Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a)
				Where sewage treatment systems are to be located on the watersheds or well head
				area of public water supplies, the rules and regulations enacted by the State
				Department of Health for the protection of these supplies must be observed.
				Where systems are to be located on the watershed of any stream or body of water
				from which the City of New York obtains its water supply, the approval of the
				New York City Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Water
				Resources, must also be obtained.
(b) This appendix establishes the minimum
				standards acceptable in New York State. Other agencies, such as the Adirondack
				Park Agency or local health departments may establish more stringent standards.
				Where such standards have been established, or approval by another agency is
				required, the more stringent standard shall apply.
(c) A local health department may not adopt
				standards less stringent than the State standard unless a General Waiver has
				been issued by the State Commissioner of Health or his designated
				representative as provided in Part 75, of this Title, or the local health
				department is otherwise legally authorized to adopt such standards.

(a)
Site Investigation.
(1) Areas
				lower than the 10 year flood level are unacceptable for on-site systems. Slopes
				greater than 15% are also unacceptable.
(2) There must be at least four feet of
				usable soil available above rock, unsuitable soil, and high seasonal
				groundwater for the installation of a conventional absorption field system
				(75-A.8(b)).
(3) Soils with very
				rapid percolation rates (faster than one minute per inch) are not suitable for
				subsurface absorption systems unless the site is modified by blending with a
				less permeable soil to reduce the infiltration rate throughout the area to be
				used.
(4) Subsurface treatment
				systems and components of the sewage system shall be separated from buildings,
				property lines, water bodies, utilities and wells, to maintain system
				performance, permit repairs and reduce undesirable effects of underground
				sewage flow and dispersion. Table 2 lists the acceptable minimum separation
				distances from the various components of onsite wastewater treatment
				systems.
(5) Once the required
				infiltration area is determined by daily flow, percolation tests and soil
				evaluation, the required useable area of the property for subsurface treatment
				can be found. An additional usable area of 50 percent shall be set aside for
				future expansion or replacement whenever possible.

(a)
Gravity Distribution.
The maximum length of absorption lines
				used in conjunction with the gravity distribution shall be 60 feet.
(1) Distribution Box.
(i) For accessibility, it is necessary that
				the distribution box be located and have a removable cover not more than 12
				inches below grade. Where, due to site conditions, a distribution box must be
				greater than 12 inches below the surface, an extension collar shall be
				installed to within 12 inches of the surface.
(ii) All outlets from the distribution box
				shall be at the same level to insure the even distribution of flow.
(iii) To minimize frost action and reduce the
				possibility of movement once installed, distribution boxes must be set on a bed
				of sand or pea gravel at least 12 inches thick.
(iv) The drop between inlet and outlet
				inverts shall be at least two inches. A baffle is required at the inlet side of
				the box when the slope from the septic tank to the box exceeds 1/2 inch per
				foot or when siphon dosing is used.
(v) There shall be a minimum two inch
				clearance between the inverts of the outlets and the bottom of the box to
				prevent short-circuiting and reduce solids carry-over.
(vi) Distribution boxes may be constructed in
				place or purchased prefabricated. When concrete is used to construct boxes, it
				shall have a minimum compressive strength of 2,500 psi at 28 day set.
(vii) Prefabricated boxes may be constructed
				of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic. The boxes shall be installed in
				conformance with the manufacturer's instructions in addition to the
				requirements above.

(a)
Holding Tanks.
The use of holding tanks shall not be permitted
				for new home construction except where occupancy of a home is permitted while
				the sewage treatment system is under construction. Tank size shall be based
				upon five days design flow or 1,000 gallons, whichever is greater and meet the
				same construction as a septic tank except that the holding tank shall not have
				an outlet. Holding tanks are not acceptable for long term use on year-round
				residences.
(b)
Non-Waterborne Systems.
(1)
				General. In certain areas of the State where running water is not available or
				is too scarce to economically support flush toilets, or where there is a need
				or desire to conserve water, the installation of non-waterborne sewage systems
				may be considered however, the treatment of wastewater from sinks, showers, and
				other facilities must be provided when non-flush toilets are installed.
				Household wastewater without toilet wastes is known as greywater.
(2) Composters. These units shall be
				installed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. The units shall
				have a label indicating compliance with the requirements of National Sanitation
				Foundation (NSF) Standard 41 or equivalent. Only units with a warranty of five
				years or more shall be installed.
(3) Chemical and Recirculating Toilets.
(i) Chemical toilets provide a toilet seat
				located directly above a vault containing chemicals to disinfect and remove
				odors from the wastewater. Recirculating toilets use chemicals as the toilet
				flush fluid. The wastes are separated from the fluid, wastes discharged to an
				internal holding tank, and the fluid reused.
(ii) The liquids used in these types of
				toilets do not completely disinfect the wastes; therefore, waste products from
				these units shall not be discharged to surface waters or to the ground
				surface.
(iii) The reduced volume
				wastewater from recirculating toilets may be discharged to a larger holding
				tank but not to a subsurface absorption system.
(4) Incinerator Toilets. These units accept
				human waste into a chamber where the wastes are burned. They have a very
				limited capacity and require a source of electricity or gas. The ash remains
				must be periodically removed. They must be installed according to the
				manufacturer's instructions.
(5)
				Greywater Systems. Greywater systems shall be designed upon a flow of 75
				gpd/bedroom and meet all the criteria previously discussed for treatment of
				household wastewater.
