5.       SUMMARY OF SOIL AND SITE CONSTRAINTS

There are no significant soil or site constraints that would prevent the installation of an Aerated
Wastewater Treatment System (AWTS) for wastewater treatment and spray irrigation for
treated wastewater disposal for the proposed dwelling.

The location of the proposed spray irrigation is to the west of the proposed dwelling. It is in the
location that is compliant with the buffers and setback distances required by Wollondilly
Council. This includes being more than 15m from dwellings, 40m from drainage depressions,
100m from permanent watercourses, 3m if the area is down-gradient from property
boundaries/driveways and 6m if the area is upgradient from property boundaries and
driveways.

In accordance with the Wollondilly Shire Council, 1500m2 of land suitable for spray irrigation
has been identified. The proposed irrigation is 365m2 which leaves the remaining 1135m2 as
a reserve area.

The loam to clay loam soil profile has ideal permeability and nutrient absorption properties for
this method of treatment and disposal. It is expected the proposed effluent management area
will be fully grassed following the completion of the proposed development.

6.       SYSTEM DESIGN

6.1      WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

         An Aerated Wastewater Treatment System is proposed for wastewater treatment. The
         design wastewater load is 800L/day. The owner is required to provide the Council with
         the AWTS manufacturer’s specifications of the proposed treatment system.
         (Information on proposed AWTS can be obtained from the manufacturer or NSW Heath
         Register of Accredited Sewage Management Systems at
         http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/publichealth/environment/water/waste_water.asp).

         The owner will need to lodge an application to install/operate a Sewage Management
         System under the Local government act 1993, Section 68. Council will require the
         owner to have selected an AWTS manufacturer and provide Council with the
         necessary plans and specifications including NSW Health Accreditation, tank
         dimensions and capacity, operation and maintenance details, plus Licensed Plumber’s
         name, address, phone number and license number.

         The AWTS will be installed and maintained in accordance with Section 5 of the
         guidelines ‘On-site Sewage Management for Single Households’ (Department of Local
         Government, 1998) and AS/NZS 1547-2012 ‘On-site Domestic Wastewater
         Management’ (Standards Australia, 2012). Upon approval from Wollondilly
         Council, the owner is to enter into a servicing contract with an approved
         servicing agent for the life of the system. Copies of the written service reports
         should be lodged with Wollondilly Council following each quarterly service.

6.1.1 LOCATION OF PROPOSED AWTS

         The location of the AWTS should be decided in conjunction with the licensed
         plumber in consultation with the property owner. The AWTS must be positioned
         on a stable, level base and be downslope of the building so there is sufficient fall from
         drainage outlets in the dwelling. The location of AWTS must be

            The exact location of the AWTS is to be decided by the installer in consultation with
             the property owner.
            It is to be at least 1.5m from any building.
            A power supply (and telephone line if telemetry or an automated monitoring/ alarm
             is fitted), will be required to deliver power to the treatment unit.
            Shall be located above the 1% AEP (1:100) flood contour.

         AWTS installation must comply with the manufacturer's recommendations, AS/NZS
         3500.2:2018 Plumbing and Drainage Part 2 Sanitary Plumbing and Drainage' and
         Council requirements.

6.2      PIPES

The sewer pipes between the plumbing amenities, treatment system and effluent disposal
area must conform with 'AS/NZS 3500(Set):2018 Plumbing and Drainage Set' specifying the
nominal pipe sizes and respective minimum grades. Table 1 contains these specifications.

than 60 metres, the minimum grade should be doubled, and inspection ports should be
installed at least every 30 metres or at an angle or change of grade.

The sewer pipes between the plumbing amenities, AWTS and irrigation area must be buried
at a depth that provides protection against mechanical damage or deformation, in
accordance with 'AS/NZS 3500.2:2018 Plumbing and Drainage Set'. Table 2 shows the
minimum pipe depth for trafficable areas.

7.       REQUIRED IRRIGATION AREA

The irrigation area needed to manage 800L/day wastewater load was calculated using
monthly water and nutrient balance, following the method described in DLG (1998). Soil
texture classification for Design Irrigation Rate is from ASNZ1547(2012).

The water balance requires a 238m2 irrigation area based on the following variables:
                 Warragamba median monthly rainfall;
                 Badgerys Creek monthly average evaporation; and
                 Application rate of 24.5mm/week or 3.5mm/day for clay loam subsoil found at
                  a depth of 500mm.

The nitrogen balance requires a 365m2 irrigation area based on the following variables:
                 AWTS will reduce Total Nitrogen to 30mg/L; and
                 Vegetative rate for managed pastures is assumed to be 240kg/N/ha/year

The phosphorus balance requires a 292m2 irrigation area based on the following variables:
                 AWTS will reduce Total Phosphorus to 12mg/L;
                 P-sorption of 300mg/kg for clay loam subsoil;
                 Bulk density of 1.5g/cm2 for intermediate soils;
                 Soil depth of 1m. Crop uptake is assumed to be 30kg/ha/annum; and
                 50-year design life of system.

The largest of the three methods (most limiting) is required. For this site, the largest area of
the three methods is 365m2.

8.        LOCATION AND METHOD OF IRRIGATION

         365m2 of spray irrigation is proposed for the proposed dwelling.

         Two quick coupling turf valves are connected to the buried distribution line so fixed
          access points are available for the connection of a moveable hose and sprinkler. See
          Appendix- Site Plan Sheet 1-3 for further information.

10.       SUMMARY

This assessment recommends the following:

         Installation of a domestic AWTS for wastewater treatment for the proposed dwelling;

         1500m2 of the land area is available for the spray irrigation;

         Installation of 365m2 spray irrigation for treated wastewater disposal at the location
          shown on the site plan and installed in accordance with this report; and

         Retain the remaining 1135m2 as a reserve area.

APPENDIX II       GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO MANAGE WATER QUALITY AND QUANTITY

Insinkerator style kitchen garbage disposal units should be avoided as they increase water
consumption and raise the nutrient and BOD concentrations of household effluent.

Water conservation can reduce the volume of wastewater that needs to be treated and
discharged on site. The residence should include appliances that are rated under the Water
Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) Scheme that includes:

         i. 4-star dual-flush toilets;
         ii. 3-star showerheads;
         iii. 4-star taps (for all taps other than bath outlets and garden taps);
         iv. 3-star urinals; and
         v. Water-efficient washing machines and dishwashers are to be specified and
         used wherever possible.

Chemical cleaning compounds and other chemicals that enter the treatment system should
be low in phosphate and salt.

Anti bacterial chemical cleaning compounds and other chemicals that enter the treatment
system should be avoided. This includes chlorine, disinfectants, bleaches etc.
