Wisconsin Mound and Area Fill
The Wisconsin mound wastewater soil absorption system 1970's
was developed in the early
The Wisconsin mound wastewater soil absorption system in-ground gravity flow trench or bed soil absorption systems were restricted
is used on sites with specific site characteristics where
, The Wisconsin mound system is not suited for all sites True
There are two basic types of systems that use fill materials the Wisconsin Mound Soil Absorption System [mound system] and the area fill
system
Wisconsin mound systems consist of a septic tank, a dosing chamber, and the mound
The septic system does this removes most of the settable solids and is a place for liquefaction of the more
easily biodegradable solids
The dosing tank contains a pump or siphon
The pump or siphon does this pressurizes a distribution network of small diameter pipe with small perforations
and distributes the septic tank effluent, and with the native soil, treat and purify the
wastewater to acceptable standards
The mound consists of a layer of suitable sand, aggregate, distribution system, and soil cover
It is not usual to see Wisconsin mound systems receiving True
wastewater flows in excess of 25,000 gpd
The designer of on-site wastewater treatment and a basic understanding of water movement into and through the soil
disposal systems must have
Depending on the type of soil profile, effluent moves away from the site vertically, horizontally or a combination of both
There must be a_____ft suitable soil separation 2
The suitable depth of unsaturated soil varies among 1 and 4
codes but usually is between ___ and ___ ft.
For the mound system, the suitable depth consists of the distance from the ground surface to the limiting condition below the ground
surface, plus the depth of sand between the ground surface and the infiltrative
surface within the mound
For the at-grade system, the suitable depth is from the ground surface to the limiting condition
If the code required a 2 ft of suitable soil and the site True
distance was greater than two feet but less than required
for an in-ground system, an at-grade system would be
better suited than a mound system for the site
If the distance of suitable soil was less than 2 ft, a mound True
system may be appropriate
The soil evaluator shall work with who to insure proper the designer and installers
use of the site
Design configuration, loading rates, and construction are True
very critical for the successful functioning of the systems
Wisconsin Mound sizing criteria requires both a basal and linear loading rate
