Point Roberts Washington Point Roberts Realty. With the exception of the properties located within Pt. Roberts Marina Estates and Oceanside Estates Condominiums, all properties within Pt. Robert require the use of an onsite sewage disposal system which is commonly referred to as a SEPTIC SYSTEM. You will frequently see and hear the phrases, SOILS TESTED  SEPTIC PERMIT DESIGNED and others. These terms relate to a propertys current status regarding SEWAGE DISPOSAL. There are several different types of sewage systems available depending upon soil structure andor ground water table. The cost of these systems vary. The five basic systems are as follows Standard in ground system, non mechanical and least expensive system available. Pressure System, may or may not require a pump tank, the drain field area may be somewhat elevated a portion of the drain field lies within the natural soils. Least expensive of the mechanical systems. Pressure Mound, mechanical pump tank with elevated drain field drain field is installed in a mound of sand above the natural grade and soils. Cost more than a Pressure System. Sand Filter, mechanical pump tank with elevated drain field drain field is installed in a contained bunker or bladder and is layered with different courses of sand and gravel. Before you lift the toilet to snake the line test the toilet itself. Swirling in the bowl is a primary indication that the water from the tank is not entering the. It is installed in most cases above the natural grade and soils. More expensive than a Pressure Mound. Glendon Bio. Filter System, mechanical pump tank with elevated drain field drain field is installed in a contained bunker covered with sand Cost similar or more than a sand filter system. OSCAR LOWe. FLOW System, is comprised of a recirculation filter, a septic tank, recirculationmixing tank, headworks, dischargeclarifier tank, and the OSCAR unit. Wastewater is collected in a standard septic tank where gross solids are settled out and primary treatment occurs. Septic tank effluent flows from the septic tank into the recirculation tank. Liquid in the recirculation tank is mixed with treated filtrate from the gravel filter. The mixed liquid is dosed to a drip tubing network called a Coil in the top of the LOWe. FLOW filter. Has the smallest footprint of any technology available. THERE MAY BE SITUATIONS WHICH WILL REQUIRE COMBINATIONS OF THE ABOVE SYSTEMS. The process of qualifying a property for a SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM is as follows A licensed designer will conduct a soils test by digging several holes on the property in the most logical area for the Septic System to allow for a proper building site, driveways, setbacks, etc. Keep in mind that the best area soil wise might be an area that conflicts with home placement, location of driveway etc. The designer will also find and show an area for a future drain field reserve area in the event the primary drain field fails. It is not unthinkable to put in double drain fields, as this will allow one field to rest and switch off between the two, this greatly reduces the chances of drain field failure. NbFRnPK4/hqdefault.jpg' alt='Septic Tank Diagram For Installing Running' title='Septic Tank Diagram For Installing Running' />The designer will submitt a design to the Whatcom County Health Department of the soils evaluation, location of drain field and septic tank. The Health Department will conduct a site inspection of the property to confirm the  submission of soils and design. If the County Health Department agrees with the designers findings they will then approve the property for sewage disposal use and a construction permit will be issued. Sewage Disposal Construction Permit. This permit is issued after a licensed designer gives Whatcom County Health Department a detailed diagram showing the properties soils, the size and location of the drain field and septic tank. This design must meet Whatcom County Health Departments approval. The Health Department will then issue the Sewage Disposal Construction Permit. This permit shows the location of the drain field, septic tank, proposed location of the dwelling to be constructed and the number of bedrooms that the septic system is approved for. This permit allows a septic system to be installed according to the design and layout. Bear in mind that Sewage Disposal Construction Permits are issued for a given timeframe with and expriy date. One must be sure to confirm that the permit is still valid. Once a Construction permit is issued for a specific septic system, any change to the septic system andor the number of bedrooms the house will have, a redesign must be done by a licensed designer and submitted for approval of the Whatcom County Health Department. When Buying an Existing Home or Property with Septic Installed. When buying a home Sellers are required to provide the Purchaser with a ROSS Report of System StatusO M Operation and Maintenance. Said report must not be more than 1. This inspection is done in two parts, first the inspection ports on the top of the tank will be unearthed for a visual inspection of the tank, second a flow test will be conducted sometimes using dye and running water through the system to see if the drain field is working properly. It is important to confirm that while one has been provided with a ROSS Report of System StatusO M Operation Maintenance, that the septic system when originally installed has a finale and signed off by the Whatcom County Health Department. In the event one wants to do an addition andor rebuilt on a site, a requirement of the building permit application is providing a copy of the original septic permit as approved and showing final inspection by the Whatcom County Health Department when the system was installed. For more detailed information about Septic systems and the permit process contact Whatcom County Health Department. GIRARD STREETBELLINGHAM, WA 9. PH 3. 60 3. 84 1. Septic System History. Back in the old days, the standard method of liquid waste disposal was to install a pipe from the house to the closest water body and let it all go down hill. After discovering this method of wastewater disposal pollutes our waterways, causes disease and can be lethal to humans and animals, newer methods were created. To help solve these initial problems, standard gravity soil treatment systems were introduced. This type of a system allowed the solids to settle out in a tank and the liquids to be filtered by gravity through the soil. Putting the liquid waste into the ground instead of straight into our surface water was a good first step, but other problems ensued. Sites with poor draining soils were found to sometimes perch a water table near the surface in the wintertime. Having a drainfield in a perched water table would oftentimes cause the system to back up into the house or cause pre mature failure. On sites with excessively well drained soils fractured rock, etc. There wasnt enough filter material dirt to filter the effluent before the pollutants made it into the aquifers. This caused contamination of our ground water which was also found to be a problem. Todays regulators have studied many of these problems previously experienced and changed the sewage regulations to help increase the life of our systems and also try and protect the public from contamination of surface and ground water. The rules are not perfect, but most have been created based on documented problems and scientific research. How they Work General. The septic system is a natural method of treating and disposing liquid household waste. The first component of all septic systems is the tank. Welcome to the RV Q and A.
