ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DESIGN,<br />

INSTALLATION, AND OPERATION OF HOLDING TANKS<br />

Consideration<br />

Liquid holding capacity >7 days<br />

wastewater flow generation. Minimum<br />

capacity = 1,000 gallons.<br />

There should be no discharge.<br />

High water alarm positioned to allow at<br />

least 3 days storage after activation.<br />

Frequent pumping is likely; therefore<br />

holding tank(s) must be readily accessible<br />

to pumping vehicle.<br />

Large tanks may be subject to severe<br />

flotation forces in high groundwater areas<br />

when pumped.<br />

Frequent pumping <strong>and</strong> residuals disposal<br />

results in very high operating costs.<br />

Assessing the reliability of wastewater modification methods is a com-<br />

plex task which includes considerations of a technological, sociologi-<br />

cal, economic, <strong>and</strong> institutional nature. Major factors affecting<br />

reliability include:<br />

1. The actual wastewater characteristics prior to modification<br />

compared to the average.<br />

2. User awareness <strong>and</strong> influence on method performance.<br />

3. Installation.<br />

4. Method performance.<br />

5. User circumvention or removal.<br />
