MassDEP on the World Wide Web: http://www.mass.gov/dep 0 Printed on Recycled Paper The Clean Solution, Certification for General Use Page 2 of 6 I. Purpose 1. The purpose of this Certification is to allow the use of the System in Massachusetts on a General Use basis. 2. With the necessary permits and approvals required by 310 CMR 15.000, this Certification authorizes the installation and use of the System in Massachusetts. 3. The System may be installed on all facilities where a system in compliance with 310 CMR 15.000 exists on site or will be built and for which a site evaluation in compliance with 310 CMR 15.000 has been approved by the local approving authority; or by DEP if DEP approval is required by 310 CMR 15.000. This certification does not allow the use of the System on facilities for nitrogen reduction in a Department designated nitrogen sensitive or limited area as defined in 310 CMR 15.214 and 15.215. 4. The System is approved for use at facilities with a maximum design flow of less than 10,000 gallons per day. II. Design Standards 1. The System is a submerged media attached growth biological treatment unit designed to treat sanitary wastewater. The effluent from a Title 5 septic tank or from the System's integral septic tank, flows into the BioCon unit. The BioCon unit contains plastic media providing the surface contact area for bacterial growth and wastewater treatment. The wastewater is continuously recirculated over the plastic media. A compressor provides the air for continuous mixing of the contents in the BioCon unit and to prevent clogging. Effluent from the BioCon unit flows by gravity into the settling compartment, and pump tank if applicable. Sludge is settled, and the treated effluent is then pumped to the soil absorption field (SAS) for final disposal. Sludge settled in the System requires periodic removal. 2. The Company shall conduct an intended use review of the System prior to the sale of any non-residential unit, or any System with a design flow of 3,000 GPD or greater, to ensure that the proposed use of the System is consistent with the unit's capabilities. 3. Models 250, 250PT, 600 and 2000 shall be installed between a septic tank and the effluent disposal system, constructed in accordance with 310 CMR 15.100 - 15.279, subject to the provisions of this Approval. 4. Models 250ST3 and 250ST4 include an integral septic tank. A separate septic tank is not required. 5. Access shall be provided to all tanks in the System in accordance with 310 CMR 15.228 (2). Septic tanks and Systems with integrated septic tanks, BioCon tanks and settling compartments shall have at least three manholes with readily removable impermeable covers of durable material provided at finished grade. Multi-compartment tanks shall have a manhole over each compartment with a The Clean Solution,Certification for General Use Page 3 of 6 minimum opening of 20 inches. Access ports, manhole covers and cleanouts shall be installed and maintained at finished grade to allow for maintenance of the System. 6. Control panel(s) including alarms and controls shall be mounted in a location accessible to the System operator. III. General Conditions 1. All provisions of 310 CMR 15.000 are applicable to the use of this System, the owner, and the Company, except those, which specifically have been varied by the terms of this Certification. 2. Any required operation and maintenance, monitoring and testing shall be performed in accordance with a Department approved plan. Any required sample analysis shall be conducted by an independent U.S. EPA or DEP approved testing laboratory. It shall be a violation of this Certification to falsify any data collected pursuant to an approved testing plan,to omit any required data or to fail to submit any report required by such plan. 3. The facility served by the System and the System itself shall be open to inspection and sampling by the Department and the local approving authority at all reasonable times. 4. In accordance with applicable law, the Department or the local approving authority may require the owner of the System to cease operation of the System and/or to take any other action as it deems necessary to protect public health, safety, welfare and the environment. 5. The Department has not determined that the performance of the System will provide a level of protection to public health and safety and the environment that is at least equivalent to that of a sewer system. Accordingly, no System shall be upgraded or expanded, if it is feasible to connect the facility to a sanitary sewer, unless as allowed by 310 CMR 15.004. 6. Design and installation and use of the System shall be in strict conformance with the Company's DEP approved plans and specifications and 310 CMR 15.000, subject to this Certification. IV. Conditions Applicable to the System Owner 1. The System is certified only in connection with the discharge of sanitary wastewater. Any non-sanitary wastewater generated or used at the facility served by the System shall not be introduced into the System and shall be lawfully disposed of. 2. The System owner shall have the Company or its designee conduct an intended use review for any proposed non-residential System, or System with a design flow of 3,000 gpd or greater to ensure that the proposed use of the System is consistent with the unit's capabilities.
