Design Exercises

10. Draw a sketch of the major parts of an individual OSST system (septic tank and absorption field) in relation to a residence. Show clearance and setback requirements.

11. Design a private sewage system (septic tank and disposal field) for the apartment building.

In this design, use a percolation rate of 16 min.

12. Design a private sewage system (seepage pits) for the apartment building. In this design, use a percolation rate of 16 min. Assume the maximum water table elevation is 2 ft (0.6 m) below grade.

13. Design a private sewage system (septic tank and disposal field) for the building. In this design, use a percolation rate of 22 min.

14. Design a private sewage system (septic tank and disposal field) for the building. In this design, use a percolation rate of 32 min.
