installation
of the cam. Ensure that the stem and disk assembly is not being held down by an
improperly installed cam. Refer to the cam replacement instructions'

SOLUTION 6:
SOLUTION 1
SOLUTION 2
2. PROBLEM: Water comes out of all the valve outlets
CAUSE: Stem and disk assembly not seating properly on valve outlet.
SOLUTION t: Check for suffrcient water flow. A minimum flow rate is required to properly seat
the disk as shown in Table 1.
SOLUTION 2: Remove the valve top and check the inside walls to ensure that nothing is interfering
with the up and down movement of the stem and disk assembly inside the valve.
SOLUTION 3: Make sure that the operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to the operat-
ing zones are not restricted in any manner.
3. PROBLEM: Valve skips outlets or zones
CAUSE:Pumping into an empty transport line - especially downhill - may cause the valve
to skip outlets from pockets of air allowing the rubber flap disk to raise during a
cycle.
Remove the valve top and check for proper movement of stem and disk assembly'
Check for and remove any debris or foreign objects that may jam or retard the
movement of the disk.
Check for freedom of movement of stem and disk assembly up and down over the
center pin in bottom of valve. Scale deposits may build up on the pin and hold stem
and disk assembly down. Clean pin and again check for freedom of movement.
Be sure that all operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to operating zones
is not restricted in any manner. This would cause pressure to build up in the valve
and lock the stem and disk assembly in the down position.
The backflow of water from uphill lines may be preventing the valve from cycling
properly. This can happen when the valve is placed too far below an elevated line.
If the valve cannot be placed close to the high point of the system, a check valve
should be installed near the valve in the outlet line that runs uphill from the valve
and a drain line installed just prior to the valve to relieve the pressure.
Keep the transport line full.
If the line must remain empty between cycles, use a larger diameter transport line
laid at a constant grade to prevent air pockets from forming.
CAUSE: The stem and disk assembly is being advanced past the desired outlet.
SOLUTION 1: Ensure that the correct cam for the desired number of zones is installed and that the
outlet lines are installed to the correct outlet ports of the valve as indicated by the
zone numbers on the toP of the cam.

General
Orenco's Automatic Distributing Valve Assemblies are
mechanically operated and sequentially redirect the
pump s flow to multiple zones or cells in a distribution
field, Valve actuation is accomplished by a combination
of pressure and flow. Automatic Distributing Valve
Assemblies allow the use of smaller horsepower pumps
on Iarge sand filters and drainfields. For example, a large
community drainfield requiring 300 gpm can use a six-line
Valve Assembly to reduce the pump flow rate requirement
to only 50 gpm.
Orenco only warrants Automatic Distributing Valves when
used in conjunction with High-Head Effluent Pumps with
Biotube' Pump Vaults to provide pressure and flow
requirements, and to prevent debris from fouling valve
operation. An inlet ball valve and a section of clear pipe
and union for each outlet are provided for a complete
assembly that is easy to maintain and monitor. ldeal
valve location is at the high point in the system. Refer to
Automatic Distributing Valve Assemblies (NTP-VA-1) for
more information.

These instructions are for use with GeoMat'" Leaching System
Put a 2 x 6 that is at least as long as the pipe
on the ground or saw horses for use as a
level surface.
Place the pipe on the 2 x 6 with one shield
at each end of the pipe to secure it from
rotation during orifice and shield
orientation marking, be sure to remove
these shields when pipe is complete.
Measure and mark position of orifice on the
top of the pipe, per design specification.
Snap a shield on directly beneath each
orifice mark.
Mark the edge of each shield on at least one
side, as shown, and mark the exact top of
the pipe. This marking will allow the shield
to be properly oriented.
Drill pipe per design specification.
Be sure to clean shavings/debris out of hole
Rotate shields 1-80 degrees to cover orifice.
The edge of the shield should be aligned
with the edge mark as shown. The shield
should be rotated such that the flat surface
and the top orientation mark are both in the
12 O'clock position. This should result in
the shield positioned directly over the
orifice.
Generously apply Premier brand One-Step
Pipe Cement Multi-Purpose Clear, or equal,
to the surfaces where the shield and pipe
meet. The use of a foam brush will help with
this;the round applicator is not effective.
Let glue sufficiently dry before rough
handling and/or sliding into GeoMat.
Note the obove steps are intended to prevent shields
from moving around during insertion into GeoMat;
notfor rough handling. When better odhesion is
necessory, for tronsportation, etc. use PVC primer
and solvent cement on all surfoces where the pipe
and shield touch and then snop on shield in correct
locotion.
