Your Private Septic System and the Soil Type on your Property Part One

Your Private Septic System and the Soil Type on your Propertu Part One, there sure has been a great deal of study on just how will the soil of a property handles the waste and pathogens in the septic effuent. The EPA has been defining the Septic Wastewater Infiltration System or drainfield, by the limiting conditions of the site in a much more thorough mannet than just a simple perocoltion test, just how rapidly the soil of the property absorbs the water.

There sure does need to be adequarte depth to what is called the, limiting condition. Now this refers to either an impermeable layer that blocks the water flows to the soil beneath, or groundwater. The shallower the limiting condition, the more difficult its going to be to achieve the proper degree of treatment.

Tour Private Septic System and the Soil Type on your Property Part One, with the appropriate septic system, as little as 12 to 18 inches of separation is sufficient. But the distance is dependent is not only on the septic system feeding the drainfield, but also on the volume of liquid. For any Home Buyer or Home Owner that wants to able to converse knowledgealbly with a health official or an engineer, the following chart, shows four different categories of permeable soil depth, and the septic system types that are suggested for each.

Type one soil, on the left, is sure the worst condition shown on the diagram, is the shallowest to the limiting condition. But type four is the best, the deepest to the limiting condition.

Dale you are right on with this one. The type soil and depth are all very important factor when installing a septic system. It all comes down to these factors and what the design engineer comes up with for the most suitable system. I know David just had to attend a class the other day, I think it may have had to do with renewing his license, not for sure. He also has to attend continuing education classes just as we inspectors have to do. There are certainly many strigent guidelines folks have to abide by and that is a very good thing. Sure don't want any contamination problems.

Dale: California has really strict setbacks for where a septic system can be on a property. I'm not sure if they have them there in N.H. where you are. Our building and safety departments for each County have a Health Department that must approve the Septic System for setbacks, depth and container size for the house.

Howdy there Carl, Ceil, Jane

Its sure always a real pleasure to have the three of you stop by to pay a visit, as y'all always do. And to read and write a reply back to the comments your so kind to leave. On the posts, here at my little ole Blogging Homestead, my friends

Carl - Thank you kindly, Its sure does come down to what the septic system design engineer comes up with for folks. I mainly wrote this here series, so folks could have a bit of understanding as to what is being talked about when it comes to a private septic system.

Jane - the regulations here are also looked at very closely, but sometimes thing are over looked. By the folks that are paid to enforce them. We all that kind of thing goes on all over the Country.

Dale,

These septic tank lessons take me so far underground that I feel like a mole.

Howdy Dale-Who would have thought that I would learn so much about septic systems and in such detail. You are a wonderful teacher and know your stuff. :-) P.S. Thank you for the congrats on my milestone. :-)

Howdy Dale, Very informative post. I am sooooooo happy I don't have to deal with a septic system anymore (the city forced us to city-sewer)... You have to be so careful with things, especially when you have an older system!

Have a great holiday weekend!
