Mound system definition

Mound system means an aboveground dispersal system (covered sand bed with effluent leach field elevated above original ground surface inside) used to enhance soil treatment, dispersal, and absorption of effluent discharged from an OWTS treatment unit such as a septic tank. Mound systems have a subsurface discharge.

Mound system means an aboveground soil absorption system used to disperse effluent from septic tanks in cases in which a seasonally high water table, high bedrock conditions, slowly permeable soils, or limited land areas prevent conventional subsurface soil absorption systems.

Mound system means an alternative onsite wastewater system where the bottom of the absorption system is placed above the elevation of the original site, and the absorption system is contained in a mounded fill body above that grade.

More Definitions of Mound system

Mound system means a soil treatment and dispersal system designed and installed such that all of the infiltrative surface is installed above grade, using clean sand between the bottom of the infiltrative surface and the original ground elevation utilizing pressure distribution and capped with suitable material to stabilize the surface and encourage vegetative growth.

Mound system means an onsite wastewater system where any part of the absorption surface is above the elevation of the existing site grade and the absorption surface is contained in a mounded fill body above the grade.

Mound system means an onsite wastewater treatment system that includes a septic tank for primary treatment, an effluent pumping system, and a soil absorption system that includes a pressurized effluent distribution system within a prescribed layer of rock or acceptable treatment media that is elevated above the original ground surface by a layer of clean sand. The distribution system is pressure dosed to provide uniform distribution of effluent over the entire layer of treatment media, and treatment media is capped by a protective layer of geotextile fabric (to prevent fine material intrusion from the soil), soil, and grass.

Mound system means a soil absorption system which is installed in or below an artificially created mound or earth.

Mound system means a dispersal system (covered sand bed with effluent leach field elevated above original ground surface inside the mound) used to enhance soil treatment, dispersal, and absorption of effluent from an OWTS treatment unit such as a septic tank. Mound systems are considered subsurface discharge.

Mound system means an alternative sewage disposal system used on sites not meeting the criteria established by this Ordinance for mound systems.

Mound system means a septic system approved by the Indiana State Board of Health that consists of a septic tank and a pump tank with an effluent pump which transports effluent under pressure to a raised soil absorption field with pressurized septic pipe embedded in sand.
