Section 246-272B-06200. Sewage characterization.

(1) The design engineer shall identify sewage characteristics in terms of the following:

(a) CBOD5, TSS, O&G, BOD5, and fecal coliform bacteria;

(b) Other parameters that can impact treatment anywhere in the treatment sequence including, but not limited to, pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen; and

(c) Nitrogen and phosphorus, where either parameter is identified as a contaminant of concern.

(2) For LOSS treating sewage from nonresidential or commercial sources, the design engineer shall submit:

(a) Discharger information to show the sewage is not from an industrial facility;
