NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
Subject: Approval of Engineering Plans and Specifications for the Jim Lowe Residential Sand
Filter System, Person County, NC
Project Number 2004-01
Deaz Mr. Kelly:
We have reviewed revised engineering plans and specifications for the sand filter system proposed to serve
the Jim Lowe residence, received March 1, 2004. There was a minor error in the submission that I have
pen-changed per the request of William O'Daniel. It appears that all of our previous technical comments
have been adequately addressed by the proposed revisions.
Enclosed is one copy of the plans and specifications, stamped "Approved by the On-Site Wastewater Section,
Division of Environmental Health, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The Improvement
,�
Pernut and Authorization to Construct to be issued for this new system must include the approved plans,
specificarions, System Operation and Maintenance Plan, legal documents and any other conditions deemed
appropriate by the health department
The approved plans and specifications are for the following facilities and system components:
Facilities: New two bedroom addition to an e�usting single family house
Svstem: 1-1,200 gallon septic tank; 1-1,200 gallon pump tanlc; timer-based sand filter dosing system; 2,400
squaze foot sand filter. (Note approval extends from sepric tank to outlet of sand filter, and drainfield
trench detail.}
Desi Flow: 240 gallons per day
SYstem classification: Va, requiring semi�nnual inspection by the ORC with semi-annual inspection reports
submitted to the local health department and at least yearly inspection by your department.

It is critical that the Health Department require a preconstruction meeting be held prior to system
installation. This meeting must be attended by representatives of the Health Department, owner, installer
and the engineer certifying the installation. During this meeting, the sequencing of project conshuction,
inspection, and testing activities must be discussed and clearly understood by all parties. Holding such
a preconstruction meeting must be listed as a condition in the Authorization to Construct, with
attendance required by all key parties prior to the onset of the system installation.
As you are aware, there are a number of times during the installation of this system when direct supervision by
the health department must be provided to insure that this system is installed properly. For this project, make
certain that:
Tanks to be provided (sepric tank and pump tank) are installed in strict accordance with the approved
plans and specifications including properly constructed state-approved tanks, as indicated, paying strict
attention to specified invert elevations, watertightness provisions including specified pipe penetrations,
additional waterproofing, and dra.inage provisions to divert surface water from the tanks and their
access openings. Ensure that access openings aze provided as shown and that openings aze modified
or provided as shown and determined to be fully accessible and functional from the ground surface
without requiring entrance into any basins. Ensure that all tanks aze determined to be fully watertight
and infiltration-resistant per the watertightness test specified. Do not accept any tanks that have had
holes cast into them below the working liquid level, whether patched or not.
2. Sand filter is properly constructed as indicated in the approved plans and specifications including the
treated wooden wa11 supports, 30 mil PVC liner, pipe penetrations, leak test, vented underdrainage
system, media sizes and specifications, including clean.sand filter sand (note that a good way to test
for dust contect is to put some sand in a jar with water and shake it up and then let it rest; if an
appreciable film forms on the water surface, the sand is not clean enough).
3. Sand filter distribution ssy tem is provided as indicated in the approved plans and specifications
including material, size, and spacing of lines, orifice size and spacing, and properly constructed lateral
turnups.
4. Pump tank must include a11 specified pumps and components, with all hardware of stainless steel or
comparable corrosion resistance material. Ensure that all appurtenances, (e.g., floats and float support
mechanisms, valves, etc.) are provided as shown and specified, including the use of conosion-resistant
stainless steel and PVC/Sch 40 and/or ductile iron pipe where indicated. Level control floats must be
readily accessible from above grade and installed at specified activarion elevarions. Control panel is
to be installed directly adjacent to the tank in NEMA 4X enclosure with wires conveyed from pumps
and controls directly to the panel through conduit installed in the riser. Wire conduits must be
watertight and gastight, yet still enable floats or pumps to be changed without requiring entrance into
the tanks.
Pump delivery rates must a11 be measured (for each pump) and determined to be compazable to
design specifications.

5. Dosin� svstem appurtenances must be manually checked and controls must be tested for proper
automatic operarion. The sand filter dosing system must be demonstrated to effecrively a11ow for
specified design dose frequency and times to be delivered to the sand filter. Ensure that all lines are
flushed and pressure head correctly set. Level control floats must also be set to acrivate at levels
indicated on approved plans. The proposed high water alarm should also be tested and ensured to be
properly functioning.
6. Operation and Maintenance (O&M): The operation permit must include, as conditions, the O&M
procedures aitached to the approved Specificarions. It shall also include ti�e necessary information regarding
the proposed management entity and certified operator as well as any additional concerns deemed
appropriate by the health department for the O&M of this system.
A certified subsurface system operator sha11 be contracted to operate the sand filter system. The
operator shall inspect the system and report findings to the health department semi-annually. The health
department shall review/inspect system operation annually.
Note that a registered professional engineer must certify that the system has been installed in accordance
with the approved plans and specifications. This certification is based upon periodic observations of
construction and a final inspection for design compliance by the certifying engineer or his representative.
Record drawings by the engineer shall accompany this certification. The installarion must be approved by
the health department prior to the issuance of an operation permit.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions pertaining to this letter or if we may be of further
assistance with this project. I can be contacted at (919) 715-3272 or by email at trishangoli@ncmail.net.
Sincerely,
