The clean-out shall be made by inserting a "Y" fitting in the line and fitting the clean-out in the "Y" branch in an approved manner. in the case of a clean-out near the junction of the public sewer, the "Y" branch shall be extended to a depth of not more than two (2 ) feet, nor less than one foot below the surface of the ground be- fore the clean-out is installed. (c) Drainage piping serving fixtures located at an eleva- tion of less than one foot above- the nearest upstream manhole cover in the main sewer serving said fixtures shall drain by gravity into the main sewer, and shall be protected from backflow of sewage by installing an approved type backwater valve, and each such backwater valve shall be installed only in that branch or section of the drainage system which receives the discharge from fixtures located less than one foot above the nearest upstream manhole cover. 8-4 . 105. Private Sewage Disposal Systems . The design, instal- lation, operation and maintenance of private sewage disposal systems shall be in conformance with Appendix I of the Uniform Plumbing Code and with standards specified in this Section. Where specific standards are not provided within this Title or where the Administrative Authority determines that higher re- quirements are necessary to maintain a safe and sanitary condition, the "Manual of Septic Tank Practice" (published by the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare) , the "Design Manual - Onsite Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Sys- tems" (published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency) , "Guidelines for Mound Systems" (State Water Resources Control Board) , "Guidelines for Evapotranspiration Systems (State Water Resources Control Board) , and the "Water Quality Control Plan, Central Coast Basin" (adopted by the Regional Water Quality -10- 0 0 Control Board of the Central Coast Region) shall be used as guidelines by the Administrative Authority. (a) Percolation Test. An on-site investigation shall be made in order to determine the suitability of a partic cular site for a private sewage disposal system and to provide the data necessary to design a private sewage disposal system. A percolation test shall be required prior to issuance of a permit for all new or enlarged private sewage disposal systems . The following perco- lation test procedure shall be used in performing percolation tests, except that other accepted test pro- cedures may be used when approved by the Administrative Authority. (1) Number and Location of Test Holes . A minimum of three separate test holes space uniformly through and located in the immediate vicinity of the pro- posed leach field site shall be made. (2) Type of Test Holes. The test hole shall have horizontal dimensions between 4 and 12 inches and vertical sides to the depth of the absorption trench. (3) Preparation of Test Hole. Smeared soil surfaces shall be removed from the sides and bottom of the test hole to provide a natural soil interface. All loose material shall be removed from the test hole. Two inches of coarse sand or fine gravel shall be added to the test hole to protect the bottom from scouring and sediment. (4) Soil Saturation and Swelling. The test hole is to be carefully filled to a depth of one foot above the gravel or sand with clear water which is to be kept in the hole for at least four hours but pref- erably overnight. This step may be omitted in sandy soils containing little or no clay. (5) Measurement of Percolation Rate: The percolation rate shall be determined twenty-four hours after water is first added to the test holes; except, in sandy soils containing little or no clay, the per- colation rate shall be determined after the water from one filling of the test hole has completely seeped away. ( i) If water remains in the test hole after the overnight swelling period, adjust the depth to approximately six inches over the gravel -11- i • or sand and, from a fixed reference point, measure the drop in water level over a thirty minute period to calculate the percolation rate. ( ii) If no water remains in the test hole after the overnight swelling period, add clear water to bring the depth of water in the test hole to approximately six inches over the gravel or sand. From a fixed reference point, measure the drop in water level at approximately thirty minute intervals over four hours refilling six inches over the gravel or sand as necessary. The drop that occurs during the final thirty minute period is used to calculate the percolation rate. The drops during prior periods provide infor- mation for possible modification of the test procedure to suit local conditions . ( iii) In sandy soils (or in other soils in which the first six inches of water seeps away in less than thirty minutes after the overnight swelling period), the time interval between measurements shall be taken as ten minutes and the test shall run for one hour with the drop during the final ten minutes being used to calculate the percolation rate.

Where an existing private sewage disposal system has failed, the replacement system shall be designed in conformance with this Chapter and shall be designed, inspected and certified to work by a registered engi- neer competent in sanitary engineering. In the event that the replacement system cannot be designed to con- form with this Chapter, the Administrative Authority may approve a system designed to lesser standards when it is designed, inspected, and certified to work by a registered engineer competent in sanitary engineering. (1) A private sewage disposal system shall not be re- placed by another system if sewers are available. -17- • 0 (2) The Administrative Authority shall not approve a replacement system which does not conform with prohibitions set forth in the "Water Quality Con- trol Plan - Central coast Basin" unless the Regional Water Quality Control Board or its desig- nated representatives has previously approved the design.
