Presby Environmental Alternative Septic System
In the scenic Plains area of Fauquier County, Virginia, Hadley Environmental Services successfully installed an innovative alternative septic system, marking the third installation of its kind in the region. This project was driven by the necessity to find an economical and effective solution due to challenging site conditions, including a high water table and limited space available for traditional septic systems.
Upon conducting a thorough site and soil evaluation, including a perk test, it became evident that an engineered system approved by Virginia was the best fit. This system not only meets the economic and spatial requirements but also aligns with the latest environmental standards, addressing the Chesapeake Bay nitrogen reduction regulations. It requires an approved treatment unit for additional nitrogen reduction before disposal, showcasing a commitment to environmental sustainability.
The system features three specially manufactured 12″ corrugated pipes wrapped in fabric, designed to treat and disperse the effluent from the septic tank efficiently. Its mound design was chosen due to the shallow soil conditions on the site, although these systems can be installed in-ground in areas with well-drained and deep soils, eliminating the need for a mound. Additionally, these Presby systems incorporate vented mechanisms and use a special pulverized material as a filtering medium, enhancing their efficiency and environmental friendliness.
