Question

The Following are true or false questions 1. A septic tank is sealed airtight. 2. Setbacks are set by the homeowners 3. A septic tank must be placed next to the well 4. A soil percolation test is used to measure the amount of storm water runoff. 5. We can only have one 100 year storm once in your lifetime 6. Topographic surveys show elevations 7. All soil types can carry the same loads 8. All ground cover types are the same for watershed areas 9. Sewers have a slight pitch and flow mostly by gravity 10. All heating systems have the same efficiency

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1- True

gases produced in a septic tank are dangerous, as a potential source of explosion and as a cause of death by asphyxiation if someone falls into or deliberately enters a septic tank. hence it should be watertight and airtight.

Answer 2- True

mostly it is set by homeoweners but it can not be enforced.

Answer 3- False

To protect your drinking water quality, locate your septic system and all potential contamination sources as far as possible from your well.

Answer 4- False

A soil percolation test  is ato determine the water absorption rate of soil (that is, its capacity for percolation) in preparation for the building of a septic drain field (leach field) or infiltration basin.

Answer 5- False

Its not necessary.storms don't wait every 100 years to come around, there's just a 1 percent chance they'll hit in any year.

Answer 6- True

A topographic survey shows the location, size, and height of these types of improvements, as well as gradual changes or contours in elevation.

Answer 7- False

different soil carry different loads.

Answer 8- True

all ground covers types are same for watershaeds area.

Answer 9- True

Limiting the pitch is meant to prevent waste water from running at a very high flow rate to enter the public sewer and interfere with the flow in the public sewer. flow due to gravity.

Answer 10- False

different heating system have different efficiency.
