In addition to these standards, all required maintenance must be completed in a timely Individual Subsurface Treatment System manner. DO NOT SHUT THE BLOWER OFF (Notify your maintenance provider if it appears to be functioning improperly or if you will be leaving the property for an extended period of lime.) , Thank you for allowing us to help extend the life of your system! DISINFECTANTS OR BLEACHES ' Use in accordance with manufacturers recommendations and sparingly. Quaternary ammonia sanitizers (found Let us know if you have any questions. primarily in commercial settings) or pine oil cleaners should not be used. MEDICATIONS Normal use of over the counter medications should not affect the system. However, strong antibiotics or chemotherapy drugs have been known to severely disrupt the treatment process. Please notify your service provider of this kind of issue so they may be aware of the reason for the system upset, t DETERGENTS Should be low -suds, biodegradable, and low phosphate. (Some examples are: Arm & Hammer, ALL, and Ecolab® Products (commercial use)) PAPER PRODUCI'S Use white toilet paper products. Sonw natural bacteria do not eat color dyes in paper and therefore do not breakdown colored paper. Non -bleached paper (brown in color) takes a long time to breakdown due to the increased level of wood pulp. NO TOILET BOWL TAB LETS SHOULD BF USED. NO DISCHARGE FROM WATER SOFTENERS SHOULD GO INTO THE SYSTEM, NO ANIMAL, PAPS, SUCH AS BACON GREASE, LARD, OR ANY OTHER OILS SHOULD GO INTO THE SYSTEM. (Normal cleaning of pots and pans is acceptable). NO DRAIN CLEANERS SHOULD BE USED. (Vinegar and baking soda is good substitute. As a last resort chemical drain cleaners can be used, but use sparingly because they are toxic to the bacteria in the system.) NO LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENERS SHOULD BE USED. (These products typically contain quaternary ammonia which is toxic to the bacteria. Please use dryer sheets.)

Inspections can discover minor problems that could cause your dispersal field to fail resulting in considerable repair or replacement costs. Inspecting and maintaining your system properly can greatly increase its life, save money, protect water wells, and generally improve the environment. Below are some of the items we checked. Please read carefully and let us know if you have any questions. A. We removed the blower housing to clean the filter and check the blower for unusual noises or visible signs of electrical or mechanical problems. Pipe connections, vents, filters, blower, and electrical connections' do not appear to be in good order. B. The electrical panel switches and alarm were checked and Qo / do not seem to be working properly. C. The water turbulence in the Bio-Microbics FAST treatment uniVToes-Y does not appear to indicate there is adequate air coming from the blower. D. The aerobic vent pipe oes does not appear to be operating correctly. An obstructed vent will reduce treatment levels. The vent holes or opening should be equivalent to a 3" pipe. E. There was / as no a septic odor. When the aerobic system is working well, it receives enough oxygen to treat the quantity and quality of the waste load it is receiving. A slight musty odor is normal, especially, on heavy use days. F. The water coming from the FAST unit6a-Zy was not clear. Clear water indicates there is good quality water coming from a treatment process. Properly treated wastewater should be clear of solids and may have a slightly cloudy appearance. G. We checked the sludge depth in your septic tank and it appears your system does does no equire pumping. The septic settling tank should be pumped when the slu ge epth is 25% to 30% of the water depth in the tank. Please advise your pumper that each compartment and tank should be pumped when the septic settling compartment or tank needs pumping. H. The water depth in the tank(s does does not appear to be correct. An increased water depth may in is to ground water may be entering the tank from your field or there may be leaks in your tank. A low water level also may mean your tank is leaking. I. We looked for cracks or leaks in the tank risers and manhole covers and the do / do not appear to be normal. Leaks may allow water to enter your tank and overload your dispersal field. J. We checked for ponding in your dispersal field. There was 0 " of ponding. Significant ponding may indicate the field is developing a clogging mat, the water flow is too high or there is some other problem with the field. K. We checked the pumps and level control switches in the pump tank and the do do not appear to be working correctly. The pump counter reading is: /K A, L. Treated wastewater effluent analysis: �� DO,'7 ,Pj_Ph, ��O `� ° F Temp. Dissolved Oxygen is required for aerobic treatment, Ph significantly above or below 7 may indicate a toxic chemical presence and the temperature reading may help evaluate any treatment issue. M. Based on our visual inspection, your system does does not appear to us to be working properly with the proper quantity and quality of wastewater. You, your septic tank pumper or your system contractor may call any time to discuss this report. Whenever your tank(s) needs pumping, ask your pumper to clean and replace any effluent filters as needed, check the integrity of the tank and its baffles while it is empty. The tank(s) do not need to be emptied completely because a little biological sludge on the bottom helps the treatment to restart quickly when the system is put back into use. We did not enter the tanks or use equipment to examine underground components. Our inspection of your system included the primary observable indicators that usually indicate the system is or is not working properly. Our inspection certainly cannot guarantee there is nothing wrong with the system or that it may fail sooner than expected. Treatment conditions may change if there are significant changes in wastewater quantity or quality. Read the notice on the back page for good wastewater practices. Call your system installer or service provider if you suspect problems with your system or have any questions. We appreciate the opportunity to help you safeguard your system. With proper management and care your system can perform satisfactorily for many years. Comments & Suggestions: �' �'' .,� �.s ,.Lap fo� f, ni`nnI Un io:�, 0.

We removed the blower housing to clean the filter and check the blower for unusual noises or visible signs of electrical or mechanical problems. Pipe connections, vents, filters, blower, and electrical connection/ do not appear to be in good order.CAx,,--D•� B. The electrical panel switches and alarm were checked and(V do not seem to be working properly. C. The water turbulence in the Bio-Microbics FAST treatment un' does)1 does not appear to indicate there is adequate air coming from the blower. D. The aerobic vent pip do / does not appear to be operating correctly. An obstructed vent will reduce treatment levels. The vent holes or opening should be equivalent to a 3" pipe. E. There was / as no septic odor. When the aerobic system is working well, it receives enoug oxygen to treat the quantity and quality of the waste load it is receiving. A slight musty odor is normal, especially, on heavy use days. F. The water coming from the FAST uni w s was not clear. Clear water indicates there is good quality water coming from the treatment process. Properly treated wastewater should be clear of solids and may have a slightly cloudy appearance. G. We checked the sludge depth in your septic tank and it appears your system does oes no require pumping. The septic settling tank should be pumped when the sludge depth is 25% to 30% of the water depth in the tank. Please advise your pumper that each compartment and tank should be pumped when the septic settling compartment or tank needs pumping. 9 / 4 11 c H. The water depth in the tank(s does not appear to be correct. An increased water depth may indicate ground water may be entering the tank from your field or there may be leaks in your tank. A low water level also may mean your.tank is leaking. I. We looked for cracks or leaks in the tank risers and manhole covers and th do / do not appear to be normal. Leaks may allow water to enter your tank and overload your dispersal field. J. We checked for ponding in your dispersal field. There was 0 " of ponding. Significant ponding may indicate the field is developing a clogging mat, the water flow is too high or there is some other problem with the field. K. We checked the pumps and level control switches in the pump tank and the)/ do not appear to be working correctly. The pump counter reading is: IV4 , L. Treated wastewater effluent analysis: q,-P' DO, -7 -Y Ph,'541e ° F Temp. Dissolved Oxygen is required for aerobic treatment, Ph significantly above or below 7 may indicate a toxic chemical presence and the temperature reading may help evaluate any treatment issue. M. Based on our visual inspection, your syste oes / does not appear to us to be working properly with the proper quantity and quality of wastewater. You, your septic tank pumper or your system contractor may call any time to discuss this report. Whenever your tank(s) needs pumping, ask your pumper to clean and replace any effluent filters as needed, check the integrity of the tank and its baffles while it is empty. The tank(s) do not need to be emptied completely because a little biological sludge on the bottom helps the treatment to restart quickly when the system is put back into use. We did not enter the tanks or use equipment to examine underground components. Our inspection of your system included the primary observable indicators that usually indicate the system is or is not working properly. Our inspection certainly cannot guarantee there is nothing wrong with the system or that it may fail sooner than expected. Treatment conditions may change Ef there are significant changes in wastewater quantity or quality. Read the notice on the back page for good wastewater practices. Call your system installer or service provider if you suspect problems with your system or have any questions. We appreciate the opportunity to help you safeguard your system. With proper management and care your system can perform satisfactorily for many years. Comments & Suggestions:
