1 Onsite Wastewater Treatment Biological and Agricultural Engineering Department
2 Overview What is an On Site Sewage Facility (OSSF)? Why are we concerned about wastewater? When to pump a septic tank? How to live with a septic system? Projects in the coastal watersheds Septic system survey
3 Onsite wastewater treatment
4 Malfunctioning onsite system
5 Septic tank & soil treatment area Evolving goal: Disposal: effluent goes away versus treatment Dispersal: TREATMENT Public health AND environmental issues addressed Management: Well Disposal: often no management at all Dispersal: system management is critical Groundwater Aerobic soil
6 Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments (CZARA) Funded through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Nonpoint source pollution Bacteria Phase III Project Period September 1, 2017 to February 28, 2019
7 Oso Watershed February 2017: Conduct a voluntary survey of group of 350+ homes in the Oso watershed Incentive for homeowner participation Completely voluntary Possibility of a free pump out of septic tanks Visual inspection of the septic tank Report of operational status A better understanding of OSSF operation and maintenance Suggestions to improve system operation
8
9 Oso Watershed Trained volunteers with help with survey 104 of 334 homes allowed AgriLife to visually evaluate the OSSF Pumped out and inspected 21 OSSFs in Summer 2017
10
11 Previous Inspections 96 OSSFs inspected from 2012 to were not pumped during inspection Coastal Counties Brazoria Chambers Galveston Nueces Orange
12 Double Bayou Watershed Plan to survey OSSFs located within 1000 feet of Double Bayou
13 What is a conventional septic system?
14 What is a septic tank? Water tight containers Concrete Plastic / Fiberglass Lids NOT Metal Detention time Typically 2-3 days Inlet Tee Risers Outlet Tee Calm conditions Gravity separation Scum Heavy sinks Lighter floats Clear Layer Anaerobic digestion Sludge
15
16
17 Septic tank pumping recommended? Should be pumped when total solids reach 25-33% of tank capacity. If A is less than 3 If B is less than 12 Typically required every 3 to 5 years Pump during dry seasons to reduce the risk of tank floatation
18 Measuring solids Scum Layer Clear Layer?? Sludge Layer
19 Conventional septic tank system
20 Gravel-less pipe distribution
21 Leaching chambers
22 Low-Pressure Distribution
23 Mound distribution field
24 Role of vegetative cover in treatment system A healthy cover crop is essential for the system to function properly. Plants will: o Take up water and nutrients o Stabilize the soil & prevent erosion o Support beneficial soil organisms Do NOT park vehicles on drainfield Do NOT construct decks, driveways or buildings over drainfield NO woody vegetation over drainfield
25 What is an Aerobic Treatment Unit?
26
27 Large rotifers attached to aerobic treatment media feeding on bacteria and organic nutrients ph 6.94, DO 4.54 ppm
28 Aerobic treatment unit system Disinfection o Disinfection, NOT Sterilization! o Chlorinator NOT SWIMMING POOL TABLETS! o UV light Distribution o Pump tank o Spray field
29 Water quality spray field High potential for human contact with water Secondary Quality Effluent Remove 85-98% of solids and organic matter Remove pathogens? Soil microbes are the final treatment! This is effluent NOT DRINKING WATER!!!!
30 Subsurface drip distribution
31 Feeding the System Conventional and Aerobic Systems
32 Fats, oils and grease Constituent State at room temperature Comments Fats Solid Non-toxic to the system, origin animals, will separate in water Oils Liquid Non-toxic to the system, origin plants, trouble separating in water Grease Solid Residual material on appliances; solid material on pans/equipment; petroleum products; moisturizers; bath oils; tanning oils; Toxic to the wastewater system
33 Prescription drugs & antibiotics Can kill microbes living in system o Won t discriminate against organisms living in the system Additional treatment components may be necessary Increase maintenance Do not pour unused medicines down the drain
34 Kitchen Dishwasher Hydraulic surges of wastewater Space out loads Organic load Clean/scrape plates Garbage Disposal Increases scum by 20% Pumping required 1-2 years sooner Organic matter had not been digested, so it will take longer to break down Small particles take longer to settle
35 Laundry Use should be spread out o Returning from vacation Liquid soap is recommended o Use less o Remove risk of fillers in powders o Use bleach sparingly Consider a high efficiency washer
36 Toilet Only urine, feces, soap, toilet paper and limited amounts of cleaner should be going down drain No feminine products, prophylactics, cigarette butts, etc. No every-flush toilet bowl sanitizers Septic Safe?
37 Toilet paper Excessive use results in faster sludge build up Treated toilet paper (with lotions) prevents paper from settling Wet wipe disposal is discouraged
38 Cleaning products Cumulative effects on system performance Look at Labels! DANGER: Means the chemical will kill the bacteria, and its use should be minimized or eliminated. WARNING: Means limited use should have a minimal impact on the system. CAUTION: Typically means the product will have little effect.
39 Drain cleaner Toxic drain cleaners can impact ability to properly treat wastewater Affect bacteria activity
40 Septic system additives Not been proven to be beneficial to system performance Not recommended Break up particles that are settled at the bottom and make them suspended Potential solids loading to downstream components
41 Why perform maintenance? Keep systems functioning properly Maintain effluent quality Early detection of problems Public health Environmental Protection System reliability
