Engineer's OWTS Repair Design Plan
129 Cains Lane Carbondale, CO 81623 970.309.5259 carla.ostberg@gmail.com March 9, 2026 Project No. C2024 Gilbert Lowe c/o Shawn Parsons shawn@nativewaste.com Subsurface Investigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design 3-Bedroom Residence 787 CR 223 Garfield County, Colorado Gilbert, CBO Inc. performed a subsurface investigation and completed an onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) design for the subject residence. The 11.829-acre property is located outside of Rifle, in an area where OWTSs and wells are necessary. Legal Description: Section: 1 Township: 6 Range: 93 A TR IN NWSW OF SEC 1. Parcel ID: 2177-013-00-347 SITE CONDITIONS The property is currently developed with a 2-bedroom residence. The residence is served by an existing OWTS which consists of a 1000-gallon, two-compartment Copeland Concrete septic tank followed by 439 square feet of infiltrative area with 23 ‘Standard’ Infiltrator® chambers. The configuration is unclear. Garfield County Individual Sewage Disposal System (ISDS) Permit 2411 documents the system. The system was sized to accommodate 3 bedrooms. The permit received final approval on June 6, 1996. The residence is served potable water from a private well on the property. The well is located to the north of the residence. The well is not indicated on the Colorado Division of Water Resources website. We have approximated the location on the site plan. The well is located greater than 50 feet from the proposed septic tank and greater than 100 feet from the proposed soil treatment area (STA). A creek / drainage meanders along the western portion of the property. All OWTS components must be a minimum of 50 feet from the creek/drainage. An irrigation laterals loops to the south of the proposed STA. This lateral must be relocated at least 50 feet from the STA. The proposed soil treatment area (STA) location is relatively flat. The proposed area is vegetated with sage and 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. We created a site plan to the best of our ability with the resources available to us, such as Google Earth, Garfield County GIS, and a survey from 1998. Setback distances to physical features must be verified prior to installation. Page 2 Creek/ Drainage to west SUBSURFACE The subsurface was investigated on February 18, 2026 by digging two soil profile test pit excavations (Test Pits). A visual and tactile soil analysis was completed by Carla Ostberg at the time of excavation.1 The materials encountered in Test Pit #1 consisted of dark brown clay loam topsoil to 1-foot, underlain by medium brown silt loam to a maximum depth explored of 7.0-feet. There was noticeable moisture in the soils below 5-feet. No bedrock or groundwater was encountered. The materials encountered in Test Pit #2 consisted of dark brown clay loam topsoil to 1-foot, underlain by medium brown silt brown to a maximum depth explored of 6.0-feet. There was noticeable moisture in the soils below 5-feet. No bedrock or groundwater was encountered. A sample of the soil was taken from Test Pit #1 at 3-feet below grade. Soil structure grade was moderate. The soil formed a ball and a ribbon less than 1-inch in length before breaking. Soil structure shape was blocky and consistence was friable. Soil texture was smooth. An additional excavation was created when the existing septic tank was exposed. This appears to be at a lower elevation on the property (possibly 1-foot lower than the area where the Test Pits were excavated), with standing water at approximately 5-feet below grade. The soil is consistent with Soil Type 2, Silt Loam, with moderate structure grade. A long-term acceptance rate (LTAR) of 0.6 gallons per square foot will be used to design the STA. The presence of moisture at 5-feet below grade in the area of the proposed STA will require a shallow installation. The infiltrative area will be no more than 1-foot below native grade and slight mounding over the STA may be necessary. 1 Carla Ostberg holds a Certificate of Attendance and Examination from the CPOW Visual and Tactile Evaluation of Soils Training. Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS The existing septic tank will be abandoned by pumping the tank and removing it or crushing the top, bottom, and sides and filling in the void with onsite materials. The existing STA will be abandoned in place. Design Calculations: Average Design Flow = 75 GPD x 2 people/bedroom x 3 Bedrooms = 450 GPD LTAR = 0.6 GPD/SF 450 GPD / 0.6 GPD/SF = 750 SF x 1.0 (pressure-dosed bed) x 0.9 (GeoMat™ on native) = 675 SF The OWTS design is based on 3-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 450 GPD will be used. For the purposes of this OWTS design, Benchmark Elevation has been established as 100’ (existing sewer line exiting residence). The above photo shows the finished floor of the lower level of the residence is several feet below grade. CBO Inc. should be notified of any discrepancies or problems with grade elevations of proposed components during installation of the OWTS. OWTS Component Minimum Elevation Primary Tank Inlet Invert Approximate horizontal distance 30’ / min. 2% fall / min. 7.5” fall Automatic Distributing Valve Approximate horizontal distance 17’ / min. 1% rise / min. 2.125” rise Infiltrative Surface Approximate horizontal distance 9’ / min. 1% fall to STA / min. 1.125” fall *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 2% grade to the septic tank. The system installation will include a 1000-gallon, two-compartment Infiltrator® poly septic tank with an Orenco® Effluent Filter followed by a 500-gallon, single-compartment Infiltrator® poly pump chamber with an Orenco® Biotube Pump Vault and an Orenco® PF3005 pump. Burial depth of septic tanks may not exceed 4-feet to the top of the septic tanks. We are also providing anchoring guidance for Infiltrator® poly septic tanks in the Component Specification Packet. The floats should be set to dose approximately 52 gallons Page 6 each pump cycle, allowing approximately 2 gallons of drain back. The control panel for the pump must be located within line of sight of the septic tank. 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. Pump Table Dose Range Max = 114.5 gal. (450 GPD x 25% + 2 gal drain back) Min. 34 gal. (8 gal x 4) + 2 gal drain back Dose Setting 52 gallons/dose 22.5 gallons drain back (214’ / 1.5” diameter pump line) Float Separation 500-gallon, single-compartment Infiltrator® poly pump chamber 4” on/off float separation Pump Criteria 15.7 gallons per minute (GPM) 13.8 feet total dynamic head (TDH) Effluent will be pumped through a 1.5-inch diameter pump line from the pump chamber to an Orenco® automatic distributing valve (ADV), model 6403. This pump line must have a minimum 1% grade for proper drain back into the tank after each pump cycle. The ADV must be placed at a high point in the system in an insulated riser with access from grade. Screened rock must be placed below the ADV to support the ADV and to assure the clear pipes exiting the ADV remain visible for future inspection and maintenance. Effluent will be pressure dosed to through 1.5-inch diameter distribution lines to a 10’ x 67.5’ bed, excavated approximately 1-foot below grade. Soils in the infiltrative area must be scarified prior to placement of three 39” wide GeoMat™ sheets. Laterals must be 1.5-inches in diameter with 5/32-inch diameter orifices facing down, spaced 3-feet on center, installed on the GeoMat™ with the filter fabric over the laterals. Laterals should be placed down the middle of each lateral. All material associated with the GeoMat™ installation must be proprietary products associated with the GeoMat™, including orifice shields and geotextile fabric. Manufacturer instructions must be followed regarding installation of the GeoMat™. Each 1.5-inch diameter lateral must end in a sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing. The same size orifice should be drilled in the screw on caps of the flushing valves so a squirt test can be performed. Valves should be placed in a 10-inch sprinkler box for access. Inspection ports must be placed at each corner of each bed. Ports may be cut to grade and covered with a valve box for access. Slight mounding over the bed may be necessary to achieve a minimum 1-foot of cover over the laterals. The mound must have a minimum 3:1 slope (horizontal:vertical). Native soils may be used to create the mound. The mound must be crowned in a manner to promote drainage off the STA. Page 7 COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS The component manufacturers are typical of applications used by contractors and engineers in this area. CBO Inc. must approve alternative components prior to installation of the OWTS. Requests must be submitted, in writing, to our office for approval prior to installation.

PERMIT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS An OWTS Permit Application must be submitted to Garfield County Environmental Health Department. https://www.garfield-county.com/environmental-health/filesgcco/sites/16/OWTS-Application-Complete- Packet-Dec.-2019.pdf. If 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, 970-945-6614 x8150. VALIDITY PERIOD OF DESIGN DOCUMENTS This design is valid for submission of an application for permitting for two (2) years from the date of the design packet or upon a change in the county OWTS Regulation that could impact compliance with code requirements. Continued use beyond this period or following a change in the regulation is not recommended without review and update of design documents. Page 8 INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR CBO Inc. 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 Inc. 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 Inc. should be notified 48 hours in advance to observe the installation. In 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 property 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 additional water 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. If an effluent filter or screen has been installed in the OWTS, we recommend this filter or screen be cleaned annually, or as needed. If 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. Page 9 ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES If 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. If soil conditions encountered are different from conditions described in this report, CBO Inc. 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. Please call with questions. Sincerely, CBO Inc.

Tank buoyancy control measures must be implemented according to state and/or local regulations and approvals, which may supersede these guidelines. If unsure of the requirements for a particular site, contact the local health department or permitting authority. If tank buoyancy control measures are implemented, refer to Infiltrator IM-Series Tank Installation Instructions and Riser Connection Guidance documents, as applicable, for completing the installation. How to Use this Document 1. Using Step 1, Table 1, and Figures 1 and 2, verify that the level of uninterrupted saturated soil is below the height of the outlet pipe saddle and determine if buoyancy control is required. 2. Use the appropriate row in Step 2, Table 2 to determine the minimum buoyancy control methods for the site conditions. 3. Once the preferred buoyancy control method is selected, follow the implementation procedures provided in Step 3. Step 1 – Determine Need for Buoyancy Control Required information: (1) maximum height of uninterrupted saturated soil above the tank bottom; and (2) the depth of soil cover above the tank top. Tank buoyancy control may be required if: • the level of uninterrupted saturated soil outside the tank has the potential to rise 30 inches (750 mm) or more above the bottom of the tank; and • less than 12 inches (300 mm) of soil cover is to be placed as backfill over the tank top. Table 1 Instructions 1. In the left-hand column of Table 1, locate the row corresponding to the height of the uninterrupted saturated soil elevation outside the tank and above the tank bottom (Parameter I) for the site conditions. See Figure 2. 2. Follow that row to the right until reaching the column corresponding to the depth of soil cover above the tank top (Parameter II). See Figure 2. 3. If the tank model is listed in that cell, then buoyancy control is required (proceed to Step 2). If the tank model is not listed in that cell, then no buoyancy control is required. 4. IM-Series tanks shall not be installed where the uninterrupted saturated soil level outside the tank exceeds the height of the outlet pipe saddle. NO BUOYANCY CONTROL IS REQUIRED IF THERE ARE AT LEAST 12 INCHES (300 MM) OF SOIL COVER ABOVE THE TANK TOP.

NOTES: 1. Infiltrator tank models include: IM-540, IM-1060, and IM-1530. 2. Minimum 6 inches (150 mm) soil cover backfill is required. 3. IM-Series tanks shall not be installed where the uninterrupted saturated soil outside the tank exceeds the height of the outlet pipe saddle. See Figure 1. For Indiana installations, if the depth of uninterrupted saturated soil conditions cannot be determined from the site soil evaluation report or other site-related data and other information indicates the possible presence of a perched ground water table, no buoyancy controls are required.

See Supplemental Downward Force discussion below. 2. IM-Series outlet pipe saddle height is 43 inches (1,075 mm) above tank bottom (see Figure 1). Step 2 – Determine Buoyancy Control Method Step 2 is used if the Step 1 analysis shows that buoyancy control is required for the tank model and installation conditions. The site-specific maximum height of uninterrupted saturated soil outside of the tank and above the tank bottom and the depth of soil cover above the tank top must be known to complete Step 2. Table 2 Instructions For the appropriate tank model, select the desired buoyancy control method under each method description column. Refer to Step 3 – Implementation and Compatible Devices and Products sections of this document for additional information on the buoyancy control methods shown in Table 2. Supplemental Downward Force The minimum supplemental downward force required is included in Table 2 to allow custom buoyancy control methods. These values include a factor of safety of 1.5 applied to the calculated downward force required to restrain the tank. Custom-designed buoyancy control methods shall conservatively consider saturated soil conditions from the bottom-of-tank elevation to ground surface. As long as buoyancy control is provided that supplies the minimum downward force listed in the table (for poured-concrete blocks or other methods designed by third parties), the tanks are calculated to be stable for the uninterrupted saturated soil level outside the tank and above the tank bottom and corresponding soil cover conditions. All Infiltrator strapping and fastening recommendations apply for custom-designed buoyancy control methods. Contact Infiltrator’s Technical Services Department with any questions regarding supplemental downward force requirements. Step 3 – Implementation Effective buoyancy control of Infiltrator tanks requires careful preparation, thorough excavation, precise placement, secure strapping and proper backfilling, as described and illustrated below. Excavation Requirements It is recommended that the excavation width provide a minimum of 36 inches (900 mm) clearance beyond the tank on all sides when utilizing buoyancy control. This will allow sufficient space within the excavation to place anchoring equipment and fasten strapping. The excavation should provide a minimum 48-inch (1,200 mm) clearance beyond the tank when using Chance™ No-Wrench Screw Anchors to allow for room to properly install the screw anchors. The actual excavation size shall be determined by the installer. Refer to Infiltrator IM-Series Tank Installation Instructions for additional excavation procedures. Concrete-filled Half Pipe Construction Concrete-filled half pipe shall be supported with soil or other stabilizing means below the pipe haunches prior to concrete placement. The stabilization shall prevent the pipe from rolling during placement and curing of the concrete. Concrete shall be allowed to cure for a minimum of one day prior to tank backfilling. Placement of Deadmen and Anchors Concrete deadman anchors are to be installed at the bottom of the tank excavation, parallel to the long axis of the tank (see Figure 3). Figure 3: Plan View The deadmen should be placed close to, but not touching, the tank on both sides of the tank to allow the placement of backfill between the deadman anchor and tank sidewall (see Figure 4). Figure 4: Section View PROVIDE ADEQUATE SPACE FORBACKFILL PLACEMENT BETWEENDEADMAN ANCHOR AND TANK STRAPPING (TYPICAL) DEADMAN ANCHOR STRAPPING DEADMAN ANCHOR (TYPICAL) STRAPWIDTH 6" MIN EXTENSION 6" MIN EXTENSION Step 3 – Implementation continued Helical anchors should be installed so that the eye loop is level with the bottom of the tank excavation. They must be in line with the tank model strapping locations (see Figure 5) or lifting lugs, as appropriate. Anchors must also be installed at such a distance from and angle to the tank so that the strapping is within 5° of alignment with the anchor shaft per the anchor manufacturer’s recommendations. Figure 5: Strap Positioning Concrete Collar Backfill the tank to the mid-seam area. Concrete (minimum 3,000 psi at 28 days and minimum 6% air entrainment) shall be cast in contact with the exterior surface of the tank to allow interlock with sidewall ribs and the mid-height flange. The bottom of the concrete collar shall be cast at the top of the mid-seam flange. Strapping Proper installation of straps over the tank is critical for tank stability under changing conditions both inside and outside the tank. Straps must be placed at the specified strapping locations for each model, as illustrated in Figure 5. Strapping locations are embossed on the exterior surface of the tank with the following text: “SHIPPING/ANTI-BUOYANCY STRAP HERE.” The IM-Series tank strapping locations correspond to structurally reinforced areas of the tank body. Straps must never be placed over access openings, lids, or inlet/outlet piping. (Straps must be tightened with a ratchet or turnbuckle system to remove slack and slightly pre-load the system). Strapping Notes: 1. The buoyancy control shall be centered across the straps (excludes helical anchors). The control shall extend a minimum of 6 inches (150 mm) beyond the maximum strap width (see Figures 3 and 5). 2. The minimum deadman length corresponds to the tank model-specific strap width plus 12 inches (300 mm). Backfill and Cover Place backfill between deadman anchor and tank sidewall to fully fill void and tank body corrugations. A minimum 6” layer (150 mm) of suitable cover material is required over all Infiltrator tank installations. Mound cover to direct surface water drainage away from the tank excavation footprint to prevent filling of the tank excavation with precipitation. Establish erosion- resistant vegetation within the tank installation footprint. Refer to Infiltrator IM-Series Tank Installation Instructions for complete backfilling and cover procedures. Parts and Supplies The parts and supplies necessary are to be purchased separately from the tank. All parts and supplies are either commercially available or available through Infiltrator’s network of tank distributors. Some parts may require fabrication on site using common construction practices. General SpecificationsCompatible Devices and Products Infiltrator tanks are compatible with the following products for buoyancy control: • Tie-down straps: high-tensile-strength, 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) minimum capacity, nylon or polyester, with corrosion-resistant hardware. • Concrete deadmen anchors: concrete-filled plastic half pipe, precast parking bumper, precast traffic barrier, or precast block. • Helical anchors: Chance™ No-Wrench Screw Anchors with minimum 6-inch (150 mm) diameter, Class 7 or equal. • Mid-Seam Concrete Collar: cast-in-place concrete (minimum 3,000 psi compressive strength at 28 days and minimum 6% air entrainment). Tie-Down Straps Straps are commercially available in varying lengths and with assorted hardware and tightening options. Nylon or polyester strapping with minimum 8,000 lb (3,650 kg) capacity is required for buoyancy control use with Infiltrator tanks. Place straps over the tank at specified locations only (see Figure 5). (Tighten straps snugly with a ratchet or turnbuckle system to remove all slack and slightly pre- load the system). All connections, fittings, and hardware must be corrosion resistant or coated with epoxy or other corrosion-resistant materials to inhibit deterioration in the subsurface environment. Consider encapsulating such components in heat-shrink tubing or applying a corrosion-resistant coating prior to burial. Concrete Deadmen Anchors Recommended concrete deadmen anchors include filled plastic half pipe, precast parking bumpers and traffic barriers, and precast blocks. The weight of the deadmen anchors combined with the weight of soil above them provides buoyancy control when properly secured. Deadmen anchors are placed at the bottom of the tank excavation on opposite sides of the tank. The deadmen anchors are fastened to each other with tie-down straps placed over the tank at the locations specified for each tank model (see Figure 5). Concrete-filled Plastic Half Pipe Use Schedule 40 PVC plastic pipe with a minimum inside diameter of 15 inches (375 mm) or HDPE corrugated pipe with a minimum inside diameter of 18 inches (450 mm) cut in half lengthwise.

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 Orenco technical documents: • Float Switch Assemblies (NSU-MF-MF-1) • Discharge Assemblies (NTD-HV-HV-1) • 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. It 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 L/sec), as well as with 50 Hz and 60 Hz power supplies.

Using a Pump Curve A pump curve helps you determine the best pump for your system. Pump curves show the relationship between flow (gpm or L/sec) and pressure (total dynamic head, or TDH), providing a graphical representation of a pump’s optimal performance range. Pumps perform best at their nominal flow rate — the value, measured in gpm, expressed by the first two numerals in an Orenco pump nomenclature. The graphs in this section show optimal 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.

These zones can be segments of sand filter manifolds, drainfields, or other effluent distribution systems. Distributing valve assemblies can substantially simplify 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 and/or electrically operated valves. Additionally, a reduction in long term operation and maintenance costs is realized due to a reduced size and/or 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 1 to seat against the valve bottom 2. The opening 3 in the rubber flap disk aligns with an opening in the valve bottom to allow flow to only one valve outlet. The stem 4 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 5. 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. 5 4 3 2 1 Inlet Outlets Figure 1: 6000 Series Valve Orenco Automatic Distributing Valve Assemblies NTP-VA-1 Rev. 1.2, © 11/03 Orenco Systems®, Inc.

FOR CURRENT DESIGN CRITERIA, call Orenco Systems, Inc. at 1-800-348-9843. 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 quick, 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 the valve 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 frequent pump cycling. The high-head turbine pumps are designed for high cycling systems and will outlast 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 prevent any settled solids from being pumped into the distribution valve and obstructing its opera- tion. A 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.

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 installed — 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. Figure 3: Automatic distributing valve assembly headloss curves 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 ensure 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. Dosing Tank Discharge Laterals Distributing Valve Assembly Transport Line Figure 4: Ideal valve location NTP-VA-1 Rev. 1.2, © 11/03 Orenco Systems®, Inc. Page 4 of 6 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 the valve. Any sand, gravel, or other foreign objects that may have been in the pipe during installation 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. (Note: 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. Maintenance Annually check for proper operation by following procedures listed in the Hydrotek Valve booklet and system startup procedures listed above. Troubleshooting 1. PROBLEM: Valve does not change or cycle to next zone or outlet CAUSE: The stem and disk assembly is not rotating when water flow is turned 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. h Check Valves if h>2'-0" Distributing Valve Assembly Transport Line Dosing Tank Pressure Release Line if h>2'-0" Discharge Laterals Figure 5: Valve assembly below final discharge point NTP-VA-1 Rev. 1.2, © 11/03 Orenco Systems®, Inc. Page 5 of 6 SOLUTION 3: 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. SOLUTION 4: 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. SOLUTION 5: 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. SOLUTION 6: 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. 2. PROBLEM: Water comes out of all the valve outlets CAUSE: Stem and disk assembly not seating properly on valve outlet. SOLUTION 1: Check for sufficient 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. SOLUTION 1: Keep the transport line full. SOLUTION 2: 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. NTP-VA-1 Rev. 1.2, © 11/03 Orenco Systems®, Inc. Page 6 of 6 Distributing Valves 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 large 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. Ideal valve location is at the high point in the system. Refer to Automatic Distributing Valve Assemblies (NTP-VA-1) for more information.

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. Questions? Call Geomatrix Systems at 860-510-0730 QuickSnap and GeoMat are trademarks of Geomatrix Systems, LLC Old Saybrook, CT – QSINST 5/19 Drill pipe per design specification. Be sure to clean shavings/debris out of hole. Rotate shields 180 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 above steps are intended to prevent shields from moving around during insertion into GeoMat; not for rough handling. When better adhesion is necessary, for transportation, etc. use PVC primer and solvent cement on all surfaces where the pipe and shield touch and then snap on shield in correct location.
