8 TYPES OF ONSITE WASTEWATER SYSTEMS Final Treatment MOUND SYSTEM
9 TYPES OF ONSITE WASTEWATER SYSTEMS Final Treatment DRIP SYSTEM
10 ONSITE WASTEWATER TREATMENT REGULATIONS Pretreatment WHAT ARE THE SSTS RULES? MINNESOTA RULES CHAPTERS Technical Information of ISTS Technical Information of MSTS Requirements of LGUs Certification Requirements for Qualified Employees
11 ONSITE WASTEWATER TREATMENT WHO DESIGNS? <2,500 gpd ISTS (Individual): Basic Designer 2,500 gpd to 5000 gpd ISTS with operating permit: Intermediate or Advanced Designer 5,000 gpd to 10,000 gpd: Advanced Designer or Professional Engineer >10,000 gpd LSTS: Professional Engineer
12 ONSITE WASTEWATER TREATMENT WHO REGULATES? <2,500 gpd Typical residential system: Managed by owner and permitted by County >2,500 gpd 5,000 gpd: Possible small association, small business, school permitted by County and may require an operating permit >5,000 gpd 10,000 gpd: Small community, business, school permitted by County and an Operating permit is required (Nitrogen and Phosphorus Treatment) >10,000 gpd: State, MPCA, Operating Permit, Wastewater License.
