Berestecky ' 31 Falling Leaf Lane Osterville, MA 02655 RE: Sampling of Wastewater Effluent from your Innovatrve/Alternative-(RUCK) System at,31 Falling Leaf Lane, Osterville Dear Mr. Berestecky, You will be granted permission to reduce sampling and monitoring of the wastewater effluent from your RUCK system at 31 Falling Leaf Lane, once a fourth test is received which meets the discharge limits. A public hearing was held before the Board of Health on August 21, 2007. The Board reviewed testing results for your RUCK system. Since January 1999, five samples were taken from your onsite UA system. Three of the four sample results were below the effluent wastewater discharge limit for total nitrogen. The Board voted unanimously to allow you to reduce the testing to once yearly for total nitrogen, once a fourth test is received which meets the discharge limits. Please make arrangements to schedule the sampling and testing to be conducted sometime before the end of the year. Since , Gam.

A copy of a paper from URI by GOLD etal on Pathogen Removal from Buried Sand Filters ' (RUCK Filters) 8. Nitrogen Definitions RUCK Systems are passive denytrifying septic systems. Residential RUCK Systems are constructed i ' by separating blackwater from greywater. The black water is the effluent from toilets and the kitchen sink. All other wastewater is greywater. The excreted organisms, phosphorus and nitrogen rich blackwater flows from the blackwater septic tank to a specially designed, aerobic, no maintenance, subsurface RUCK filter. RUCK filters are constructed in a watertight container with alternating layers of sand and crushed stone. Special inserts called "INDRAINS" are installed into the sand layers. Bacteria in i 1 the unsaturated RUCK filter oxidize the nitrogen to nitrate, creating desirable acid conditions to enhance 1 the removal of phosphorus and pathogens. Blackwater is then re-combined with greywater in the greywater septic tank. The greywater, containing biodegradable organic carbon, serves as the anaerobic electron donor to denitrify nitrate to nitrogen gas. The denitrification process adds alkalinity, converting 1 the liquid back to normal pR The redefined effluent can then be discharged to a standard sized leaching field. 1 A flow diagram of the RUCK treatment system is shown in Figure 1. Components of the system are: i separation of black and greywater flows, a blackwater septic tank, a RUCK filter, a greywater septic tank, and a standard leaching field. The design normally requires no additives or energy. The enclosures 1 in this booklet provide specifications and describe monitoring and maintenance of the RUCK System. Further, the DEP has issued letters clarifying the approval and testing requirements as well as not requiring a Certified Treatment Plant Operator. 1 We trust the above meets with PP our approval.

Ruck Systems are designed to remove nitrogen ' from wastewater, before being discharged into the environment. Nitrogen in groundwater eventually takes the form of nitrates which can travel long distances in the groundwater. High levels of nitrates can be a health threat to people in addition to having adverse effects on water quality in harbors, estuaries, ' bays, and marine environments of all types. The wastewater from your home is separated into two categories called "blackwater" and "greywater". ' Blackwater comes from the toilets and the kitchen sink. Greywater comes from all the other fixtures in the home. The blackwater and the greywater are separated within the house and flow from the house into two separate septic tanks. The blackwater then flows through the RUCK filter before combining with the greywater in the greywater septic tank. All of the wastewater that has left the house has now been collected in the greywater septic tank. From this point it flows into a distribution box and is discharged to ' the environment by what is called a soil absorption system. This system may be in the form of a leaching field or a leaching trench configuration. ' The RUCK filter is served by two vents. One vent runs back to the house and up through the roof. The other vent is outside the house. It is important that these vents do not become blocked as they provide air to the RUCK filter. This supply of air is critical to the treatment of the wastewater. If the vents are ' blocked, the RUCK system will malfunction and noxious odors may be emitted. The most important components of your wastewater treatment system as a whole are the septic tanks. ' These tanks are designed to allow solids materials to settle out of the wastewater. It is important that this settled out sludge does not overburden the septic tank and allow solid materials to escape with the water leaving the septic tank. These suspended solids will clog the RUCK filter or the soil absorption system. ' The maintenance schedule you have been provided with has been designed to insure that sludge build up is checked, and that the sludge is removed by a licensed septic hauler. The tanks should be inspected each year. The frequency of septic tank pumping intervals will be dependent on the volume and composition of wastewater passing through the tank. ' Do not dispose of non-biodegradeable materials such as sanitary napkins, disposable diapers, and other such material into your system. You should not dispose of cooking oil, fat, or grease in your system as this will accelerate the clogging of the septic tanks and/or soil absorption system and the result will be ' increased pumping costs. The system is not designed to treat hazardous materials such as cleaning solvents, pesticides, acids, ' disinfectants, gasoline, oils, kerosene or any other chemical substance that will interfere with the wastewater treatment system. Residential wastewater treatment systems can not properly treat such hazardous materials and they will pass through the system only to be discharged into the environment. ' The proper operation of your on-site septic system is critical to the health of the environment and your enjoyment of that environment. ' As an owner, you should be aware that your wastewater treatment system has been designed based on the number of bedrooms in your home. Any additions to the home will require the approval of the Board of ' Health as well as the Building Inspector. Your system is not designed to accept waste from a garbage 1 disposal. You should not connect a garbage disposal to your system without approval from the engineer ' who designed your system, as well as the Board of Health. The nitrogen removal capabilities of the system only provide high levels of treatment to the blackwater ' and for that reason, any ammonia based cleaners or dairy products should be dumped into the toilets or the kitchen sink. Dumping any exotic chemical compounds into the system may cause the destruction of the bacteria within the system and this will cause foul odors to be emitted from the vents. Normally, the vents do not smell. If a foul odor is present and persists, wastewater may have backed up into the RUCK filter. If a foul odor is being emitted from the vents, the distribution box and soil absorption components ' of the system should be inspected. If you would like the vent moved to another location for aesthetic or some other reason, contact the design engineer and the Board of Health. The system will fail to remove nitrogen if the vent is not properly located. ' The design engineer and installation contractor information should be recorded in the event that there are any problems or questions that you may have in the future.
