can only be used by residents, it's considered Title 5 flow. But if the public uses it, it is <br /> considered industrial discharge. Because that makes it commercial and industrial. The <br /> board needs to make, in their approval,that only the residents can use the facilities. <br /> MR. BAUMGAERTEL: If it were industrial you'd have to use tight tanks and all the other <br /> accoutrements that come along with that. <br /> MR. HARRINGTON: Exactly, we discussed this and I think that scared them to death <br /> when they got DEP and saw that DEP was going to require the same thing. Which they <br /> have to because if the public uses it, it is industrial discharge. I think that the board <br /> needs to clarify that going forward that only the residents can use it,then it is <br /> considered residential flow and worked into Title 5 design flow and water use. <br /> I looked into the different types of approval. I first thought that this was going to be <br /> remedial use. But,the remedial use for Singulair system is only good up to 1500 gallons <br /> per day and all of these systems are over 1500 gallons/day, so they have to use general <br /> use. I'm going to ask the engineer to put the monitoring requirements on the plan for <br /> the general use for each of the systems. And,then we will review it once they put those <br /> operation and maintenance requirements on it. To force them to go through the DEP <br /> approval monitor. <br /> MR. BAUMGAERTEL: If it's general,that would only require them to do monitoring once <br /> a year? <br /> MR. HARRINGTON: If it's a large system. This is a non-residential, it is residential, but it <br /> is considered a large system. We'll see what they come up with. Systems 1 and 2 need <br /> an equalization and a distribution box because they show 2 lines coming out of the <br /> septic tank and they're never going to get equal distribution out of 2 sides of the septic <br /> tank. It's just a matter of throwing a DB9 or some big D box in there to get equal <br /> distribution up to the other Singulair treatment units. You can't stick 2 outlets of a <br /> septic tank, you're never going to get equal distribution. <br /> MR. BAUMGAERTEL: It's impossible. You can't put speed levelers in there. <br /> MR. HARRINGTON: You're moving solids in there. It doesn't quite work. The Singulair <br /> model 960-1000 which is the units that they have here. In the approval letter they <br /> require there to be Title 5 compliant septic tanks prior to the 96-1000 and the tanks <br /> don't meet Title 5. They're too small. So, unless Winston has some exemption, we'll <br /> have to see what that is because the way I read the DEP approval letter, is that they still <br /> have to have Title 5 compliant tanks, which is 48 hour retention. So,that's double the <br /> design flow. The two thousand gallon pre-treatment septic tank for system 1 is not a <br /> 4,000 gallon tank because the design flows 2,000 gallons/day. And,there is no locus <br /> map or benchmark. <br /> MR. BAUMGAERTEL: Locus map, benchmark, north arrow, those are little details that <br /> look for. If those are missing, then you got to start looking for other stuff. Those are <br /> basic. They're in your starting CAD file, so if they're missing, you got a problem. <br /> MR. HARRINGTON: There are probably more things on here, and I didn't do all of the <br /> pump calculations, which I will do. But the one thing to note that I thought was <br /> interesting is that in the very middle of the plan, they show a sewer manhole between <br /> unit 5 and the end of the building, which is where the laundry is,that sewer manhole is <br /> down 15 feet to the bottom of that. They're going to have to trench all the way from <br /> the back of the building, up the hill, down 15 feet in the ground that entire way to lay <br /> that at a gravity flow to meet the elevation 15 feet down in that spot. <br /> MR. BAUMGAERTEL: Why would they do it that way? <br />
