(Verified A+ Pass)
1. NSF Standard #14 - ANSWER A National Sanitation Foundation Standard
relating to thermoplastics which have been tested and found satisfactory
for potable water supply uses, drains, waste, and vent applications
2. Nonwater-Carried Sewage Treatment System - ANSWER A self-
contained system for waste treatment (such as a biological, composting, or
incinerating toilet) that stores, treats, and renders human urine and feces
inert without the use of water and that is designed to not discharge into the
soil, onto the soil surface, into bodies of water, or other external media.
3. Onsite Wastewater (OSWW) System - ANSWER system, generally
consisting of a collection sewer, septic tank(s), and subsurface wastewater
infiltration area, designed to treat and dispose of domestic wastewater
through a combination of natural processes that ultimately result in effluent
being transmitted through the soil, renovated, and ultimately discharged to
groundwater. An onsite wastewater system shall also include an onsite
wastewater system, as described above, for the treatment and disposal of
gray water
,4. Small Onsite Wastewater System - ANSWER An individual system
serving an individually deeded dwelling or business that generates less than
fifteen hundred (1500) gpd of domestic wastewater. Management and
maintenance of each system is the responsibility of the individual property
owner
5. Large Onsite Wastewater System (General) - ANSWER An individual
system that treats and disposes of domestic wastewater discharges in
excess of fifteen hundred (1500) gpd.
6. Privately Owned Large System - ANSWER A large onsite wastewater
collection and treatment system that serves one (1) piece of deeded
property such as a school, adult residential care facility, rental apartment
complex, shopping center, campground, mobile home park, office complex,
etc. Management and maintenance of the system is the responsibility of the
individual property owner.
7. Community (Cluster) System - ANSWER A wastewater collection and
treatment system that provides shared collection, treatment, and disposal
of domestic wastewater from multiple parcels or multiple units of
individually deeded property. Such a system might serve a small subdivision
or a condominium complex. It is imperative with such systems that some
form of common ownership and management be established and approved
by the Department.
8. Commercial Onsite Wastewater System - ANSWER An onsite
wastewater system generating domestic wastewater or sewage that serves
a facility, other than a private dwelling, intended for the engagement of
commerce.
, 9. Operation and Maintenance - ANSWER Activities including tests,
measurements, adjustments, replacements, and repairs that are intended
to maintain all functional units of the onsite wastewater system in a manner
that will allow the system to function as designed.
10.Other Sewage Holding System - ANSWER Components of a sewer
system or holding tank not related to an onsite wastewater system,
including grease traps.
11.Parent Material - ANSWER The unconsolidated and chemically
weathered mineral or organic matter from which the column of soils is
developed by pedogenic processes
12.Perched Zone of Saturation (Episaturation) - ANSWER A zone of
saturation above an unsaturated zone
13.Permit - ANSWER A written document or documents issued by the
Department authorizing the construction and operation of an onsite
wastewater system, nonwater-carried sewage treatment system,
wastewater combustion system, or gray water subsurface reuse system
under this regulation. The term "permit" includes the permit to construct
and the approval to operate, both of which are required prior to operation
of a system under this regulation. Upon installation of a permitted system
and Department issuance of an approval to operate, the construction and
operation permit remains in effect for the life of the onsite wastewater
system that it authorizes.
