Alabama Administrative Code › Title 420 - ALABAMA STATE BOARD OF HEALTH › Chapter 420-3-1 - ONSITE SEWAGE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL › Design And Construction Requirements › Section 420-3-1-.55 - Gravel Field Standard EDF Sizing For Establishments

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1)
General Requirements.
The
				procedure for EDF sizing for establishments depends on the estimation of volume
				and strength of waste. If ADPH determines the waste has not been appropriately
				characterized, ADPH may offer the option of a temporary Performance Permit so
				that the applicant may demonstrate the volume and strength of the
				sewage.
(2)
Sizing for High
				Strength Sewage.
(a) If an
				establishment has a projected flow of 1,800 gpd or less of high strength
				sewage, advanced treatment is optional if there is enough room to accommodate
				the large EDF that will be required without treatment. In that case, paragraph
				(b) below applies. If advanced treatment is used on high strength sewage (it is
				required at 1,800 gpd or above), paragraph (c) below applies for
				sizing.
(b) If advanced treatment
				is not used, the EDF size is based on average design load in pounds of BOD per
				day and no reductions may be taken for permitted disposal products.
1. To deternrine the average design load in
				pounds of BOD per day, refer to
				420-3-1-.52 Design Flow and
				Wastewater Concentrations.
2. To
				calculate the BOD load to the EDF, assume that the septic tank will remove 30
				percent of BOD.
3. Divide the BOD
				load to the EDF by the appropriate loading rate from Column V of Table 2 or
				Table 3. This is the bottom area of the EDF.
(c) If advanced treatment is used, then the
				EDF is sized using the design flow and is calculated by dividing the flow by
				the appropriate hydraulic loading rate in Column VI of Table 2 or Table 3. This
				is the bottom area of the EDF. This column gives a reduction in field size for
				treatment and no other reductions may be taken for permitted disposal products.
Alabama Administrative Code › Title 420 - ALABAMA STATE BOARD OF HEALTH › Chapter 420-3-1 - ONSITE SEWAGE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL › Design And Construction Requirements › Section 420-3-1-.56 - OSS/EDS Area Requirements

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1) The
				responsible person shall ensure the following:
(a) The EDF or discharge area shall be
				constructed so as to encompass the applicable number of permeability tests used
				to design the OSS or EDS.
(b) An
				EDF shall not be constructed in Texture Group 3, 4A, 4B, or 4C soils during
				periods of wet weather or when the soil is sufficiently wet at the depth of
				installation to exceed its plastic limit. Under these rules, the plastic limit
				of a soil is deemed to have been exceeded when the soil can be rolled between
				the palms of the hands to produce threads one-eighth inch in diameter without
				breaking apart and crumbling.
(c)
				Special caution shall be taken in allowing vehicles to cross the EDF during wet
				weather. Protection of Texture Group 3, 4A, 4B, or 4C soils, or fill material,
				is extremely important. Alteration of soil structure in the EDF area by
				vehicles may be grounds for the LHD to deny or revoke a Permit to Install
				(Repair).
(d) Excavating equipment
				used to construct an OSS shall be operated so as to not compress or smear the
				sidewalls or bottom of EDF trenches. Excessive smearing of the absorption
				trench sidewalls or bottom during construction may result in irreversible
				damage to the soil infiltrative surface and may be grounds for the LHD to
				revoke a Permit to Install (Repair).
(e) Vegetation with extremely hydrophytic
				(water-loving) root systems shall be removed for a m.irumum distance of 10 feet
				from the EDF.
Alabama Administrative Code › Title 420 - ALABAMA STATE BOARD OF HEALTH › Chapter 420-3-1 - ONSITE SEWAGE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL › Design And Construction Requirements › Section 420-3-1-.57 - Shallow Placement Systems

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1) The shallow placement of an EDF may be
				utilized to overcome soil and site limitations. Except as provided in this
				rule, the requirements for the design and installation of a shallow placement
				EDF shall be the same as for other OSSs.
(2) Shallow trenches may be used under the
				following conditions:
(a) A gravel trench
				shall be a minimum of 12 inches into the natural ground surface. The minimum
				depth for other permitted products shall be as shown in the Product Permit. The
				aggregate sidewalls or top of the EDF product shall be at or below the natural
				ground surface.
(b) The
				permeability rate is based on the least permeable soil horizon within 24 inches
				of the ground surface, or to a depth of 18 inches below the trench bottom,
				whichever is deeper.
(c) The soil
				cover shall be a minimum 12-inch depth over the aggregate or EDF product. If
				in-situ soil is not used for soil cover, the fill material shall be placed
				prior to installation at a uniform depth over the entire EDF. The soil cover
				shall extend laterally 3 feet beyond any outermost EDF side or end wall before
				the maximum side slope of 3:1 begins.
(d) Soil used as cover shall be topsoil that
				will support appropriate cover vegetation. It shall be a mineral soil material.
				preferably loose or friable, but not excessively sticky or plastic. It shall be
				relatively free of debris and coarse fragments larger than gravel size. Content
				of gravel shall not exceed 35 percent by volume. Textures may range from Groups
				1 through 4A. Texture Groups 4B and 4C shall not be used. Care shall be taken
				to prevent compaction.
