ALASKA nUlRorlm{!nTAL CONTROL S{!RUIC{!S, ~n~ineerinq ~- ~nuironmental InC. December 12, 1984 Municipality of Anchorage Department of Health and Environmental Protection 825 L Street Anchorage, AK 99501 264-4720 Attn: Cathy Benediktsson Dear Cathy: This report is an investigation of the practicability of adapting a tank with an elliptical cross section that appears to have been previously used as a bulk fuel transport vessel, for use as a septic tank. A design was completed on October 15, 1984 and included a letter to Mr. Feeney regarding clarification of the proposed configuration of the tank. The Uniform Plumbing Code, UPC, deals mostly with the internal dimensions of a septic tank and has two guidelines for required ~ strength. These are lid strength and the gauge of steel to be used. Since the tank may not have been a pressure vessel, which is assumed for these calculations, the strength required may or may not be adequate for this use. However, if proper installation procedures are followed, it may serve the desired purpose. The existing tank has three compartments with the middle compartment having a manhole in the top. There are signs of varying degrees of corrosion ranging from superficial or surface rust to moderate or surface pitting. Photographs of two baffle ports and the bottom of the middle compartment were made on November 1, 1984. There is a large dent in the side of one tank near one end. The corrosion and dent may be factors determining the performance of the unit over a long period of time especially if it may somehow be subjected to live loads induced by large vehicles or equipment. A horizontally placed elliptic cylindrical tank does not have the even pressure distribution characteristics around the exterior that a circular cylinder will have. Therefore, certain precautions should be taken since excess loading will have greater effect on structural stability. It is recommended that the bulkhead existing in the proposed first compartment remain. This bulkhead should be modified to resemble the sketch in Fig. 2 to aid in strength against crushing forces, desired flow characteristics through the tank and sludge removal. Installation will have to be executed carefully. The tank should be placed on undisturbed, unfrozen ground and backfilled with well compacted NFS sand placed in 6 inch lifts. This compacted backfill should extend to a depth that is about 6 inches above the middle of the 1200 West 33rd Auenue. Suite [~ · Anc}~erc[cje. Alo~a 99503 · [907] 561-50z~0 side of the tank. Less compaction will be needed above this point but should not be placed as loose fill. Burial depth is not recommended below 4 feet and rigid board insulation should extend a minimum of 1 foot beyond the most extreme edge of the tank on all sides. This is to help minimize the influence of frozen ground on the tank. The tank will have to be brushed with a wire brush of some sort to remove all rust from the interior and exterior surfaces. Ail loose material must be removed from the inside of the tank prior to application of any coating. Bitumastic paint or equal will have to be applied so that no bare metal is visible. All calculations assume a worse loading condition. Earth dead loads are calculated using depths of soil measured from the horizontal axis of the tank to the finish grade of the ground surface. This weight is then applied to the upper half of the shell of the tank. Should you have any questions regarding this unit please feel free to contact me at AECS. Sincerely, Steven F.

Feeney's application for an "on-site sewer permit"° Since August 10, 1984 our Environmental Engineering section has worked with Mr. Feeney in an effort to comply with his requests. In designing an on-site wastewater disposal system it is critical that tha subsurface absorption system be installed4' or more above the know shallow groundwater level. On August 11, 1984, it was specifi- cally explained to Mr. Feeney that a current water monitoring test would be necessary because shallow groundwater in this area was a problem and could contribute to the premature failure of his system. Mr. Feeney insists that his permit should be issued based on the results of a soils test taken in early 1982 which showed groundwater seeps at a depth of 7'. This three year old test is not acceptable for the following reasons: 1. There was no monitoring of the groundwater table during the 1982 soils test which would indicate the depth to the pgabilize~ groundwater table. 2. The groundwater table in this area has risen and is in all probability ~ at a depth of less than 7'° During the last conversation with Mr. Feeney (on February 6, 1985), he was advised that his permit would be issued within 15 minutes after he furnished the needed information on the groundwater table° This office has many hours and has "gone the extra mile" in trying to help Mr. Feeney, and we have very patiently and tolerantly withstood his verbal abuse and ~hreats.

Please provide a written statement commenting on this matter° Thank you kindly for your consideration. Date RE-'Y MEMORANDUM DATE: February 8, 1985 TO: Commissioner of Public Safety FROM: SUBJECT: Manager, Environmental Health Division ~Y~-- On-site Sewer Permit Request by Mr. Richard Feeney S/2 Lot 3 SW/4 Sec 3-TllN-R3W SM This memorandum will furnish a chronological summary of all the events contri- buting to Mr. Feeney's obvious state of frustration and dissatisfaction with this department° On May 7, 1982, an On-site Sewer Permit (No. 820275) was issued for a single family 4 bedroom residence on the subject lot. This permit was issued on the basis of a soils test taken on May 5, 1982 which indicated that groundwater was encountered (but not monitored) at a depth of 7'. On May 17, 1982, a well was completed on the subject lot to a depth of 250' (in bedrock) with a completion productivity of 3 gallons per minute. It should be noted that we have no record of an On-site Well Permit being issued for this well. 3o On January 31, 1983, the applicant was advised that the On-site Sewer Permit (Noo 820275) had expired due to lack of activity° 4° On or about August 10, 1984, Mr. Feeney contacted Mr. Bandt of this office requesting two things namely (1) an on-site sewer permit for the subject lot and (2) permission to convert a recovered fuel tank into a septic tank for use in bis on-site system. On the day following Mr. Feeney's application (on or about August 11, 1984) Ms. Benediktsson from this office called Mr. Feeney about additional infor- mation needed regarding the old soil test and the slope conditions of the loto It was specifically explained to Mr. Feeney that a water monitoring test would be necessary because shallow groundwater in this area was a problem and could contribute to premature failure of the system. Mr. Feeney was more concerned about being able to convert his fuel tank to a septic tank than he was about the data required for his on-site permit~ and he advised that he would obtain drawings and specifications on the fuel tank. Mr. Feeney was reminded again to obtain the additional data required for his on-site sewer permit. On September 11, 1984, Ms. Benediktsson called Mr. Feeney to reiterate our requirement for a 7 day groundwater monitoring test, for slope information on the lot in the area of the proposed on-site system and the house, and for a certificate to construct and/or operate (from the Alaska DEC) a com- munity water system to serve his existing house and the proposed new house. Mr. Feeney advised that his plans had been changed and that he no longer planned to construct the second house on the lot, and would therefore not need the state DEC approval for a community water system. Commissioner of Public Safety February 8, 1985 Page 2 10. 11o On or about September 13, 1984, Mro Feeney provided this office with a drawing (apparently prepared by himself) of a 10' long elliptical steel tank, a volume/gauge table for this tank, and a plot plan of his lot showing the location of the proposed on-site sewer system and the location of the existing and proposed future house sites. 12o On or about September 18, 1984, Mr. Feeney brought to this office a copy of the log of a well on his lot drilled in May, 1982, a copy of the original soils test taken in May 1982, and a copy of a water analysis report from a sample of water collected from his well. At this time, both Ms. Benediktsson and Mr. John Kennedy verified with me that we would not issue the on-site sewer permit without an updated and current groundwater level test° Mr. Feeney was angry and adamant about this request, and argued that the groundwater level had already been determined on the origi- nal soil test. I tried to explain to Mr. Feeney that the groundwateH table was critical in the design of a disposal system, and that the current depth to groundwater could have changed in the last two and a half years° Mro Feeney indicated that he would contact several engineers who would lend support to his request to use the old soil test data. 9. On September 18, 1984, Mso Benediktsson advised Mr. Feeney by letter of the requirements that must be addressed and satisfied for the fuel tank to be used as a septic tank° At this time , in an effort to expedite Mr° Feeney's request, I had Mso Benediktsson call Mro Feeney and advise him of these requirements. Mr° Feeney was extremely argumentative and abusive, and indicated that he would not tolerate "all of this bureaucratic red tape." During the next several weeks I spoke with Mr. Feeney numerous times trying to be of assistence but he continued to be very abusive and argumentative° He did indicate however that he had hired Alaska Environmental Control Services (AECS) to provide the required information on the fuel tank. On or about October 17, 1984 Mr. Feeney came to my office with a letter from AECS addressing the fuel tank and the requirements necessary for this tank to be utilized as a septic tank. I told Mr° Feeney that I would have Ms. Benediktsson review the information provided by AECS, and if everything was in order, we would allow the tank to be used as a septic tank. On or about October 22, 1984, Ms. Benediktsson and Mr. Bandt discussed the AECS letter with me and discussed the items which still had not been addressed, namely the structural integrity of the tank for burial and the corrosion condition of the internals and externals of the tank. During this discussion, I called Mr. Steven Cords (engineer with AECS) and advised him of our concerns. Mr, Cords was reluctant to make any commitment as to whether or not the tank could be safely buried. On October 26, 1984, Mr. Feeney called me inquiring as to the status of his request to use the fuel tank as a septic tank. I attempted to tell Mr. Commissionnr of Public Safety February 8, 1985 Page 3 13. 14. 15. 16. Feeney of the information we still needed and he again became very argnmen- tative and abusive° I asked Mr. Feeney if he could come to my office at which time we could discuss in detail exactly what we needed. Mr. Feeney said that he would come to my office on the following Monday. On October 29, 1984, Mr. Feeney arrived in my office in an extremely agi- tated state, and demanded that I immediately issue him a permit to use the fuel tank as a septic tank. I called Ms. Beneditksson and Mr. Bandt into my office so that Mr. Feeney's problem could be jointly discussed. During this joint meeting I called Mr° Leroy Reid of AECS on my office speaker phone and we discussed our concern about whether or mot the tank was corroded, and also inquired as to the structural integrity of the tank. Mr. Reid advised that to his best recollection the tank was not severely corroded, and that he would have his engineer inspect the tank and advise us accordingly° I attempted to point out to Mr. Feeney that the approval to use the tank as a seotic tank was not our only problem, and that we still needed confirmation on the location of the groundwater depth before we would issue an On-site Sewer Permit. Mr. Feeney again became exceedingly abusive and insisted that the soil test taken in 1982 would have to suffice. I tried again to explain that it was for his protection and benefit that we know where the groundwater table was now because if it was shallower than 7 feet (the depth in 1982) his system would prematurely failo Mr. Feeney left in a fit of anger saying that he would take this all the way to the Mayor° On November 1, 1984, I received a hand carried memo from Mr. Cords with AECS advising that in his opinion the tank was not too severely corroded however he also advised that the tank should internally and externally be coated prior to being used as a septic tank. Subsequent to receiving this memo, I contacted Mr. Reid with AECS and asked if he could or would guaran- tee that this tank would withstand being buried. Mr. Reid would not give any such guarantee but advised that he would have his engineer make the required mathematical analysis and advise me accordingly. After approximately three weeks, Mr. Feeney contacted our office several times and each time was extremely argumentative and abusive. I fidally told Mr. Bandt and Ms° Benediktsson that I would be the only one to talk to Mr. Feeney because I didn't want them further involved in this very voli- tile situation with Mr. Feeney. In several subsequent telephone conver- sations which Mr. Feeney, he repeatedly stated that he didn't have to put up with this bureaucratic red tape, and that he would advise the Mayor of the treatment he was receiving. My attempt to help Mr. Feeney and to somehow allay his emotional distress was to no avail. On December 15, 1984, I received a letter from Mr. Steven Cords with AECS which finally addressed the structural integrity of the tank. The findings of AECS were somewhat nebulous, and the following are excerpts from this letter: Commissioner of Public Safety February 8, 1985 Page 4 17. 18o "Since the tank may not have been a pressure vessel, which is assumed for these calculations~ the strength required may or may not be ade- quate for this use. "There are signs of varying degrees of corrosion ranging from super- ficial or surface rust to moderate or surface pitting°" "There is a large dent in the side of one tank near the end." "A horizontally placed elliptic cylindrical tank does not have the even pressure distribution characteristics around the exterior that a cir- cular cylinder will have°" "It is recommended that the bulkhead existing in the proposed first compartment remain° This bulkhead should be modified to resemble the sketch in Fig.2 to aid in strength against crushing forces, desired flow characteristics through the tank, and sludge removal." "Installation will have to be executed carefully." "The tank should be placed on undisturbed~ unfrozen ground and back- filled with well compacted NFS sand placed in 6 Inch lifts°" "The tank will have to be brushed with a wire brush of some sort to remove all rust from the interior and exterior surfaces." "Bitumastic paint or equal will have to be applied so that no bare metal is visible." Upon receipt of the above referenced letter, Mr. Bandt, Ms. Benediktsson, and myself discussed in detail whether or not we should permit this tank to be used as a septic tank. It was obvious to each of us that AECS, as indi- cated by their letter, also was reluctant to recommend its use. One of our mutual concerns is with the liability exposure to the Municipality if the subject property is sold and the Health Authority Approval CertiPicate indicated to the new owner that the on-site sewer system meets all Municipal requirements. In one last effort to work with Mr° Feeney, it was decided to allow Mr. Feeney to use the tank as a septic tank, however, the Municipality would assume no responsibility or liability for the tank in the event of its subsequent collapse or failure, and would so indicate on any future Health Authority Approval. On January 4, 1985, a letter was sent (to Mr. Feeney's address indicated on his application for an on-site sewer permit) to Mr. Feeney advising him as to our decision to allow the tank to be used as a septic tank, and to the conditions attached there to. In all of our conversation between October 20, 1984 and late December, 1984, Mr° Feeney was only concerned with having his tank approved for septic service. Commissioner of Public Safety February 8, 1985 Page 5 19. On or about January 16, 1985, I received telephone calls from both Carol Rion and Commissioner Franklin's offices inquiring as to the status of the Feeney problem° It was of this time that I discovered that my letter to Mro Feeney dated January 4, 1985, had been returned to "sender" on January 14~ 1985o A duplicate of the original letter was made immediately and picked up by Mr. Feeney shortly thereafter. 20° On February 6, 1985, Mr° Feeney called me and inquired when I was going to issue his on-site sewer permit. I once again tried to explain to Mr. Feeney why I needed to know if the depth to groundwater had changed since 1982 as it has, generally, throughout the Municipality. I also tried to explain to Mr. Feeney that I needed the slope information to determine whether or not a lift station would be needed between his septic tank and the subsurface disposal field. Mr. Feeney advised that there was a 15 to 20 foot drop in elevation between his house and the proposed septic system site° I told Mr. Feeney that this information would suffice for the slope but that I still needed the groundwater information before I would design his system and issue the on-site sewer permit. Mr. Feeney again became extremely abusive and denied having ever discussed the groundwater require- ment in any prior conversations. I tried to assure Mr. Feeney that I would personally issue his permit within fifteen minutes after receiving the necessary groundwater information. Once again Mr. Feeney said that he was going to the Mayor and to the press and expose this bureaucratic nonsense. In conclusion, I believe this office has "gone the extra mile" in trying to help Mr. Feeney, and h~ve patiently and tolerantly withstood his repeated verbal abuse and threats° We have, from the very onset, been explicit and consistant in our requirements of Mr° Feeney, and there have been no "additional require- ments'' imposed on Mr. Feeney. Considering the thousands of on-site permit applications handled during the past several years under the same requirements, I do not see the necessity "for procedural or policy changes to assure that this sort of thing does not happen again°" · Robbie Robinson cc: ,Jewel Jones, Director Dr. Rodman Wilson, Deputy Director Carol Rion RR1-2/ra/d7 ~uNtCiPALt'I'Y OF ANCHORAGE NiEN~ORANDU~ RECEIVED JAN3 ! 1985 MUNICIPALITY OF ANCH0,~AGE OFFICE OF PUBLIC SAFE'p,, OFFICE OF THE MAYOR MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE POUCH 6-650 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99502 Jan. 30, 1985 Mary Ann: Please track the response to Fenney's letter.

Brandt of the Municipality of Anchorage, Environmental Health Divisions regarding filing for a current sewage septic system permit for the land I have lived at since October, 1979. The south ~ of Lotl 3, south west ¼ of Section 3, Township 11 north, Range 3 west of the Seward Heridian. I also asked for approval of plans to modify a 1480 gallon Army surplus fuel storage tank (like one used on a tanker truck to a septic tank). Mr. Brandt said it would take one to two weeks before Ms. Benedictksson could review the information submitted. At this point I submitted a copy of the following: 1 May 7, 1982 expired Municipal Approved permit 2) Plans of a 1480 gallon horizontal elliptical tank; a) a scale drawing, and b) a gage chart of horizontal ellip- tical tank gallon percentages 3) A plot plan showing existing house, water well and proposed septic system. I asked if any other information was needed to obtain my permit and Hr. Brandt said I was only lacking the following: 1) Water well log from driller 2) Water analysis report of total Coliform Bacteria 3) Slope percentage on May 7, 1982 soil test report On September 18, 1984, .z~,copy of the following: .//? 1) ~ 3) I supplied Ms. Benedictksson with a Water well log from driller Water analysis report of total Coliform Bacteria Slope percentage on May 7, 1982 soil test report The Slope percentage report submitted was not accepted because it did not' have a raised seal. It was a photo copy of the raised seal report I submitted May 7, 1982 with the addition of the percentage of slope Mr. Reid from Alaska Environmental Control Services (AECS) stamped and signed. I then had.to have Mr. Reid supply me with a raised seal report January 25, 1985 Page 2 that I supplied to Ms. Benedicktsson on September 18, 1984. Apparently Ms. Benedicktsson had the report finished but was held up due to a typist being ill and the report could not be found. I have made numerous phone calls to this office. Most of the time the line was busy. At 11:40 a.m. they were out to lunch at times. If they were not in today, or at meeting or out of town or ill. Not to mention the 30 to 50 messages I left with the receptionist for them to return my call at their convenience. I receives two calls from them. One of the calls on December 7, 1984 after I talked with Ms. Rion with l~ayor Tony Knowles' office on December 3, 1984 and December 7, 1984 in reference to the extended time this permit has~ taken to obtain. The evening of December 7, 1984, Mr. Brandt called me at home. On September 18, 1984, Ms. Benedicktsson called my work phone number and stated her report was ready. On January 22, 1985, I talked to Ms. Rion and on January 23, 1985, she informed me to pickup a letter form Mr. Robinson that I was promised that I would have by January 3, 1985. The letter was dated January 4, 1985 and addressed wrong, post marked January 10, 1985 and stamped received January 14, 1985 back at his office. On September 18, 1984, I talked to l~r. Reid about my proposed system. On October 17, 1984 I paid AECS $200.00 for a report that was to address the concerns of ~s. Benedicktsson's report of September 18. On October 17, 1984, I supplied ~s. Benedicktsson with the following: 1) A copy of AECS October 17, 1984 report addressing the tank and system. On or about October 29, 1984, I talked in person to Ms. Benedicktsson, Mr. Brandt, and Mr. Robinson. Mr. Robinson and myself called Mr. Reid from Mr. Robinson's office and asked l~fr. Reid to address a letter to him stating that the tank is not rusted inside or out and is structurally sound. Mr. Robinson then stated to me that this is the only informa- tion needed to issue me my permit. On November 1, 1984, a letter by Mr. Reid answered that question. Again after numerous phone calls to Mr. Robinson from November 1, 1984 through December 7, 1984 no response. On December 7, 1984, Mr. Brandt called me at home after I talked with Ms. Rion at Mayor Tony Knowles' office earlier that day. Mr. Brandt informed me then that the information from AECS was not adequate. On December 7, 1984, I called Mr. Reid to address another letter in regard to the structural strength for burial on the tank. On~ December 15, 1984, Mr. Reid's letter to Mr. January 25, 1985 Page 3 Robinson has still not satisfied Mr. Robinson although he states his department takes no responsibility for this tank, but will permit one single family installation upon an engineer to provide a written summary of the inspection results. On January 4, 1985, Mr. Robertson is asking for in his letter to'me the following: 1) Q. A. Water monitoring for seven days This is the first time this question has been asked not on August 11, 1984. ' 2) Q. DEC community water letter, at which point you said there was not future house as shown on the site plan but that the permit was for the existing house. This is a correct statement. Initially I was planning for a future house with a three 'compart- ment septic tank system but after finding out that a sewer line proposed will be installed in two years I decided to go with a two compartment system. 3) Q. Slope percentage on-site plan - need to get engi- neer to put it on. A. The original May 4, 1982 soils test did not have this information on it because it was not required by Code at that time. Now it is, so I had AECS supply a raised seal copy lIr. Robinson states: your design was submitted to us August 11, 1984. This is a false date: On August 10, 1984, I submitted my plans.

This is a false date: On September 18, 1984, I personally picked up the letter dated September 18, 1984. }Ir.

The first in the review process was your application to use a converted gas tank for a septic tank instead of the standard, approved Greer or Anchorage tanks. The second is your re-application for a septic system permit. Your design was submitted to us August 11, 1984. On August 11, 1984 at 2:00 p.m.C. Beneditksson called and discussed your need for the following on your 5/4/82 Soils Log/Pert Test: 1) Water monitoring for 7 days° 2) DEC community water letter, at which point you said there was no future house as shown on the site plan but that the permit was for the existing house. 3) Slope % on site plan - need to get engineer to put it on. On August 18, 1984 we responded to your drawings for the converted tank with a letter addressing the deficiencies and/or corrections. Your engineer (AECS) was to answer the structural questions, and our office received the correspondsnce October 15, 1984. Unfortunately this letter did not address the structural integrity of the tank as we explained to you, in person and on the phone. November 1, 1984 another correspondence from AECS answered questions as to the amount of rust and so on, although no answer as to its ability to withstand burial. Final correspondence to date December 15, 1984 from AECS, has not guaranteed the structural strength for burial of the tank. Therefore, the department takes no responsibility for this tank, but will permit one single family installation. You may install the converted tank as per engineer recom- mendations as to coating and burial. We will require an engineer to provide a written summary of the inspection results. The permit for your septic system still needs water monitoring for seven days. The test hole submitted (5/4/82) showed water encountered at seven feet. The septic drain field must be within ten feet of this test hole, or another test hole may be required. In addition, the modified mound design will need specifi- cations for a lift station if one is used. Environmental Health Division RR1/p/Di2 MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGI~ DEPT.

A horizontally placed elliptic cylindrical tank does not have the even pressure distribution characteristics around the exterior that a circular cylinder will have. Therefore, certain precautions should be taken since excess loading will have greater effect on structural stability. It is recommended that the bulkhead existing in the proposed first compartment remain. This bulkhead should be modified to resemble the sketch in Fig. 2 to aid in strength against crushing forces, desired flow characteristics through the tank and sludge removal. Installation will have to be executed carefully. The tank should be placed on undisturbed, unfrozen ground and backfilled with well compacted NFS sand placed in 6 inch lifts. This compacted backfill should extend to a depth that is about 6 inches above the middle of the side of the tank. Less compaction will be needed above this point but should not be placed as loose fill. Burial depth is not recommended below 4 feet and rigid board insulation should extend a minimum of 1 foot beyond the most extreme edge of the tank on all sides. This is to help minimize the influence of frozen ground on the tank. The tank will have to be brushed with a wire brush of some sort to remove all rust from the interior and exterior surfaces. All loose material must be removed from the inside of the tank prior to application of any coating. Bitumastic paint or equal will have to be applied so that no bare metal is visible. Ail calculations assume a worse loading condition. Earth dead loads are calculated using depths of soil measured from the horizontal axis of the tank to the finish grade of the ground surface. This weight is then applied to the upper half of the shell of the tank. Should you have any questions regarding this unit please feel free to contact me at AECS. Sincerely, Steven F.

There are some criteria that should be met concerning the internal dimensions of the tank which you may or may not be aware of. Enclosed also find copies of the information that my calculations are based on. 1. Inlet structure The 9" dimension from the top of the tank to the bottom of the inlet pipe is adequate since there will be some free fall provided. The baffle should extend a minimum of 6" below the liquid level to divert the influent downward without disturbing the sludge layer. ~ A 1'! space should be provided for ~as 2. Compartment divider (center baffle of tank) Consider Mov/zn~ th~ compartment outlet to about 3" below the invert of the out'eft ~{~le. The baffle should be enclosed at the top and extend 8-10" below the invert of this pipe. Provisions should be made for.gas ventilation at the top of this partition as well. The compartment outlet located in this portion of the tank is meant to pass only clarified liquids and prevent sludge or scum from entering the adjacent compartment. 3. Outlet structure The 12" dimension from the top of the tank to the invert of the outlet pipe is adequate. The baffle should extend from within 1" of the top of the tank to 12" below the invert of the outlet pipe as shown in the drawings. Approved by: Sincerely, /Ste~ven F.

Any structure design must be approved by this Department for use within the Municipality for single-family dwellings. The following applies to this design: 1. Internal and external bituminous coating is required as described in the code (UPC 15L2). 2. Inlet and outlet pipe fittings should be specified (manufactures, cast or ductile iron, or ASTM D3034 PVC Department). 3. Standpipe holes must have a water tight 4" fitting (Department). 4. Flow-through vent area lacking (UPC 15g). 5. The inlet and outlet dimensions with respect to the water surface must be clearly noted on the drawing. 6. Identify baffle size and distance within depth of liquid. (UPC 15I) In addition to meeting Uniform Plumbing Code specifications, structural engi- neering calculations must be provided by a registered engineer that address structural strength in resistance to earth loads, frost action, etc., while also addressing material integrity.
