We feel like we are the go-to guys for competitors when they have questions on the regulations or encounter problems. Together we brainstorm the
issue, says Carl. These calls reinforce their outlook on the value of education
which, in turn, reinforces the GSDIA relationship across the industry.
GSDIA gives members a formal network connection the association
facilitates communication and teamwork, says Carl. Both men are GSDIA
trainers, and many members of their informal network encounter them in the
more structured classroom environment.
Father and son have teaching backgrounds. Carl taught agriculture
students hydraulics, pneumatics and equipment maintenance, while Scott
continues his work as a flight instructor. They are very comfortable in a soil
pit, a wetland bog, going one-on-one helping a landowner, and in front
of a classroom.
INESCAPABLE WETLANDS
About 25 percent of their work involves wetlands
in one way or another. It is easy to understand why
we do so much wetlands work, says Carl, because
the sites with better soils are already developed.
The first step for successful wetlands-affected sites
is to delineate the wetlands. Their attitude is that its
far easier to avoid them than impact them. If that is
not possible, the impacts must be understood
and mitigated.
The No. 1 issue is site access. You cannot fill or

When youre working in a cold climate, be sure to adequately insulate pipes, tanks and
system access points to prevent costly and inconvenient emergency onsite service calls
By Jim Anderson and David Gustafson
n cold weather areas like the Upper Midwest where we live, there are
often situations where the piping and tanks need to be protected from
freezing. For supply pipes from the house to the septic tank and the
tank to the drainfield, the best protection from freezing is to install the
pipes properly, on the correct slope and with proper bedding to eliminate
differential settling. The key to remember: The only thing in the pipe
between use discharges is air. If there is standing water because of a slight
bow in the piping, this is an area that will be subject to freezing
and plugging.

top of the tank. Many of our installers are still worried, though, because a

ace it, tires are expensive. To get the most value from yours, make
certain theyre properly inflated. As simple as that sounds, how many
of us take the time each day to check the air pressure?
Proper inflation is the single most important factor in extending tire life,
says Gary Schroeder, director of commercial vehicle and OEM sales for
Cooper Tire and the Roadmaster brand.
Over- and underinflation have negative effects on the tire by changing
its footprint, he says. Underinflation causes excessive head buildup and
internal structural damage. Overinflation makes it more likely for tires to
become punctured or broken by sudden impact.
Here are a few other tips for tire savings:
1. Follow axle scale weight
Dont rely on the sidewall of your tire for correct inflation. The sidewall
number indicates the maximum load of the tire and the corresponding
maximum cold inflation pressure for that load when used in a single or dual
configuration. It does not indicate the manufacturers recommended
inflation pressure.
For commercial vehicles, tire inflation should be based on scale weight
by axle and the load/inflation chart for the appropriate tire size.
TIRE TIPS
20 |
ONSITE INSTALLER
November 2015
Proper inflation is the single most important factor in extending tire life. (Photos courtesy
of Cooper Tire and the Roadmaster brand)
There are two scales for truck tires, Schroeder says. One is for singles,
like steer tires, and the other is for dual tires. A 12,000-pound steer axle
with 295/R22.5 tires calls for a minimum of 110 psi to carry 6,175 pounds
per tire. A 13,000-pound axle calls for 120 psi to carry 6,610 pounds per
tire. A dual axle may weigh 18,000 pounds. Thats 4,500 pounds per tire
requiring 85 psi.
2. Look for zippers
Running tires flat or 80 percent underinflated can damage their internal
structure, leading to fatigue or a zipper rupture.
A zipper rupture is a tire with a line of exposed broken cords that
usually measures 12 inches or more located in the mid- to upper-sidewall of
the tire, Schroeder says.
3. Rotate your tires
Since each tire carries a different weight, tires should be rotated to
equalize wear. Typically, left-front tires wear quicker than right-fronts.
Trucks with dual drive axles should have a tire rotation if the wear gets
to 3/32 of an inch to 4/32 of an inch difference from axle to axle, Schroeder
4. Consider nitrogen
NASCAR teams, commercial airlines and NASA use nitrogen rather than
air to inflate tires, primarily because of its chemical properties. Nitrogen
maintains tire pressure longer, resists heat buildup and reduces the potential
of freezing at high altitudes. Compressed air typically consists of about 78
percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen and 1 percent water vapor.
Nitrogen is an inert, nonflammable gas that does not harm tires,
Schroeder says.
Because oxygen molecules are smaller than nitrogen, they pass through
tire walls quicker. Truck tires with compressed air can lose up to 2 psi per
month. In contrast, tires filled with nitrogen take up to six months to lose
2 psi.
Oxygen in compressed air can cause steel tire cords to rust. It also causes
tires to oxidize, accelerating the rate at which rubber becomes brittle. Nitrogen
does not.
While air for the most part is free, nitrogen can cost $2 to $10 per tire,
although many providers offer lifetime fill-ups.
5. Dont rely on age
A tire is considered in-service the day of manufacture, even if stored and
not mounted. For this reason, its best to purchase the newest tires possible.
Tires that are 10 or more years old should be replaced even if the tires
appear to be undamaged and have not reached their tread wear limits,
Schroeder says. In some cases, a vehicle manufacturer may make a
recommendation for tire replacement earlier than 10 years.
Hint: A tires born on date or tire identification number (TIN) can be
found on the sidewall as part of the Department of Transportation number
and notes the week and year the tire was made. DOT H25R YC24 4305, for
example, indicates the 43rd week (October) of 2005.
6. Match tires to application
When purchasing new tires, make sure theyre a good match for the
application.

Metal septic and holding tanks were common in northern and central
Wisconsin and along the Lake Michigan shoreline from the 1970s to 1990s.
Although steel tanks are still approved under Wisconsin Administrative
Code, modern contractors will not install them given their history of

corrosion. When such tanks are located through sanitary surveys and
mandatory onsite inspections, they are replaced in accordance with the local
authoritys process.
An upgrade to the onsite system in 1983 had replaced most of the cabins

individual 500-gallon steel septic tanks with 1,500-gallon concrete units. The
contractor ran 4-inch Schedule 40 from each tank to a 5-inch discharge line.
It connected to a wye at the 8-inch inlet of the 34- by 6-foot-diameter pump
tank. From the opposite end of the resort, two additional cabin lines hooked
to a 5-inch pipe that ran from the back of the tank to the wye.
The pump pushed 61 feet of head 1,000 feet through a 4-inch Schedule 40
force main to a 100- by 41-foot-wide stone-and-pipe mound. When the pump
labored to lower the level of the tank, Simac assumed the drainfield had
failed. However, an electrician from Rogers Control discovered the pump was
no longer running at full capacity.
We shut off the pump and called Mike Oberg of Mikes Septic Service,
who pumped the tank twice while we lined up replacement parts, says
Simac. The mound was full, but dried in two days after emptying the
pump tank.
ORDER OF ATTACK
The Tuesday before the repair, Simacs called Sam Grulke of nearby First
Supply, who sized the on-demand alternating replacement pumps. None
were in stock, so Sam called the Xylem factory in New York and they put two
2 hp Goulds pumps on a freight truck Thursday morning, says Simac. He
also ordered a Xylem CentriPro SES duplex control panel.
Simac then called Vilas County Zoning and requested permission to
make the emergency repair without waiting for a permit. They approved, as
did the state Department of Safety and Professional Services. The permit
came later.
Simac also called Chad Johnson, owner of Concrete Products in
Rhinelander. I wanted the pumps on a rail system, but Chad didnt have
time to pour a lid with two adjacent risers, says Simac. He ordered what
was in stock:
800-gallon septic tank with Polylok PL-525 effluent filter
2,000-gallon pump tank
2,000-gallon overflow tank to handle power or pump failures for
one day
The ambient July temperature was hot enough to soften the tar between
the tanks and lids. Workers at the yard popped the lids and inserted paper to
make their removal easier. They also wet-prepped the tanks with tar to
counteract high groundwater.
WALK-AROUND
Simac originally planned the staging area on an old access road to the
resort. It meant driving equipment around the shoreline, navigating past
rental kayaks and canoes, a campfire pit with half-log benches, and crossing
the bathing beach.
On Thursday, Simac and Collins walked the site. Neither liked the
proposed scenic route. The direct path from the main road to the lake was
obstructed by a few trees and narrowed significantly between a cabin and a
red pine. Collins measured the space and announced he had just enough
clearance for his 14-foot-wide machine.

<< LEFT: Some guests move in for a closer look at the installation.
ABOVE: The Kobelco SK220LC excavator and tanks barely fit between the cabin and tree.
When the whole tank was exposed, its inlet was level with the surface of
the lake. If the heavy clay hadnt acted like a dam, the hole would have been
full of water, says Simac.
Although rotten, the tank refused to come out in one piece. Collins ripped
it in half and extracted the sections. He leveled the floor of the hole with the
bucket, then Simac finished with a shovel, a length of pipe and a level.
CHEERING SECTION
Galvanized waterlines buried 4 feet deep crossed the path to the lake.
Simac covered those areas with plywood sheets to distribute the weight of the
tank truck and excavator. Over the weekend, the resort owner cut down the
marked trees, including a mature maple at the corner of the pump tank.
Johnson also delivered the tanks, off-loading them 40 feet from the work site.
Because the shore sloped 20 degrees toward the lake, Collins helped
Simac erect a silt fence on Monday. They also brought a 2-inch and 3-inch
trash pump to dewater the excavation, and hay bales to filter the discharge.
DIG DAY
The sewage pumps arrived Tuesday at 8:30 a.m., along with Johnson and
Oberg, who pumped the tank. Resort guests were asked not to run water or
flush toilets for two hours. The excavation site was near a large cabin with a
50-foot-long deck, says Simac. We had about 60 enthusiastic guests
watching all day.
At 9 oclock Collins started the excavator, and everyone held their
collective breath as he maneuvered it through the gap. A soda cracker
wouldnt have fit on either side of the body, says Simac. As heavy as the clay
was, the machine and tank truck still left 6-inch-deep depressions. I dont
think we would have reached the site had there been high groundwater.
Collins built a level work platform from clay scrapped off the top and sides
of the 5-foot-deep tank. We could see it buckling as he dug, says Simac, who
directed Collins and watched that he didnt damage piping.

Spectators cheered as the excavator emerged through the gap carrying the
septic tank without its lid. We removed the lids to ensure the machine would
be able to lift the tanks, says Simac. Once Collins set them in the hole, the
soil was soft and wet enough for them to find level ground.
Simac used 5- to 4-inch fittings to downsize the discharge lines, then ran
a standard 4-inch pipe to the inlet of the septic tank. He set the pumps on the
bottom of the tank and direct-plumbed them straight up the 24-inch riser.
The resort was back in business.
The guests continued to celebrate as tanks went in the ground. Simac also
installed a clean-out at the inlet. The county inspected the installation before
Collins backfilled the hole.

Dave Roll,
AOWA
We have recovered sufficiently and are
seriously looking to reinstitute our scholarship
program. Im looking for an attorney with
knowledge of the onsite industry so we can provide that service again. We are
making a concerted effort to increase our membership. The more members we
have, the more powerful we are.
Do you offer anything besides your annual conference?
Roll: We partnered with the Alabama Department of Public Health
(ADPH) in February for a mini trade show and conference. This was the
brainchild of Sherry Bradley, the director of Environmental Services at ADPH.
We reached out to our members, those with state onsite wastewater licenses,
engineers and regulators, and put them in one place at one time. It was a
splendid conference with 275 attendees.
It took a little bit away from our annual conference. Normally we get about
260 people, but this year we didnt break 200. But it was probably very well
worth it. ADPH would like to hold the conference again next year, depending
on funding.
What do you see as the value of such gatherings?
Roll: I always invite our new members, even if they dont need their
continuing education, and tell them to talk to the exhibitors. You can get a
wealth of knowledge that you cant get out of a book or through online
education. It also creates a bond between the exhibitors and the people who
are going to use their products.
How is your training done?
Roll: Our association has contracted with the University of West Alabama
and one of their faculty members, Allen Tartt, for all our classes. We have a
training facility at the university with systems in the ground and components
to touch and feel. It has been a wonderful arrangement that adds academic
credibility to everything we do.
SALCOR
Dave Roll
What are the hot topics in Alabama right now?
Roll: Theres always the issue of what do we do with grease. Where do you
off-load it without driving 150 miles and who can process it? Some
municipalities will only take grease from within their borders. They are quick
to encourage the restaurants to build, but theyre not so quick to build facilities
to handle that waste. Id like to say were making progress, but I dont think we
are. Frankly, I dont know how you fix it.
Looking ahead, what do you see for the states onsite industry?
Roll: It depends on what happens with the housing industry. All it would
take is the housing industry rebounding and many of our problems would go
away. My hope is that our good folks can get back to work and make a
decent living. O

VERMONT
Eight of 13 people filling new water-quality positions in the Vermont
Department of Environmental Conservation come from the program that
regulates onsite wastewater. Commissioner David Mears says the push for
water quality has led to cuts elsewhere in his department, so the department
will rely more on contractors and system installers to make sure systems are
operating correctly. He says the larger need is dealing with polluted
stormwater runoff, but added that there are no easy choices when
resources are tight.
IDAHO
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality is considering
proposed changes to onsite wastewater regulations after a month-long
public comment period. DEQ says revisions to the Technical Guidance
Manual for Individual and Subsurface Sewage Disposal Systems will address
engineering requirements for public systems, in-trench sand filters, using
the method of 72 to determine effective soil depths, capping fill systems,
at-grade soil absorption systems, gravelless system products, and a revision
to the installer register permit rule. The proposed changes are available at
DEQs website, www.deq.idaho.gov.
MINNESOTA
Legislative action in Minnesota is resulting in changes to regulations
affecting onsite wastewater professionals. Those who fail to meet continuing
education requirements will now be able to apply for a one-year extension
from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. During that conditional
extension period, they will be able to make up any missed training and
retake up to two exams. The Legislature defined building sanitation systems
connected to septic systems as both plumbing and septic components, and
changed the bonding requirements for onsite professionals to match those
of the plumbing program. The changes are designed to streamline the
license application and renewal process and create flexibility for onsite
professionals. MPCA will be issuing specific instructions and fact sheets on
the changes in the future.

A property developer has been sued by the Missouri attorney general for
selling lots he said had approved onsite septic systems when they did not.
The suit filed last summer accuses the developer of installing holding tanks
rather than operating wastewater treatment systems in violation of state
water and consumer protection laws, and then charging people to have the
holding tanks pumped. People who bought lots from the developer had to
pay to have approved septic systems installed. The lawsuit seeks restitution
for the homeowners and an order prohibiting future sales of lots in the
subdivision. O

Stepping stones
Early in his career, Kendall joined the Georgia Onsite Wastewater
Association to get as much training as possible and to network with experts.
Eventually, he was asked to give presentations at onsite conferences and to
serve on the GOWA board of directors he became president in 2012. With
association lobbyist Bruce Widener and Assistant Environment Protection
Division Director Jim Ussery, Kendall is working to reverse revenue-killing
restrictions on land application of septage.
Joining their state onsite association is one of the best things contractors
can do to improve business and stay in business, says Kendall. The day they
think they know everything is the day they begin falling behind.
Meanwhile, Kendall coaches Cliff, 31, for the day when he assumes
responsibility for the company. I stress planning for when things go from bad
to worse, he says. Its not how fast you leverage yourself. Sustainable growth
