16.  25 ft in a clay soil, i.e. soil absorption rate (Ra) < 0.1 gal/sf/day,  75 ft in a soil predominantly sand, i.e. Ra > 0.1; Or may be 50 ft with secondary (aerobic) treatment and disinfection

17. In the latter case, to place a drip disposal area 50 ft from a body of water in a predominantly sandy soil, aerobic treatment and disinfection is required  Continuous chlorination is not recommended by some manufacturers  UV disinfection is an alternative

20.  All components of an OSSF must be 1 ft from the easement, unless permission is granted by the easement holder  Easements are recorded with the County Clerk’s office. Other sources are recorded plats & some surveys

21.  Distance to tanks, drip system disposal area, soil absorption systems is 1 ft  A surface application spray area may spray to the edge of the easement

22. Is there an underground easement on this site?  County clerk’s office has recorded easement or easement abandonment documents  “Call before you dig” & other utility location services  Fence line markers  Survey  Subdivision plat  Title Search

23.  Distance to tanks is 5 ft  Distance to sewer pipe is 10 ft  Distance to surface application area,10 ft  Distance to drip disposal area is 10 ft when Ra 0.1

24.  No minimum distance to the edge of a surface application (spray) area  No minimum distance to a drip irrigation disposal area  Tanks and sewer pipes with untreated sewage must be 5 ft away
