Design and construction manual for sand mound systems

The purpose of the design is to overcome site limitations that prohibit the use of conventional subsurface on-site sewage disposal systems. The use of sand mound systems has become a general practice in certain site conditions in Maryland for over twenty years. Basic Sand Mound Design and Construction is covered through Code of Maryland Regulation. systems, it nor contain does rules or regulations pertaining to onsite sy stems.

Mound Systems DESCRIPTION The mound system was originally developed in North Dakota in the late s and called the NODAK disposal system. Some soil types are unsu itable for conventional septic tank soil absorption systems. As a result, alternative systems such as the mound system can be used to overcome certain soil and site conditions.

Many of the considerations for designing a sand mound described below are based on ‘Wisconsin Mound Soil Absorption System: Siting Design and Construction Manual’ (Converse and Tyler, ). Successful mound performance depends on several design and location factors. mound system relying on subsurface distribution to in situ soils can be an effective solution where site conditions are not suitable for conventional treatment and disposal systems. Typical situations where mound systems might be applied include: Permeable or slowly permeable soils with a high groundwater elevation. The Wisconsin Mound system was developed in the early /s. In three manuals/ known as Package 1, 2 and 3 were developed. In these three packages were consolidated into the "Design and Construction Manual f6r Wisconsin Mounds" for 1) slowly permeable soils, 2) shallow permeable soils.
