| Zusammenfassung: | Effluent entering a soil absorption system may contain varying combinations and amounts of potential contaminants. A vertical separation distance of 24 inches between the bottom of a soil absorption system and the seasonally high water table has been suggested as a minimum soil depth for proper treatment of effluent and protection of groundwater. Depth to the wet season water table can be monitored with observation wells or can be estimated from soil morphological characteristics. Caution is advised when evaluating artificial drainage as a method to improve performance of on-site sewage disposal systems. |
