Section 383.42. Application.  


Latest version.
  • (1) Design basis. The design of a POWTS shall be based on the methods and limitations outlined in this subchapter or on other documented data acceptable to the department.
    (2) Design relation to actual flows and contaminant loads. For any situation where it is known that the wastewater flow or contaminant load exceeds the parameters of this subchapter, the POWTS shall be designed in relation to the known flow or load.
    (3) Design considerations. The evidence to support assertions relative to contaminant reduction and hydraulic dispersal shall include at least all of the following:
    (a) The flow and contaminant load of the influent wastewater.
    (b) The ability of all treatment and dispersal components to reduce contaminant load and disperse hydraulic flow into the environment.
    (c) The flow velocities and friction losses throughout the system based upon accepted engineering practice.
