The construction of the on-site ISDS has been completed pursuant to plans and specifications prepared by Schmueser Gordon Meyer. The ISDS design at the Herndon Residence, on Lot 27 in Filing 2 of W/J Ranch, consisting of a Leach Field, configured in 4 trenches, with 16 chambers each, fed by treated wastewater routed through one 2,000 gallon dual cell tank with an Orenco low head effluent pump. The effluent pump was critical component to the design because of the distance to convey the effluent. The tank and vault were not located as shown on the original plans. It was installed along the western side of the structure instead of the northern side as shown on the approved plans. Additionally, the Leach Field was not constructed in the north -south orientation as shown on the approved plans but was installed with an east -west orientation along the southern boundary of Leach Field property. SGM has inspected the installation of the septic tank, collection system, flow splitter and gravelless chamber seepage trenches pursuant to our original plans and specifications. Our inspection during the construction process indicated that the system was installed in a manner consistent with our plan set with the revisions noted above.

Box 3088 CRESTED BUTTE, CO 81 224 970-349-5355 FX: 970-349-5358 Because of the recent construction of the Lot 27 ISDS leach field there have been questions pertaining to the installation of the ISDS monitoring wells at W/J Ranch Filing 2 & 4. We have resubmitted the revised well location plan and also submitted the State well permits and the bore log information associated with the 3 monitoring wells for your information. Since our initial submittal of the Filing 2 & 4 ISDS System design on May 26th, 2005, the location of the northern most monitoring well has been modified from its original location further to the West because of restriction placed on the surrounding open space parcels. Lowe W/J was informed by the County that improvements such as this and access to them is not permitted in Open Space donations. The monitoring well easement is a 20 by 20 foot envelope located on the western side of the Lot 27 and Lot 24 ISDS parcels within their 10 foot setbacks. �7 Because of a contractor error in reading the SGM ISDS design for Lot 27, the newly ��`'o- constructed leach field beds have been oriented from East to West instead of North and South. This error in construction has placed the edge of the leach field approximately 30 r0 01\ feet away from the monitoring well instead of the planned 90 feet of separation. We have / �1 it` explored the State regulations and have not found a mandated separation distance to a monitoring well and these are typically evaluated on a case by case basis. UnderstandingQ�`5 the ISDS design for the beds on this lot we feel that the separation distance should be sufficient. If anything there is not a downside to this location for the County because if there is effluent migration into the water table it will be recognized quicker than a further offset location. This contractor error should not influence the monitoring well because of the horizontal and vertical distances separating the leach field and the water table measured in February 2006. If in the future there is a physical, chemical or biological test result that is inconsistent with the up gradient wells and not in compliance with water quality standards the Lot owner could be required to reconstruct the beds to provide the designed separation. This would be a first measure to correct a failing test result before exploring system wide problems/solutions. SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER GLENWOOD SPRINGS ASPEN E N G I N E E R S S.

Box 12393 Aspen, CO 81612 Attention: Mr. Jim DeFrancia Subject Percolation Testing Filings 2 and 4 Lowe W/J Project No. GSO4478-130 This letter presents the results of our percolation testing for Filings 2 and 4 at Lowe W/J in Pitkin County, Colorado. Our scope of services for the project were outlined in our Proposal No. GS 05-133. The following sections describe our percolation test method and present percolation test results. Percolation Test Method The individual sewage disposal systems (ISDS) for lots in Filings 2 and 4 at Lowe W/J will be grouped together. Each of the twelve lots has been provided with a 1/2 acre parcel for the ISDS (see Figure 1). Our experience at the site indicates subsurface conditions are generally similar throughout Filings 2 and 4. Therefore, because of the close proximity of the ISDS locations, we judged percolation testing could be reduced to less than the typical, three pits per ISDS parcel. From a geotechnical engineering perspective, one percolation test per ISDS parcel is appropriate to estimate the design percolation rate for all twelve of the ISDS systems in Filings 2 and 4. We discussed our proposed approach to percolation testing with Ms. Nancy MacKenzie of the Pitkin County Department of Environmental Health. Ms. MacKenzie agreed that one percolation pit in each of the ISDS parcels would likely be sufficient, provided actual conditions exposed in the pits were consistent across the site. Based on our conversation, we also decided to limit the number of profile pits at the site to two. Our staff engineer directed excavation of the profile and percolation pits on April 20, 2005. One percolation pit was excavated with a backhoe at the center of each of the twelve ISDS parcels. The centers of the ISDS parcels were staked by Schmueser Gordon Meyer, Inc., prior to excavation operations. Two profile pits 234 Center Drive I Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 Telephone: 970-945-2809 Fax: 970-945-7411 (Profile 1 and Profile 2) were excavated at the approximate locations shown on Figure 1. Profile pits were backfilled immediately after subsurface conditions were logged. Subsoils at the site generally consist of gravel, cobbles and boulders in a silty to clayey matrix. Graphic logs of the soil encountered in the profile and percolation pits are shown on Figure 2. Percolation Test Results The percolation pits were prepared for testing on April 21, 2005. Our staff engineer performed percolation testing in the pits on April 22, 2005. Inconsistent percolation test results occurred in pits P-1, P-3 and P-8. These three percolation pits were cleaned out with a backhoe on May 11, 2005 and the pits were prepared for retesting. The retests were performed by our field representative on May 12, 2005. Test results are presented on Figures 3 through 6. Results from P-1, P-3 and P-8 are from the retests. Our percolation test results indicate that a percolation rate of about 20 min/inch should be used for design of ISDS systems in Filings 2 and 4. The absorption zone for the ISDS on each parcel should be in the silty to clayey gravel soils. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this project. If you have questions, please call.

If unsure of the Installation requirements for a particular site, contact the local health department. Like conventional systems, the soil and site conditions must be approved prior to installation. Conduct a thorough site evalu- ation to determine the proper sizing and siting of the system before installation. Materials and Equipment Needed ❑ Quick4 Standard Chambers ❑ MultiPort End Caps ❑ PVC Pipe and Couplings ❑ Backhoe ❑ Laser, Transit, or Level ❑ Shovel and Rake ❑ Tape Measure ❑ Screwdriver or Knife ❑ Hole Saw ❑ 2 -inch Drywall Screws* ❑ Screw Gun* ❑ Small Valve -Cover Box* ❑ 4 -inch Cap for Inspection Port* * Optional These guidelines for construction machinery must be followed during installation: o Avoid direct contact with chambers when using construction equipment. Chambers require a 12 -inch minimum of compacted cover to support a wheel load rating of 16,000 lbs/axle or equivalent to an H-10 AASHTO load rating. • Only drive across the trenches when necessary. Never drive down the length of the trenches. ❑ To avoid additional soil compaction, never drive heavy vehicles over the completed system. Excavating and Preparing the Site Note: As is the case with conventional systems, do not install the systems in wet conditions or in overly moist soils, as this causes machinery to smear the soil. 1. Stake out the location of all trenches and lines. Set the elevations of the tank, pipe, and trench bottom. 2. Install sedimentation and erosion control measures. Temporary drainage swales/berms may be installed to protect the site during rainfall events. 3. Excavate and level 3 -foot wide trenches with proper center - to -center separation. Verify that the trenches are level or have the prescribed slope. Note: Over excavate the trench width in areas where you are planning to contour. Page 2 4. Rake the bottorn and sides if smearing has occurred while excavating. Remove any large stones and other debris. Do not use the bucket teeth to rake the trench bottom. Note: Raking to eliminate smearing is not necessary in sandy soils. In fine textured soils (silts and clays), avoid walking in the trench to prevent compaction and loss of soil structure. 5. Verify that each trench is level using a level, transit, or laser. Preparing the End Cap 1. With a screwdriver or utility knife start the tear -out seal at the appropriate diameter for the inlet pipe. The seal allows for a tight fit for 3 -inch, 4 -inch SDR35, and 4 -inch SCH40 pipe. 2. Pull the tab on the tear -out seal to create an opening on the end cap. 3. Snap off the molded splash plate located on the bottom front of the end cap. 4. Install splash plate into the appropriate slots below the inlet to prevent trench bottom erosion. 5. Insert the inlet pipe into the end cap at the beginning of the trench. The pipe will go in one inch before reaching a stop. (Screws optional.) Start tear -out seal. Pull tab on tear -out seal. Install splash plate. Insert inlet pipe. Al Installing the System 1. Check the header pipe to be sure it is level or has the prescribed slope. 2. Set the invert height at 8 inches from the bottom of the inlet. 3. Place the inlet end of the first chamber over the back edge of the end cap. 4. Lift and place the end of the next chamber onto the the previous chamber by holding it at a 45 -degree angle. Line up the chamber end between the connector hook and locking pin at the top of the first chamber. Lower it to the ground to con- nect the chambers. Note: When the chamber end is placed between the connector hook and locking pin at a 45 -degree angle, the pin will be visible from the back side of the chamber. Note: The connector hook serves as a guide to insure proper connection and does not add structural integrity to the chamber joint. Broken hooks will not affect the struc- ture nor void the warranty. 5. Swivel the chamber on the pin to the proper direction for the trench layout. Note: The Quick4 Standard Chamber allows 10 degrees of swivel in either direction at each joint. 6. Continue connecting the chambers until the trench is completed. Note: As chambers are installed, verify they are level or have the prescribed slope. 7. The last chamber in the trench requires an end cap. Lift the end cap at a 45 -degree angle and insert the connector hook through the opening on the top of the end cap. Applying firm pressure, lower the end cap to the ground to snap it into place. Do not remove the tear -out seal. Place first chamber onto end cap. Connect the chambers. Swivel the chamber. Attach end cap to chamber. M 8. To ensure structural stability, fill the sidewall area by pulling soil from the sides of the trench with a shovel. Start at the joints where the chambers connect. Continue backfilling the entire sidewall area, making sure the fill covers the louvers. 9. Pack down the fill by walking along the edges of the trench and chambers. This is an important step in assuring structural support. Note: In wet or clay soils, do not walk in the sidewalls. 10. Proceed to the next trench and begin with Step 1. Installing Optional Inspection Ports 1. With a hole saw drill the pre -marked area in the top of the chamber to create a 4 -inch opening. 2. Set a cut piece of pipe of the appropriate length into the corresponding chamber's inspection port sleeve. Note: The sleeve will accommodate a 4 -inch SCH40 pipe. 3. Use two screws to fasten the pipe to the sleeve around the inspection port. 4. Attach a threaded cap or cleanout assembly onto the protruding pipe at the appro- priate height. 5. A small valve cover box may be used if inspection port is below the desired grade. Covering the System Fasten the pipe. Before backfilling, the system must be inspected by a health officer or other official as required by State and local codes. Create an as -built drawing at this time for future records. 1. Backfill the trench by pushing fill material over the chambers with a backhoe. Keep a minimum of 12 inches of compacted cover over the chambers before driving over the system. Note: Do not drive over system while backfilling in sand. Note: For shallow cover applications, you must mound 12 inches of soil over the system before driving over it, and then grade it back to 6 inches upon completion. 2. It is best to mound several inches of soil over the finish grade to allow for settling. This also ensures that runoff water is divert- ed away from the system. 3. After the system is covered, the site should be seeded or sodded to prevent erosion. Note: If the system is for new home construction it is important to leave marking stakes along the boundary of the system. This will notify contractors of the site location so they will not cross it with equipment or vehicles. Page 3 NAW 140W Infiltrator Systems, Inc.

Rev 2.0, 4/04 U E Installation Guide: ProSTEPrn' Effluent Pump Packages Before You Begin... At Orenco, we've worked hard to make your installation as easy and "hassle -free" as possible. The ProSTEP— Pump Package comes as a totally integrated package that can be installed in most tanks in a matter of hours. All components are designed to fit together well, and field cuts are kept to a minimum. Before you begin installing your Orenco ProSTEPT Pump Package, read this entire manual. You'll save yourself time and money on installation day, and you'll reduce the potential for call-backs. In particular, review the preparation steps and the installation sequence before doing anything. First, make sure the watertight tank has been installed according to the manufacturer's instructions, and that it has been tested for watertightness. If required by the tank manufacturer, all backfilling should be completed as well. Check Your Packag When your equipment arrives, be sure to check your ProSTEPT Pump Package for all components. Each Orenco pump package comes with a control panel, splice box, discharge assembly, Biotube® pump vault, float assembly, and effluent pump. O Control panel © Risers, lids, adapters ordered separately 4 Splice box O Discharge assembly O Biotube® pump vault O Float assembly O Effluent pump Since there is so much variation in tank sizes, you must order risers, lids, and riser -to -tank adapters sepa- rately. You will also need ADH 100 and MA320 adhesives, and perhaps bolt -down kits, grommets, and conduit seal, all of which are available in Orenco's Product Catalog. If you don't have an Orenco product catalog, call 1-800-348-9843 to request one or go to www.orenco.com and click on Product Catalog. © 2004 Orenco Systems® Inc. NIM -EPS -1 Rev 2.0, 4/04 Installation Guide: ProSTEP'M Effluent Pump Packages �"i isers It is assumed that you are installing into a fiberglass tank or a concrete tank with tank adapters cast in. If adapters have not been installed, see Access Riser Instructions (NIN-RLA-RR-1).* Step la: Orient risers with grommeted holes in the directions shown on your engineering plans. For any risers that will have electrical conduits running to them, try to orient electrical grommeted holes to minimize the number of bends. (National Electrical Code limits the sum of all bends in a run to 360 degrees.) NOTE: If you need to install a grommet, see Appendix 1, on page 15, before proceeding. j' Step lb: Wipe the areas to be bonded with a clean rag to ensure a clean, dry bonding surface that is free of debris. Step lc: There are several methods of applying adhesive to the outside and inside of the riser tank adapter. You can use ADH 100 or MA320 alone. However, because ADH 100 does not provide a structural joint for approximately 24 hours and may therefore delay installation and backfilling, you may want to use both adhesives. If so, apply NIA320 to the outside sur- face of the riser tank adapter for a quick (usually an hour or less) structural joint. Step ld: Carefully slide the riser onto the adapter. Orient the riser correctly before the adhesive starts to set. Step le: If you are using both types of adhesive, apply a bead of ADH 100 adhesive to the inside of the adapter and riser joint. Use a putty knife or similar tool to form a continuous fillet between the tank adapter and the inside of the riser. Step If: After the adhesives have set, test the watertightness of the tank and the riser joint. To do this, cap the tank's inlet pipe, and place two inches of appropriate backfill material on top of the tank. Then fill the tank with clean water to a level two inches above the adhesive joint in the riser. Do not allow the water level to rise more than three inches into the riser, because structural damage to the tank may occur. CAUTION: Check the tank manufacturer's guidelines before filling the tank. Some tank manufacturers require a partial or complete backfill before a tank is filled. * You can find this document in Orenco's online Document Library at www.orenco.com.

Step 2: Install Biotube® Pump The Biotube pump vault is suspended in the tank by Schedule 80 support pipes (unless it is designed specifically to rest on the bottom of the tank). The vault comes with a Biotube filter cartridge, float stem bracket, and support pipes. Each pump vault houses either one (simplex) or two (duplex) high -head effluent pumps, discharge assemblies, Biotube fil- ter cartridge, float switch assembly, and float stem bracket. Step 2a: The Biotube pump vault comes with standard length support pipes preinstalled for a 24 -inch riser. If you receive longer pipes for 30 -inch risers, detach them from the packaging material and remove one screw from each pipe. Slide the sup- port pipes through the holes in the support brackets at the top of the vault. Reinstall the screws. If you need longer support pipes, contact Orenco Systems or your local distributor. Step 2b: Gently lower the vault into position in the access riser. The support pipes should rest on top of the tank (unless the vault was designed specifically to rest on the tank bottom). IMPORTANT If the tank is full of sewage, rest the vault on top of the liquid surface and lower it by filling the vault with water (from a hose) to prevent any floating materials from entering the vault through the inlet holes, as well as to counteract the buoyancy of the empty vault. Step 3. Install Splice 8 I The electrical splice box — typically mounted inside the access riser, above the pump vault and about six inches below the top of the access riser — provides a safe and legal space for splicing cables from pumps or float switches. The splice box comes with waterproof wire nuts necessary to splice the appropriate floats and pumps. Lubricate both the outside of the conduit coupling and the grommet with pipe lubricant or an equivalent product. Slide the coupling through the grommet in the access riser wall. Make sure the box is pushed snug against the wall, allowing for removal of any pumping equipment. Use conduit seals to ensure that condensation and gases do not affect the system. NOTE: Detailed splice box installation instructions can be found in the splice box. See also Appendix 2, on page 16, for splice box wiring instructions. NIM -EPS -1 Rev 2.0, 4/04 Installation Guide: ProSTEP r' Effluent Pump Packages 4: Install Pump and Discharge Assembly The discharge assembly carries effluent from the effluent pump to the transport pipe. Step 4a: Screw the male adapter at the bottom of the discharge plumbing assembly stem into the pump discharge. Step 4b: For risers 24" or less in height, lower the pump and discharge plumbing assembly stem into the flow inducer and mark the stem 1" above the top of the flow inducer. (If the riser height is greater than 24", refer to NIN-HV-HV-2 * for more detailed instructions.) Cut the stem at the mark and glue the cut end of the stem to the upper portion of the assembly, allowing the glue to set. Carefully lower the pump and discharge assembly into the flow inducer. IMPORTANT Do not use the pump cable to lower the pump! Step 4c: Using pipe lubricant or an equivalent product, lubricate the access riser grommet and the gray Schedule 80 nipple on the discharge assembly. Push the nipple through the grommet. Step 4d: Exercise the (optional) ball valve or gate valve by rotating the handle back and forth to assure that there is enough operating room for the handle. Step 4e: Glue a slip x slip coupling (or external flex connec- tor, if used) to the end of the nipple extending from the access riser. Step 4f: Glue the transport pipe to the coupling on the end of the flex connection. Step 4g: Position the vault in the riser so that the support pipes do not interfere with plumbing or wiring. Be sure that the dis- charge assembly does not interfere with removal of the float stem or the Biotube cartridge. If you place it correctly, the vault should clear the splice box and discharge assembly when you remove it. Step 4h: If you have deep access risers and need longer Biotube cartridge handles to facilitate maintenance, install 1" diameter PVC pipe extensions. For handle assembly, remove set- screws from crossbar, install extra pipe, and reinstall crossbar.

Step 5: Install float Assem The float switch assembly mounts in the pump vault by clip- ping into the float bracket. You can detach the assembly without removing either the Biotube cartridge or pump vault. IMPORTANT- Float positions are critical and should be set according to the engineering plans. Make sure the floats can move freely without interfering with each other and that they do not come in contact with the vault wall. Step 5a: Each float cable is provided with a color marker that indicates the function of the float. Make sure your float cable markers correspond with the testing instructions and splice box wiring diagrams. (If the testing instructions or splice box wiring diagrams do not match your float cable marker colors, contact Orenco Systems or your local distributor for assistance.) The two most common pumping systems are "on -demand" and "timed." On -demand systems typically use the Y/G/W (yellow/green/white) or Y/B/R (yellow/blue/red) float set; timed systems typically use the YG/R/W (yellow -green/ red/white) float set. (Refer to the table below.) If your system differs from these types, refer to the instructions included with your control panel. Float Functions and Color Marker Tags Float On -Demand Timed Dose , Top Q High-level alarm 0 High-level alarm High-level alarm/ timer override Middle 0 Pump on 0 Pump on/off 0 Timer on/off Bottom Q Pump off © Redundant off/ low-level alarm © Redundant off/ low-level alarm Step 5b: The floats are assembled at the factory in an offset alignment so that they will not interfere with each other. However, if you notice a float interfering with another, you may adjust it by loosening the stainless steel setscrew in the float collar with a Phillips screwdriver. Slowly back the screw out of the collar to a point at which the collar may be adjusted. Do not back the screw completely out of the collar. Rotate the collar on the stem until the float switches can move freely past one another. Tighten the stainless steel screw and recheck. WARNING: Do not alter the float tether lengths. Altering tether lengths may disrupt proper operation of the assembly. NIM -EPS -1 Rev 2.0, 4/04 Installation Guide: ProSTEP' Effluent Pump Packages Step 5c: Although float switches are assembled at the factory for the appropriate depths, compare the float settings with the project plans and specifications. If you need to adjust a setting, loosen the setscrew as described in Step 5b and follow the instructions below with respect to the system in use: On -demand systems. Measuring from the setscrew, the top float is normally set 1" to 2" below the tank inlet invert. The pump on/off (middle) float should be set 4.5" below the top float. The redundant off (bottom) float should be set 3.5" below the middle float.* (Make sure the bottom float does NOT rest on top of the Biotube cartridge, or it might not oper- ate correctly in a low-level situation.) Timed dose systems. Measuring from the setscrew, the top float is normally set V to 2" below the tank inlet invert. The bottom float should be positioned no closer than 1.5" from the top of the Biotube cartridge.* (Make sure the bottom float does NOT rest on top of the cartridge, or it might not operate correctly in a low-level situation.) The middle float in timed dose systems marks the lower boundary of the surge volume, with the top (high-level alarm) float marking the upper boundary. For most residential applications, the recommended surge volume is approximately 150 to 250 gallons. Adjust the middle float switch to the desired level and tighten the set screw. WARNING: The float stem provided is the maximum length possible without interfering with the pump minimum liquid level or screened pump vault intake ports. Never lengthen the float stem without prior approval from Orenco. Lengthening of the float stem will void the warranty. Step 5d: Replace the float assembly in the float bracket. Make sure the assembly snaps fully into the float bracket. Step 5e: Wrap the excess float cord cables around the splice box and tie them together to prevent them from slipping back into the vault and interfering with the operation of the floats. (See photo on page 11.) Step 5f: The float assembly may be extended by gluing a 1" diameter PVC pipe into the float assembly handle, typically up to about one foot from grade level. * These are standard settings. Make sure float level settings meet state and local regulations. NIM -EPS -1 © 2004 Orenco Systems® Inc.

Rev 2.0, 4/04 0 Installation u de: ProSTEP'M Effluent Pump Packages Step 6: Install Control Panel For complete control panel installation instructions, see the installation manual for the electrical control panel that comes with your system. These instructions are tucked into the door pouch inside the control panel.* Step 6a: Make sure the instructions and items supplied conform to state and local regulations. Step 6b: A qualified and licensed electrician should install and service the panel and ancillary wiring in compliance with the National Electrical Code, as well as state and local codes. (Wiring diagrams can be found in the installation manual* that comes with the panel.) Wiring will include the following items: a) Incoming power to the panel. There may be one or more circuits required, depending upon the number of pumps and local electrical codes. b) Wiring from the control panel to the pump and floats. c) Wiring to a discharge pump and floats (if applicable). NOTE: While we do not recommend installing a control panel against the wall of a bedroom, living room, or other living space, you could mount it on a 4 x 4 post adjacent to such a wall. Step 7.• Backfill Installation Step 7a: Backfill the excavation. Follow the tank manufactur- er's guidelines for backfilling the tanks. Step 7b: Be sure to backfill evenly and carefully around the riser and all pipes and conduit, so that no breakage occurs. Native material is acceptable if it has no large or sharp rocks that may damage the tank walls. If native material is not usable, backfill with sand or pea gravel. Slope the ground away from the tanks to prevent surface water from ponding on or around them. Cold weather installation may require pea grav- el backfill around risers to prevent frost heave. After backfilling is complete, risers should protrude one to three inches above grade to allow for settling of the tank. IMPORTANT- Make sure that all riser lids are secure before backfilling. 4 _ * If the instructions are missing or have been removed from the door pouch inside the control panel, call Orenco for a replacement or download a copy of the instructions from our online Document Library at www.orenco.com. © 2004 Orenco Systems® Inc. NIM -EPS -1 Rev 2.0, 4/04 Installation Guide: ProSTEP' Effluent Pump Packages StaiM p Instructions for AH Systems Step 1: Use the log sheet from the door pouch inside the control panel to document measurements and other data. NOTE: All panels are tested before leaving the factory. If a panel has a functional problem, check the wiring diagrams for proper wiring. Step 2: Before proceeding, fully open the ball valve on the discharge plumbing assembly and make sure the pump is submerged. Step 3: During normal operation, the bottom float will be up. Raise it to simulate normal operation. Step 4: Check the automatic operation of the high level alarm. Raise the top float to activate the red light and audible alarm. If the light does not illuminate, check it for damage that may have occurred during shipping. Press the "silence" button on the front of the panel enclosure to silence the alarm. This will disengage the audible alarm but will not turn off the visi- ble light. Lowering the float should cause the light to go off. Step 5: Check the static voltage of the pump. Set the MOA (Manual/Off/Automatic) switch to the OFF position. Using standard electrical probes, measure the incoming voltage by touching one probe to the top wire of the pump breaker and the other to a neutral terminal. Record voltages on the label pro- vided in the control panel. Step 6: Set the MOA switch in the control panel to MAN (manual). Make sure the pump is running. Orenco pumps have a 1/8 -inch bypass orifice in the discharge head. During the pumping cycle, some noise as a result of the recirculation with- in the flow inducer is to be expected. Step 7: Measure the amperage of the pump by placing a loop ammeter around one of the wire loops above the pump circuit breaker. (Make sure not to use the control panel's wire loop.) Record this value on the label provided in the control panel. Step 8: Using standard electrical probes, measure the dynamic voltage of the pump by touching the probes to the pump termi- nals in the control panel while the pump is running. (Refer to the wiring diagrams for your panel for the exact terminals.) Record this value on the label provided in the control panel. NIM -EPS -1 Rev 2.0, 4/04 s 41 - © 2004 Orenco Systems® Inc. it ME Installation Guide: ProSTEP' Effluent Pump Packages © 2004 Orenco Systems® Inc. NOTE: There should be no more than a 10% difference between static and dynamic voltage. If the voltage drop is greater than 10%, ensure that the wire between the pump and the control panel is the correct size. Step 9: Perform float test. See instructions that follow for on - demand and timed systems. Float Test for On -Demand Syste Step 1: Set the MOA switch to automatic (AUTO). Raise the middle float. The pump should engage. (Remember, the bottom float must be UP for this to work.) Step 2: Check the pump off or redundant off float. • YB/R: Raise the middle float to engage the pump. Lower this float, then the bottom float. The pump should shut off when the lower float is lowered. • Y/G/W: Raise the middle float to engage the pump. While keeping this float in the up position, lower the bottom float. The pump should shut off, and the audible and visual alarms should engage. Float Test for rimed Systems (with MVP Panel) NOTE: All panels are tested before leaving the factory. If a panel has a functional problem, check the wiring diagrams for proper wiring. Step 1: Familiarize yourself with the types of alarms. Whenever an alarm condition occurs, the audible alarm will sound, and the red light on the front of the panel will illumi- nate. You can silence the audible portion of all alarms by push- ing the illuminated light. You can determine the type of alarm condition by the steady/blinking status of the alarm light: Steady light: high-level alarm Blinking light: low-level alarm You can also determine the float positions and alarm conditions by viewing the LCD screen inside the control panel. Step 2: To test the operation of the floats, remove the float stem from the pump vault. All floats go from "open" to "closed" position when the liquid level is near the center of the float collar. The differential (drawdown) of the float is approximately 1/8". NIM -EPS -1 Rev 2.0, 4/04 Installation Guide: ProSTEP' Effluent Pump Packages Drop the bottom float to its open (down) position to verify operation of the low-level alarm. The audible alarm should sound and the red alarm light should blink. When the low- level alarm is activated, the pump should also be inoperable. Verify this by flipping the MOA switch to manual. During normal system operation, the bottom float will be in its closed (up) position. Keeping the bottom float up, raise the top float to its closed (up) position. The high-level alarm should sound, and the red alarm light should shine steadily. During normal system operation, the top float will be in its open (down) position. NOTE: When the high-level alarm has been activated, the system will run off the override timer for a minimum of three cycles after the top float has dropped. To take the system out of override and resume normal operation, switch the controls circuit breaker to "off ' and back to "on." Step 3: Set the panel's programmable timer: a. Press the ESC key. b. Press the down arrow key to select "Set Param." c. Press the OK key. WARNING: Do not select "Stop." Selecting this option will erase the panel programming and will require an EEPROM (not shipped with the panel) to reprogram. If you inadvertent- ly press the OK button while "Stop" is highlighted, select "No" on the confirmation screen and press OK to go back to the timer setting menu. d. Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the parameters. When you find one you wish to alter, press the OK key. e. Use the left and right arrow keys to highlight the character you wish to change. When the cursor is over the character, use the up and down arrow keys to change its value. When you are satisfied with the value, press the OK key. f. To set other parameters, repeat the previous two steps. g. Press the ESC key twice to exit.

Repeat Step 4 and set the timer for 40 seconds on, 40 seconds off.) To simulate normal operation, the bottom float should be in the up position. a. Raise the middle float to activate the timer. The timer will start in the "off' phase. b. Run the pump through a few cycles to ensure that it turns on and off with the timer. NOTE: If you changed the timer for this test, repeat Step 3 to set the timer for normal operation. Check for EaW,flump Vault RemoA The ability to easily remove the Biotube pump vault for main- tenance is essential and depends on careful installation in accordance with Orenco instructions. To be certain that the components have been correctly installed and to avoid future maintenance problems, practice the removal process below. • Completely close the ball valve on the discharge assembly. • Disconnect the PVC union next to the ball valve. • Remove the pump from its flow inducer and set it aside on the lid to protect it from mud or sand. (You do not need to disconnect the pump's electrical cord.) • Remove the float assembly from the vault and set it aside. • Pull the Biotube pump vault out of the tank. There should be enough clearance between the ball valve and splice box to allow unhindered removal of the vault. After you are satisfied that you can successfully remove the vault, lower the vault back into the tank and replace the float assembly. To prevent the vault from floating, run clear water (from a hose) into it to sink it. Then do the following: • Lower the pump into the flow inducer and reconnect the discharge assembly. • Open the ball valve completely. • Secure the access riser lid. * If the instructions are missing or have been removed from the door pouch inside the control panel, call Orenco for a replacement or download a copy of the instructions from our online Document Library at www.orenco.com. © 2004 Orenco Systems® Inc.

Brief Maintenance Summary Whenever servicing your wastewater treatment system... • Wear clothing that covers all parts of the body exposed to wastewater or effluent and personal protection equipment (rubber gloves, goggles) whenever handling components that come in contact with wastewater or effluent. • Practice proper personal hygiene after service is complete. • When working with electrical components, switch off the power at the service entrance panel and set the circuit breakers to OFF. If the control panel is not within view of the pumping system, use lockout/tagout procedures. NOTE: For complete maintenance instructions, search Orenco's online Document Library. (Look under "Instructions, General" in the "Search by Category" function.) Biotube Pump Vault Maintenance Step 1: Determine whether the Biotube filter needs clean- ing. Turn the pump on by flipping the MOA switch in the control panel to MAN. Let the pump run about 30 seconds and watch inside the Biotube pump vault for any noticeable difference between the vault's liquid level and the tank liquid level. Flip the MOA switch back to AUTO. If the liquid level difference between the inside and outside of the vault reaches about two inches or more, or if the low-level alarm is activated, the Biotube cartridge may need to be cleaned. Step 2: If the Biotube filter needs cleaning, do the following: • Switch the MOA and the circuit breakers in the control panel to OFF. • Slide the Biotube cartridge out of the pump vault. • Hold the Biotube cartridge over an open inlet of the tank or primary compartment. • Carefully spray the build-up into the tank (not into the pump vault). • If there are significant solids in the vault, remove and clean the vault too. Step 3: Pull the pump and place it on a cleanable surface, like the riser lid, or in a plastic trash can. Check the intake screen; wash off particles as necessary. Record the kinds of particles (cigarette butts, hair, lint, kitty litter, cloth wipes, gum, grease build-up, etc.) on a system maintenance log and report your findings to the user/homeowner (for education). NIM -EPS -1 Rev 2.0, 4/04 Installation Guide: ProSTEP' Effluent Pump Packages embly , ntenance Clean off any solids buildup on floats. Verify that floats are properly secured to the float stem. Verify that float cords are neatly wrapped inside the riser so that they cannot interfere with the operation of the floats. With the MOA switch set to AUTO, simulate system opera- tion by lifting the floats in the same order that the liquid would lift them (bottom, middle, then top). Remove any inoperative float and replace it with a new one. Refer to Float Collar Instruction Guide (NIN-MF-MFC-1)* and the maintenance section of Float Switch Assembly Instructions (NIN-MF-MF-1)* for more detailed information on float assembly repair/replacement. ,Splice Box Maintenance IMPORTANT- Before doing any work on the wiring to the level control floats and pump in the vault or in the control panel, switch the circuit breakers in the panel to their OFF positions and switch off the power to the system at the service entrance panel. Remove splice box lid and check for moisture. (Some con- densation is normal.) Inspect the splice box to ensure lid and connections are secure. If the splice box was submerged, or if there is a crack in the conduit, there may be water in the splice box. If this is the case, remove water from the splice box with a syringe, sponge, or similar method. Refer to document NIN-SB-SB- I* for instructions to splice the float wire to the wire from the control panel. Attach the common wire with the other commons using the waterproof wire nut. It may be necessary to replace this wire nut with a new watertight wire nut. Always use watertight wire nuts or heat -shrink splice kits for all connections! * You can find this document on Orenco's online Document Library at www.orenco.com.

Appendix 1: Grommet lnst�Instructions Step 1: To install grommets in the field, first mark the riser for location of the grommets — in the 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions, as shown in the diagram. (For Perma-Loc risers, you should try to avoid cutting through the pipe seam — the extra thick rib — unless it is unavoidable.) Step 2: Using a 4" grinder or other cutting tool, notch through the ribs to the wall of the riser. Remove an area of ribbing approximately 1" larger than the grommet diameter. Step 3: Using a hammer and chisel, break the notched ribs from the riser. Use a grinder to remove any remaining rib material so that you are left with a smooth area, ensuring a watertight fit. Step 4: Using the Grommet Hole Saw Sizing Chart below, select a hole saw for the grommet installation and drill out the opening. Orenco's installer tool kit comes with hole saws for 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2" grommets with hardened steel rib - cutters. If you need to cut any of these hole sizes, cut the hole with one of these bits and let the rib -cutter remove the rib. When you feel a change in the resistance, indicating you have cut through the last bit of rib and are at the surface of the solid riser, remove the hole saw. Grommet Hole Saw Sizing Chart Grommet I Pipe Diameter Size (in.)

Step 6: Install the grommet in the riser. We highly recom- mend applying a bead of ADH 100 adhesive to the groove of the grommet before inserting it into the riser hole. This will make the grommet more secure and will overcome any imperfections in the drilled hole. NIM -EPS -1 Rev 2.0, 4/04 Installation Guide: ProSTEPr' Effluent Pump Packages App ndix Splice SURViring Instructions e This appendix covers simple splice box wiring instructions. For more detailed explanations with field wiring sizes, rec- ommended breaker sizes, and field wire color charts, refer to Splice Box Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions (EIN-SB-SB-1).* For explosion -proof (Class I, Division 1) splice boxes, see Explosion -Proof Cord Connector Installation Instructions (EIN-SB-SBX-1). * These instructions also come inside each splice box. The splice box is provided with waterproof wire nuts neces- sary to splice the appropriate floats and pumps. Step 1: Push the appropriate pump and float wires through the watertight cord grips into the electrical splice box. Leave an adequate length of electrical cable coiled inside the riser to allow for easy removal of the pump and float assembly. Do not remove the colored markers or the paper tags from the float cables, and do not try to thread the markers and tag through the cord grip. Tighten the cord grips by hand, not by tool, then test the tightness of the cord grips by tugging on each cable. A cable is secure when the cord grip is tight enough to prevent slippage. Adequate lengths of cable should be left within the splice box to allow easy removal for future disconnecting and resplicing. Step 2: Run properly sized wires from the control panel to the splice box. The wires can be brought through a conduit, or can be direct buried using suitable direct -burial wire. Conduit that enters the splice box must be sealed with a conduit seal or acceptable watertight cord connection, to prevent the infiltra- tion of water into the splice box. The number of wires required depends on the control panel and the number of floats and pumps used. Refer to the Splice Box Wiring diagram provided for the control panel and check the float arrangement for your system to determine the number of wires you need. Wires should be color -coded or otherwise marked to help wire the control panel. The wire color chart in EIN-SB-SB-1* lists common colors recommended for each of the wires. Colors may refer to either the color of the wire's insulating jacket or the color of an electrical tape marker. * You can find this document on Orenco's online Document Library at www.orenco.com. - E NIM -EPS -1 © 2004 Orenco Systems® Inc.

All splices within the splice box shall be made waterproof using wire nuts or butt connectors and heat -shrink tubing as shown on the appropriate splice box diagram. The splices must be waterproof! Splices that are not waterproof may cause a malfunction of the pump controls if water should leak into the splice box. Refer to the wiring diagrams for instructions on how to connect the float switches. Step 3: Splice connections with waterproof wirenuts. a. Remove approximately 1/2" of insulation from the end of each wire to be connected. Prevent frayed strands as much as possible. b. Do not pretwist entire wire bundle. Only twist individual stranded wires slightly if needed. Hold wire bundle firm- ly 2 inches from wire ends. Fully insert all the wires together through the sealant into the connector. Continuing to hold wires firmly, twist connector clock- wise onto wires. c. Once a connection is made, tug on each wire entering the connector to check the mechanical connection. NOTE: Watertight connectors are not reusable. To change a splice, twist off and replace with a new connector.
