Current through June 25, 2024
It is not possible to outline every conceivable soil,
						site or design situation which may occur. The following section addresses basic
						criteria that every elevated sand-mound will need to follow.
1. Site conditions where elevated sand mounds
					 are applicable:
a. Permeable soils with high
					 water tables: The elevated sand mound is useful in many difficult soils and can
					 be effective in overcoming high water tables. In fact, the use of an elevated
					 sand mound on permeable soils with high water tables may be the most practical
					 use of this system. Whether the water table is seasonal or permanent, these
					 soils have inadequate vertical separation to provide satisfactory treatment
					 with conventional systems. The mound system addresses these conditions by
					 elevating the absorption area to achieve the needed vertical separation.
					 Passing the effluent through the filter media will result in a more thoroughly
					 treated effluent, before it reaches the water table.
b. Slowly permeable soils: The elevated sand
					 mound has an application on these soils, although may be costly due to the size
					 of the basal area required. The elevated sand mound applies the effluent to the
					 lighter textured top soil over a large area moving laterally until it is
					 absorbed into the less permeable subsoil. On slowly permeable soils with high
					 water tables, 5:1 side slopes are recommended.
c. Excessively permeable soils: These sites
					 present the risk of inadequate wastewater treatment before it reaches
					 unprotected aquifers. The elevated sand-mound system treats the wastewater to a
					 higher level before it reaches the excessively permeable sub-soil.

Current through June 25, 2024
1. A soil and site
					 evaluation must be performed on the lot. See also Section VII. The loading rate

Current through June 25, 2024
1. Site Preparation: Good construction
					 techniques are essential if the mound is to function properly. The following
					 techniques should be considered:
c. Step 1:
					 Rope off the site to prevent damage to the area during other construction
					 activity on the lot. Vehicular traffic over the area should be prohibited to
					 avoid soil compaction.
d. Step 2:
					 Stake out the mound perimeter and bed in the proper orientation. Reference
					 stakes set some distance from the mound perimeter are also required in case the
					 corner stakes are disturbed.
e.
					 Step 3: Cut and remove any excessive vegetation. Trees should be cut at ground
					 surface and the stumps left in place.
f. Step 4: Measure the average ground
					 elevation along the upslope edge of the bed to determine the bottom elevation
					 of the bed.
g. Step 5: Install the
					 delivery pipe from the dosing chamber to the center of the mound. Lay the pipe
					 below the frost or slope it uniformly back to the dosing chamber so it may
					 drain after dosing. Back fill and compact the soil around the pipe.
h. Step 6: Plow the area within the mound
					 perimeter. Use a two bottom or larger moldboard plow, plowing 7 to 8 in. (18 to
					 20 cm) deep parallel to the contour. Single bottom plows should not be used, as
					 the trace wheel runs in every furrow, compacting the soil. Each furrow should
					 be thrown upslope. A chisel plow may be used in place of a moldboard plow.
					 Roughening the surface with backhoe teeth may be satisfactory, especially in
					 wooded sites with stumps. Rototilling is not recommended because of the damage
					 it does to the soil structure. However, rototilling may be used in granular
					 soils, such as sands. Plowing should not be done when the soil is too wet.
					 Smearing and compaction of the soil will occur. If a sample of the soil taken
					 from the plow depth forms a wire when rolled between the palms, the soil is too
					 wet. If it crumbles, plowing may proceed.

These tablets are not acceptable for use in On-site systems.
They

Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 15 - Mississippi Department of Health › Part 18 - Division of On-site Wastewater › Subpart 77 - On-site Wastewater Regulations › Chapter 6 - DISINFECTION › Rule 15-18-77-6.1.3 - Design

Current through June 25, 2024
It is important that wastewater be adequately treated prior
					 to disinfection. The effectiveness of a disinfection system depends on the
					 characteristics of the wastewater, the amount of time the microorganisms are
					 exposed to the disinfectant, and the chamber configuration. The design for each
					 type of disinfection is as follows:
1.
				  Chlorine Tablet or Liquid
a. The Chlorine
				  Contact Chamber must meet the following requirements:
i. Constructed from concrete, fiberglass or
				  polyethylene in accordance with
Appendix 01
.
ii. Constructed to withstand the earth
				  pressures encountered and able to withstand the chemical effects of chlorine
				  and wastewater.
iii. Equipped with
				  baffles or provided with an inlet to provide adequate mixing and contact of
				  chlorine and effluent. The inlet and outlet must be Schedule 40 PVC pipe, 4
				  inches in diameter with the outlet tee extending 6 inches from the bottom of
				  the chamber. (Figure I)
iv.
				  Designed and located to have access a minimum of 6 inched above final
				  grade.
v. Provide 65 gallons
				  (minimum) capacity or 1 hour retention.
NOTE: If the chlorine contact chamber is an integral
					 component part of the design of the Advanced Treatment System the efficiency
					 shall be certified by the third party certifying entity.
vi. Sealed (water-tight) to prevent the entry
				  of surface or ground water. It is recommended that the outlet be placed above
				  any seasonal water tables as indicated by gray mottles. An approved sealant
				  shall be applied to the lid, inlet, outlet and access opening to prevent
				  groundwater and surface water intrusion.
vii. Consideration will be given to 2
				  flow-through units with commonwall construction so that each side satisfies the
				  detention requirements. The chlorine feed rate will be proportioned in
				  accordance with the flow and the chlorine demand of the wastewater. Adequate
				  mixing during the chlorine contact period will be insured by the installation
				  of adequate baffling.
viii. Pumped
				  periodically for sludge accumulation and properly disposed.

Current through June 25, 2024
1. The disinfection system shall not be
				  located in an area that collects surface water.
2. The disinfection system shall be installed
				  according to the following setbacks:
a. 5
				  feet from foundations, deck, out-building, etc
b. 10 feet from property lines
c. 50 feet from any public, private or
				  individual potable water source
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 15 - Mississippi Department of Health › Part 18 - Division of On-site Wastewater › Subpart 77 - On-site Wastewater Regulations › Chapter 6 - DISINFECTION › Rule 15-18-77-6.1.5 - Treatment

Current through June 25, 2024
1. Tablets shall not be in contact with
				  treated effluent except during times of flow. Other designs that meet the
				  criteria of proper effluent contact will be considered suitable after review by
				  the Division.
2. The level of
				  chlorination is a chlorine residual of not less than 0.1 to no greater than 1
				  ppm (parts per million) or a maximum of 400 fecal colonies/100 ml.
