Secretarys Ridge Lot 15 - Lees Branch LLC - SAL Page 10 of 12 NOTICE TO OWNERS AND SEPTIC SYSTEM INSTALLATION CONTRACTORS GeoEnvironmental Services, Inc. (GESI) will be required to inspect the installation of the septic system and generate a completion statement for the health department. There will be a fee charged to the installation contractor for this inspection. Installation contractors may call GESI at 804-730- 8220 prior to bidding the installation of the system to determine fees for this inspection. A Completion Statement from GESI will not be released until our invoice for the inspection(s) is paid in full. GESI requires a minimum 48 hours notice be given prior to an inspection. It is recommended that as many of the components of the septic system as possible be installed, exposed, and operational during the inspection (including pumps) in order to limit the number of site visits. Failure to give an advanced notice of 48 hours to schedule an inspection may result in additional inspection fees for potential scheduling conflicts. Multiple site visits to inspect incomplete work or work that requires modifications will result in additional inspection fees. Virginia law requires all septic systems be installed by a DPOR Licensed Onsite Sewage System (Septic) Installer. Owners that contract with an installer that is not properly licensed may be subject to action that relieves the OSE and the septic system design Company from any and all liability for the performance of the sewage disposal system. Failure of the installation contractor to prepare the soil absorption area or install the sewage disposal system in accordance with the plans and specifications of the design professional will result in action that relieves the OSE and the septic system design Company from any and all liability for the performance of the sewage disposal system. Secretarys Ridge Lot 15 - Lees Branch LLC - SAL Page 11 of 12 *ATTENTION* The installation contractor must install the sewage disposal system in accordance with the plans and specifications contained herein. No modifications or component substitutions should be made without prior authorization from the OSE. Failure to install the sewage disposal system as planned and specified by the OSE may result in action to void the permit. A pre -construction investigation may be required prior to the installation of the sewage disposal system. The installation contractor must contact the OSE prior to the installation to schedule the pre - construction meeting if there are any questions about the plans and specifications contained herein or the soil absorption area has been altered or impacted in any way. Soil absorption areas (drainfield) are very sensitive and require protection from grading and compaction or encroachment by heavy equipment and any other construction activity not related to the septic system installation. Regardless of the depth of the proposed installation, the soil absorption area is an extremely sensitive environmental resource that requires protection. The drainfield must be installed during "DRY SOIL CONDITIONS". It is important that clearing, grading and construction work in the vicinity of the drainfield be carefully planned to protect the septic system being proposed. The drainfield should be protected from vehicular and construction traffic and cannot be used for storage of construction materials. If trench lines in the drainfield are designed to be installed at 18-24" additional protection is required. No heavy machinery may be used to clear the drainfield. It is very important that the soils are not compacted and that topsoil is not removed during clearing. Wooded sites should have the leaf litter remaining after the trees are removed. Trees larger than 12 inches in diameter 3.0 feet above the soil surface are to be cut as near the soil surface as possible and the stump left in place. Stumps are not to be removed by excavation with a backhoe! Stump removal should be done with a stump grinder. The maximum depth of stump grinding is 18 inches below the natural soil surface. The site is not to be "root -raked". Secretarys Ridge Lot 15 - Lee's Branch LLC - SAL Page 12 of 12 FACTS EVERY SEPTIC SYSTEM OWNER SHOULD KNOW Before installing your system: • Rope off the area of your system and protect it from vehicles. • Caution your builder to avoid system area during home construction. • Do not allow stripping of top soil or grading in the area of the system. • Do not allow system installation in wet or frozen soil conditions. Soil must be loose, dry, unsmeared, and uncompacted. • Keep downspout and footer drains out of your septic system. • Seed your system area as soon as weather permits. • Divert all surface water from system area. Conserve water: • Water conservation prolongs your system life, saves you money, and need not be a personal inconvenience. • Install low flow showerheads, faucet aerators, and install toilet bottle kits or tank displacement devices (if new construction purchase low flow commodes). These devices can save a family of four over 100 gallons per day. Cost for these devices is only about $20-70 and will save $100-300 each year. • See your local plumbing supplier and most major department stores. • Purchase a front loading washer, they use 1/3 less water than top loaders. • Take showers, they use less water than baths. • Promptly repair leaky faucets. • Use the clothes washer and dishwasher only when you have full loads. • Contact your local DER office for more information. Pump your septic tank: • Septic tanks must be pumped regularly (at least every 2-3 years) • Tank pumping helps prevent more expensive system problems. Waiting for evidence of system problems (spongy lawn or sluggish toilet) may be too late for pumping to help. • Pump your tank through large central manhole, not the small baffle opening. • Be sure tank pumper agitates tank contents before pumping. Solids and floating scum must bemixedbefore removal. • Carefully mark the location of your septic tank. • Sewage grinders and garbage disposals increase solids build-up in your tank. More frequent pumping should occur. • Never enter a septic tank. • Information on septic system maintenance can be obtained from the local V DH office. Helpful Hints: • Place a copy of your sewage permit and yellow application in a safe place. This information will be important for future use. • No septic tank additives have been proven beneficial for septic tank operation. Some may even be harmful. Regular tank pumping is the best advice to prolong your system's life. • Before repairing or replacing your system (even a new septic tank), a new sewage permit from the municipal sewage enforcement officer will be needed.
