The Flying Pumper
Some of the best traits of a successful small-business owner self-reliance, determination and a curiosity to learn new things helped Bill Keller build an airplane from scratch and soar to new heights By Jim Kneiszel, Editor
hen you look at the cover of Pumper this month, you might wonder about the photo. It shows three men in an open-cockpit winged contraption parked in front of a vacuum truck. Its a great photo of the owners of J.L. Bishop Contractor Inc., one of our featured profile companies this month, but I need to put that photo in context. At the controls of the flying machine is Bill Keller, and hes flanked by partners Robbie Leonard, left, and Dick Nance. The trio runs the successful pumping company that specializes in environmental cleanup, cleaning grease traps and septic service. They bought the company in 2005 and have demonstrated a passion for the wastewater industry. But youll pardon Bill Keller if he has an even bigger passion in life. And, its obvious from our cover photo, that passion is flight. And not just any kind of flying, but the seat-of-the-pants excitement of piloting an experimental aircraft. What you see on the cover is the Breezy airplane Bill built by himself in a part-by-part manufacturing process that took three years and 2,000 to 3,000 hours. The challenge really is building an airplane. Very few people build airplanes anymore and most of them are from a kit, Bill explains. But building an airplane from scratch from tubes and welding metal is very challenging. Then psyching yourself up to fly it and do it safely is very difficult. Few people have built their own airplanes and made a first flight. Theres a tremendous sense of accomplishment to do that. At the controls of the Breezy is Bill BUILDING THE BREEZY Keller, flanked by partners Robbie Growing up in Ohio, Bill started Leonard, left, and Dick Nance. taking flying lessons at 16 and had his (Photo by Joe Mahoney) license at 17, as soon as he was legally able to get it. He spent the next 43 years flying everything from single-engine prop planes to multi-engine jets. Hes got a commercial pilots license, though hes never flown for pay, just for fun. Then, in 2000, after owning and flying many planes, he decided to build his own. He chose the Breezy, which looks like a few chairs on wheels connected to a large fixed wing and an engine in the back. He said the first Breezy was cobbled together in the 1960s by a group of drunken airport bums who wrote down suggestions about how to repeat the process and started selling plans. One of the early Breezy pilots gave Bill a ride and he was hooked. I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Theres nothing
in front of you and nothing underneath you. Unless youve flown in one, its hard to describe. Part of the appeal and charm is it appears to be minimalistic. There appears to be nothing there and you wear a leather helmet and goggles. LEARN TO WELD Bill has flown the Breezy for 10 years, and at 60, hopes to soon be able to take enough time off from running the pumping business to make trips to Florida and to Wisconsin for the annual Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture. The flights will be long ones in a plane that cruises along at less than 70 mph, but hell enjoy every minute in the air. Building a plane and flying it requires the same type of self-reliance and determination a pumper needs to succeed in business in the face of new technologies and constant competition. Like someone running a septic service business, Bill never gave up during the daunting process that saw him spend a dozen hours manufacturing a part the size of a quarter and Building an airplane attending vocational school from scratch from tubes to learn the TIG welding techniques necessary to build a and welding metal is very strong fixed wing. challenging. Then psyching In our profile feature yourself up to fly it and do it about J.L. Bishop, Bill talks at length about how his business safely is very difficult. has grown over the years. But Bill Keller all you have to do it ask him a question about flying and the conversation can get sidetracked for hours. He says fewer people today understand the freedom of flight or even have the chance to go up in a small plane, and it saddens him. People are more content to play a flight simulator game as opposed to going out and actually flying the plane, he says. But he wants to encourage people to recapture the fascination with flight Americans had 100 years ago in the time of the Wright Brothers. If theyre interested, he tells people to pursue their dreams to fly. STICK TO IT If youre motivated enough and want to do it, youll find a way, he says. Just go out and do it. Its a learning experience. And youll meet a lot of nice people. Some of the nicest people are pilots. Bill plans to make another trip next February, to attend his first Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo International in Indianapolis. I cant imagine hell wing in to Indiana behind the controls of the Breezy, but dont put anything past this can-do pumper. There have been some nice days of weather in February, he says.

APOLOGIZE: THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT

The customer is always right. Or so claims the popular, and seemingly motivational, poster so often seen in break rooms and reception areas. However, every service provider knows that the customer is not always right. In fact, sometimes the customer may be quite unreasonable. These days the motto is so deeply ingrained in the consumer consciousness that its both a customer expectation and the way in which a company must conduct business to remain competitive. Portable sanitation marketing expert Beverly Lewis shares her top reasons to develop an apology plan, as well as 10 tips for handling customer complaints in a professional manner.

FORMER PSAI EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ASSISTANT FACE MULTIPLE FELONY CHARGES

William F. Carroll, former executive director of the Portable Sanitation Association International, and a fired association assistant face multiple felony charges of embezzlement in Minnesota. Criminal complaints allege that Carroll, 66, took hundreds of fraudulent disbursements from PSAI accounts to support spending on gambling and drinking. The complaint indicates Carroll took $32,000 in transactions at or immediately outside a casino. A payroll audit revealed more than $350,000 had been misappropriated over three years. The fired assistant, Cynthia Rudiger, 68, received thousands of dollars in cash payments authorized by William Carroll, then concealed the payments by coding them for insurance or payroll adjustment, Carroll, Rudiger and Carrolls wife, D. Millicent Carroll, the fired PSAI industry/regulatory standards director, are being sued in civil court by the trade association, which alleges the trio stole $650,000 to $1 million from the organization.

Onsite System Rules Face Upgrades in Idaho

By Doug Day and Scottie Dayton
he Idaho Department of Environmental Quality is revising the Technical Guidance Manual for builders and septic system installers. The process started in spring with a public comment period. According to a department news release, the changes address practices and policies of the Technical Guidance Committee, setbacks from drainfields to cutoff trenches, horizontal separation distances, permitting and design requirements for alternative public and private subsurface sewage disposal systems, and approval conditions and compost disposal requirements for composting toilet units. The proposed revisions are available for download on the DEQ website: http://www.deq.idaho.gov/news-archives/2013/may/ water-tgm-revisions-comment-050613.aspx. Illinois After flooding in April, officials in Lake County waved and cut various
fees temporarily. About 4,500 properties were damaged in the flooding. Fees for building permits were waived for repair and restoration work, including permits for interior alterations, electrical work, heating and air conditioning and water heaters. With many septic systems flooded, the county reduced the rate for disposal of septage at the Lake County Public Works Mill Creek Water Reclamation Facility. Haulers were given reduced disposal rates from May 14 to June 1 and agreed to pass the savings on to customers. The normal fee of up to $40 per 1,000 gallons was cut to $7. New Hampshire The state Senate passed SB 11, giving newly created water districts the authority to tax private wells and onsite systems of property owners within proposed water/sewer utility districts. The bill resulted from the town of Stratham, which has no public water or sewer, seeking an inter-municipal agreement with the Town of Exeter to help attract businesses to the Route 108 corridor and to help offset tax burdens for property taxpayers. North Carolina A ruling by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management allows Nags Head property owners to replace onsite systems lost to storms provided they are 50 feet from the water at low tide. It also classifies the system as part of the house, which can be rebuilt if it has not lost 50 percent or more of its value to storm damage. Coastal Management is a division of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Pennsylvania The Upper Delaware Council and representatives from Pennsylvanias Wayne and Pike Counties believe the nitrate-restricting policy proposed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection would make land adjacent to watersheds unusable for most purposes. The policy establishes setbacks for onsite systems at 150 feet from water and 30 feet from streams with exceptional value and high-quality waters. It also would require a system barrier preventing effluent from traveling underground. Water quality monitoring studies by three agencies prove current measures to protect the water quality in the river basin are successful, according to the Council. Rhode Island A compromise bill (Senate 672 Substitute A) would create a stakeholders group to study how best to promote economic development while protecting the environment. The group must make recommendations by Jan. 31, 2015. The bill was introduced to counteract proposed legislation that would prevent cities and towns from becoming tougher on construction-related wetland and onsite system issues.

Marketing Can Be Childs Play

When it comes to identifying new customers, lets turn back the clock by trusting more, fearing less and opening ourselves up to those who need us By Brian Sullivan
y see were the words my two-year-old daughter, Maggie, used as she extended her arms toward an older woman sitting in the window seat on a spring-break flight to Mexico. The adult translation of those words is Excuse me, maam, your window seat is better than my middle seat. I would really love to jump on your lap so I can look out that window. This woman was obviously well versed in the language of baby babble and knew exactly what Maggie was saying. She pulled up the armrest, held out her arms, and without hesitation, Maggie plopped onto her lap. They then began cloud gazing while getting to know each other. My first reaction was one of hesitation. After all, I was a product of the dont talk to strangers era, and not only was Maggie talking, she was bouncing on the knee of a complete stranger. My second reaction was thinking there was no way that woman could want my drooling two-year-old climbing all over her. After several minutes, Maggie waved bye-bye to the woman and happily went back to her Barney video. But this was only the beginning. Throughout the week Maggie sat in several more laps, high-fived countless strangers and waved kisses to a dozen or more people she had gotten to know. I began thinking, at what point would Maggie become weary of new faces, put her guard up and perhaps stop trusting people she didnt know? At what point would strangers stop randomly smiling at, waving at and openly trusting her? Then I thought, what a shame. Why does it all have to end? Well, maybe it doesnt. While I dont expect strangers to randomly pinch our cheeks and blow us kisses walking down the street, maybe there is something we can do that will make people want to open up to us more. Because if they open up to us more, we can then learn more, influence more and serve more.
So how do we do gain access to the hearts and minds of as many people as possible? Kid Lesson #1: TrusT oThers as you did when you didnT Know any beTTer. Trust others, and they will trust you. Its a nice little game of give and take. If your defenses are always up and youre skeptical of others intentions, their defenses will be up and they will be skeptical of your intentions. So right now, think of one person you are reluctant to trust and trust him or her. Make the first move. You might get burned. But when you open your doors, more good than bad will enter. And surrounded by more good than ever, you can return to a time when, like Maggie, people felt more compelled to smile at you, laugh with you and let you know that their day was better because you helped them look out the window and into the clouds for a bit. Kid Lesson #2: PuT yourseLf ouT There by being fearLess. Sure, most kids are afraid of things such as green beans and cough syrup, but like Maggie, most have no problem cold calling people they dont know. Why? Because they dont yet have a fear of rejection. The most successful salespeople and business leaders attack opportunities that average performers deem outlandish. So think of three business opportunities or potential customers whom others think you have no chance of getting. Then identify the highest person in the decision-making chain and make the call, pay a visit or send the creative emailjust put yourself out there. And take comfort in knowing the top is not crowded. Most of your competition is too scared to take the risk that you are about to take. Kid Lesson #3: give access To exPecT access. Kids will not only talk to anybody, but they will let just about anybody talk to them. How about you? Will you give access to just about anybody? Lets face it, we are all busy and dont have a ton of time to burn every day. But if you expect people to call you back (access), you better be someone who calls others back. If you expect that high-level decision maker to let you in, you better let that salesperson calling on you in. in The end So there you have it, kids. Lets turn back the clock by trusting more, fearing less and opening ourselves up to those who need us. By acting in this childish manner, you will find yourself with a lot more customers, contacts and friends than you ever dreamed possible.

Virginias J.L. Bishop Contractor serves both environmental cleanup and commercial septic, grease service customers for a winning revenueboosting strategy By Ken Wysocky Photos by Joe Mahoney

AttAck
B
y providing services to a broad base of clients in different industries, emphasizing professionalism and reducing operating costs through more efficient operations, J.L. Bishop Contractor Inc. has increased net profits during the last four years and positioned itself for further growth in the environmental-services sector. Based in Midlothian, Va., the company offers a variety of environmental services, including removal of leaking oil tanks, emergency spill response and remediation, excavation and transportation of contaminated soil. In addition, the company installs and pumps out septic systems and installs and cleans grease traps, mostly for the food-service industry. Environmental work generates about half of the companys gross revenue, while septic installations and pumping produces the other half.

Bill Keller, left, and Dick Nance, right, visit restaurant owner Charlie Brown during a pumping of the restaurants grease trap. The owners often visit clients to check on customer satisfaction and get input. Being diversified enabled us to stay in business the last four years, says Bill Keller, who became a part owner of the company in 2005; his partners are Robbie Leonard and Dick Nance. Diversification enables us to keep employees busy, pay our bills and stay open. If all of your eggs are in one basket, and something bad happens to that basket, you could go out of business, he continues. We have a lot of employees its my responsibility to make sure they keep their jobs and can pay their bills. As such, were always looking for things we can build onto our basic core services. KeeP THeM CoMiNG BACK A good example is grease-trap cleaning, which provides the company with an entree to a completely new customer base, which in turn dilutes the risks associated with downturns in other areas. It also improved the companys cash flow, Keller notes. We might pump someones septic tank only once every five years, he explains. But a good conscientious restaurant pumps out its grease trap once a month, so we can get 60 pumpings within five years. The company has not grown much in terms of gross revenue during the last four years, but it has increased its profitability by doing what Keller calls Basic Business 101. In other words, develop good relationships with customers, treat them with respect and provide great service. People dont call us because they want to spend money, he notes. They call because they have a problem. Thats basically what we dowe solve peoples problems. If you do that and keep them happy, theyll keep coming back. As J.L. Bishop co-owner Robbie Leonard looks on, employee Matt Bryant empties a restaurant grease trap.
If you decrease the miles you have to drive, you can increase profitability. Thats why we prefer bigger tanks, which translate into fewer disposal runs each day. We also strive for route density grouping pumping jobs together to achieve better efficiencies.
GooD eQUiPMeNT iS KeY Providing good service requires reliable, modern equipment. J.L. Bishops stable of vehicles and machines includes: three single-axle International dump trucks with 8- to 10-cubicyard dump bodies; a Mitsubishi Corp. mini-excavator; a Kubota Tractor Corp. excavator; and two backhoes made by Case Construction Equipment (a division of CNH America LLC). For handling liquid waste, the company relies on a 2001 Bill Keller International with a 2,000-gallon steel tank; a 2005 International with a 2,000-gallon steel tank; a 2006 Peterbilt with a 4,000-gallon aluminum tank, made by Progress Vactruck and installed by Transway Systems Inc.; and a 2005 International with a 2,000-gallon steel tank, built by Keith Huber and used for environmental spills. When it comes to trucks, Keller believes operating efficiencies come through improved logistics rather than exponential leaps in technology. This is particularly true when, for instance, diesel fuel costs about $4 a gallon, and the trucks idle a lot and, as such, get bad mileage. So if you decrease the miles you have to drive, you can increase profitability, he says. Thats why we prefer bigger tanks, which translate into fewer disposal runs each day. We also strive for route density grouping pumping jobs together to achieve better efficiencies. eNViroNMeNTAl WorK The 2006 Peterbilt is used exclusively for handling oil and gasoline spills and other chemicals, not for septic pumping. Thats because wastewater treatment plants cant handle hydrocarbons mixed with septage. It throws the chemistry [at the plants] way off and does bad things, Keller says. To work with hazardous waste, Bishop employees must obtain a hazardous waste material endorsement, earned by passing a special test and an FBI background check. Anyone with a drunken-driving or

Upon arrival at a restaurant, employee Matt Bryant photographs the full grease trap with an address card to show the condition of the trap as he opened it. He photographs it again after pumping to show before/after photos to the client. felony conviction may not apply. The endorsement allows employees to handle everything from gunpowder to fuel oil to nuclear materials. All our drivers either have an endorsement or are in the process of getting one because it allows them to do both hazmat and septage work, Keller says. He points out that employees who can do both give the company more flexibility in more efficiently deploying manpower. Environmental work is subject to more regulation than septic pumping. For example, contaminated soil samples must be taken to independent companies for testing, and employees must follow certain protocols, such as filling out chain-of-custody forms for certain operations, such as taking soil samples. Its basic, simple stuff, but its different than working with septage, he says. When you pump a septic tank, the expectation is that its going to be full of septage that youll haul to a treatment center. With an underground oil tank, it could be full of PCBs and all kinds of other bad chemicals. Or with cleaning up oil spills, for example, you have to take soil samples before and after the job, he continues. You may have to move tons and tons of soil, then youre required to test the soil thats left behind. In Virginia, a couple companies will take care of tainted soil by treating it to decontaminate it, then use it to cap landfills. In other cases, they incinerate it. iMAGe iS eVerYTHiNG Presenting a professional image is one of the keys to the companys success. As Keller puts it, if two equally skilled plumbers show up at a job

Keep employees Happy and Healthy

Attracting employees to a dirty job is a common industry challenge. So when J.L. Bishop Contractor Inc. in Midlothian, Va., finds good workers, the company does everything it can to minimize employee turnover, says co-owner Bill Keller. One way we overcome that is to compensate them for what theyre worth, Keller says. Id pay them twice as much if I could, but the problem is marketplace constraints. I cant charge someone, say, $450 to pump a tank in order to double someones salary customers wouldnt pay that price. In addition, the company matches up to 3 percent of an employees salary for simple IRA contributions; pays for half of employee health insurance premiums and half of any hospitalization costs; offers seven paid holidays; and provides two weeks of vacation for the first five years of employment, three weeks for years six through nine and four weeks after 10 years, Keller says. The company also strives to provide employees with a safe working environment. It holds companywide safety meetings monthly, where employees hear presentations about safety-related issues, ranging from sanitation to tetanus shots to the hazards of smoking. We pick a different topic for every meeting, Keller explains. We might talk about an accident we read about in a newspaper story, then dissect it. All accidents happen as a result of a chain of events and most accidents are preventable. The older you get, the more you realize how fragile life is and how quickly it can be snuffed out by stupid things. Its my responsibility to make sure employees go home safe every day, he continues. Nothing we do is so important that its worth getting hurt while we do it. We dont just pay lip service to safety everyone here is enabled to tell someone else if they think someone is doing something unsafe. The company also offers financial incentives for employees who bring in new business, which can result from something as simple as a route driver walking across the street from a customers home and asking that neighbor if theyre happy with their septic service. Maybe they need a pumping right then and there, and then we dont have to make the trip out there twice, Keller says. Im not going to give you the dollar amount of the incentives, but I can say we reward them and that theyre very happy about it.
Bill Keller, right, runs a weekly safety meeting for all employees of J.L. Bishop. Co-owners Dick Nance, lower left, and Robbie Leonard, upper left, also participate.

and charge the same pricesone adorned with lots of tattoos, wearing grubby-looking clothes and driving a beat-up truck, the other clean shaven, neatly dressed and driving a clean vehiclethe latter always wins. As such, the company includes in an employee handbook a policy that requires all drivers to be neat and clean when they show up for work, and wear company-provided items such as pocket T-shirts, jackets and baseball caps. All employees must sign the policy. We basically want them to look like the kind of person youd like to take home to meet grandma, Keller says. We even pay for their footwear, because its dirty work and we consider it part of their uniform. When drivers return from their routes, theyre required to hose down their trucks and keep them clean. Vulgar language and off-color, sexist or racist jokesbasically anything that might offend any employeeare not tolerated, either. I dont care if its the funniest things you ever heard, everyone has different beliefs and feelings, Keller says. I think people respect that. We just dont have a problem with it. And we never have to worry about what our customers perceive, either. A BriGHT fUTUre Looking ahead, Keller anticipates more revenue growth in the grease-trap pumping sector, for several reasons. For starters, theres less competition because fats, oils and greases are becoming increasingly difficult to dispose of as more and more treatment centers refuse to accept them. Secondly, fewer companies are properly equipped or qualified to clean grease traps. In addition, increasing numbers of municipalities are requiring regular grease-trap inspections. Its a good niche for us to move into further, Keller says. Municipalities are getting very aggressive about regular inspections because theyre a good way to reduce the maintenance and cleaning costs for the pipes that go into treatment centers. Keller also sees the potential for banding together with members of a regional business groupcalled the Central Virginia Septic Associationto develop a private waste-treatment facility.
As times goes on, its getting more and more difficult to get rid of waste, plus prices keep rising at treatment plants, Keller says, noting that disposal rates have risen to as high as 10 cents per gallon at some plants, up from about 2 1/2 cents just five years ago. Some localities require regular grease-trap cleanings, but they wont accept the waste. Land application isnt an option because it requires too many hoops to jump throughI dont know anyone who does it. So weve talked about building our own facility, which wed operate cooperatively, he continues. Even though youre talking about millions of dollars were looking at it just as hard as we can. But the numbers absolutely have to work.

Expo Spotlight
Premier CV Series Hydroexcavator Offloads Debris Without Raising Tank

By Ed Wodalski
aking its trade show debut at the 2013 Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo International, the CV Series hydrovac from Premier Oilfield Equipment Co. drew attention from several sectors, including the industrial vacuum loading market, says Ian Dickinson, Premiers chief executive officer. The Pumper & Cleaner show provided an ideal opportunity for Premier to showcase our innovative and proprietary CV Series hydrovacs, and with it, our unique partnership with Caterpillar. We received tremendous feedback, both from customers and other people in the industry, Dickinson says. They certainly liked the patented Sweep design in our hydrovac units and the safety and efficiency it provides, he says of the mechanized Mud Sweep offloading system that eliminates the need to raise the debris tank and avoid potential overhead hazards. Dickinson says customers were also interested in the Caterpillar partnership and of the chassis optimization. The show was a great success, he says. We met with many current and potential customers. The response was fantastic and has driven significant opportunity for our products. We will be sure to attend this premier event in the coming years. We have a number of interested customers that we are working on orders for and received a significant amount of interest in the machines and order inquiry. Simple in design, the CV Series with carbon steel tank is available in four models (CV100 with tandem axle, CV100T with tandem axle and pusher axle, CV200 with tri-drive and CV300 with tri-drive and pusher axle). Water capacity ranges from 1,620 gallons in the CV100 to 2,340 gallons in the CV300, with debris capacity of 13 and 14 yards (CV300). You dont see a lot of components added on, says company founder and chief operating officer Gary Harms between demonstrations. You have your debris and water tank integrated as one, a couple of silencers, a filter, blower and boom. Its simple to maintain and simple to work with every day. Developed in Canada, Premier purchased the patented Mud Sweep
Gary Harms (left), founder and chief operating officer for Premier Oilfield Equipment Co., explains the offloading features of the CV Series hydroexcavator to an Expo guest. and Mud Slide offloading system three years ago. You open the back door and the dirt and water fall out [approximately 60 percent], Harms says. And we sweep out the rest. The mechanically assisted Mud Sweep system also makes compacted debris easier to offload, he says. It eliminates taking the tank into the air, which is inherently dangerous. You close your door and about two minutes later youre on the road. Harms says the company has put about 400 trucks with the Sweep system tank body on the road since 2002. The trucks boom is mounted to the elliptical head of the debris tank, rather than the top shell, for added structural strength. The boom, seated along the passenger side rear fender when traveling, swings door-to-door and is controlled by wireless remote. It has a 26-foot reach and excavating depth of 20 feet without additional piping. We use the Robuschi blower system. It pulls about 6,200 cfm at 27 inches of mercury, Harms says. A Cat pump feeds water to the van-mounted boiler. Mounted on a Caterpillar chassis, the hydroexcavator is powered by Cat CT13 (12.4 L, 410-475 hp) and CT15 (15.21 L, 450-550 hp) six-cylinder diesel engines and performance matched to the Cat CX31 automatic transmission (six forward speeds and one reverse). 970/542-1975; www. poequipment.com.

A frustrated poster looks for answers to why hes always left with a hose-full of waste after hes finished pumping
I have to disconnect from the truck (with the valve closed of course!), and drag that end to the septic tank and pour what is sitting in this 75 feet of hose back into the tank. I know physics and gravity are at play here, and I was wondering what an option might be. Im tired of dragging these heavy liquidfilled hoses around, and then have the customer frown when I have to put some of the liquid back in the tank. It has really made my job miserable and doesnt make me look very professional. The mess all over the bed of the truck is always an issue too. I was thinking about a shut-off valve at the end nearest the septic tank, but would that just vapor-lock and leave the liquid there? Or would it actually clean out what is left in the lengths of hose?
Question:
I pump from the bottom of my trucks tank through a 3-inch gate valve. If I pump a tank and use, lets say, 75 feet of hose, when the septic tank is empty, I have a little under the 75 feet worth of liquid caught into my suction hose. Even though the pump is still pumping it just sucks air and leaves this liquid trapped in the hose. So in turn
Answers:
The only time I get a hose full of liquid is when I fill the truck and have the primary shut-off kick in. Otherwise the hose gets sucked fairly dry. Now to get the last of the gunk out of the hose, I suck up a 5-gallon bucket of clean water while I still have good vacuum. This keeps the hoses clean. If I have to drain back to the tank, I make a 5-foot loop and walk it back to the tank. If I have a thick and heavy tank I will walk the loop to the truck and then wash out the hose.

Somethings wrong here. You should be sucking your hose dry. Maybe you are losing vacuum when the septic tank is empty? Try closing your gate valve for a minute to build up vacuum then open quickly to suck your hose dry. I do this a couple of times to make sure hoses are clean. It would be better if you pumped into the top of the tank and not through the liquid already collected. As already mentioned, close the valve and let some vacuum build up. This might take a minute or two depending on how big your pump is, how much hose you have out and how much liquid you have in the tank. Then quickly open and close the valve. You may have to do this a couple of times to get the desired results. Look around when you pull up to the customers residence to see if they have a garden hose handy. This isnt always an option, but it works well to clean out your hoses while still pumping. Also, walk back along your hoses while draining them toward the truck while still pumping.

ryan Hages first service call as a small business owner showed his willingness to learn new skills and overcome any obstacle. The 21-year-old entrepreneur spent five hours married to a shovel trying to locate the septic tank after the homeowner gave him a false lead. When he finally found the lid for the 2-foot-deep tank on the other side of the property, Hage felt so bad about his performance that he gave the owner a discount. Id never pumped a septic tank in my life, but I knew everything about vacuum trucks from working in my parents portable restroom company, says Hage, who opened APS (Advantage Pumping and Septic) Environmental in North Highlands, Calif., in 2003. Soon thereafter, Hage became certified as a vacuum truck technician through the National Association of Wastewater Technicians and hes been expanding his knowledge base to serve customers ever since. Hages philosophy of accepting work, then figuring out how to do it, more than doubled his annual revenue every other year until 2008. As the company expanded into pumping commercial, industrial and municipal stormwater, Hage also built a private wastewater treatment plant, branched into portable sanitation and bought a carwash pumping company.

iNVeSTiNG iN THe fUTUre I dumped every penny I had back into the business for the first seven years, says Hage. I drew a salary, but I rarely took out money for personal use. My satisfaction came from buying equipment with cash from projects turned down by other contractors. Today, the environmental company services a 200-mile radius covering central and northern California. Pumping grease accounts for 15 percent of annual revenue, septic 10 percent, carwashes 25 percent, stormwater 20 percent, pipeline cleaning and inspections 25 percent, and hydroexcavating 5 percent. The companys 10 employees communicate via smartphones and all the trucks are equipped with GPS technology. Hage was born to pump. As a toddler, he spent time riding along on routes with his grandfather, who owned a portable sanitation and septic pumping business. Later, his parents, Steve and Gayle Hage, bought the restroom side of the business and young Bryan remained by their side until they sold Chucks Portable Services when he was 18. trial-and-error experiences taught me how to do There is no better experience than working next to ones parents, says Matt OSullivan cleans a grease trap at Capitol things.

WASTeWATer PlANT BeCKoNS A year later, the partners spent the profit on a 2005 Isuzu chassis and built a portable restroom truck carrying four units, a 150-gallon water tank and a 350-gallon waste tank. Despite hiring a driver, father and son couldnt resist occasionally running the routes, and soon they had 220 units rented with requests for more. The next step was buying 100 more restrooms and another truck, says Hage. The move would marry me to the business and I didnt want that. He sold the restroom side of the business and used the money to build AquaTec, a private wastewater treatment plant that enabled Hage to pump stormwater from construction sites and municipalities. We were receiving numerous calls for the service, but the Sacramento treatment plant wanted just domestic waste, he says. The only plant accepting stormwater was in Oakland 100 miles away. With sights set on diversification, the Hages attended trade shows to learn about dewatering equipment and toured a private plant in Arizona. Then the partners designed their plant and Sacramento County approved the plans. The 3,000-square-foot facility took a year to permit and build. It opened in 2007.
Let It rain
Co-owner Bryan Hage of APS Environmental thrives on challenges that allow him to enter new fields, try different equipment and gain experience. The environmental branch of his company focuses on removing high volumes of stormwater from industrial sites and commercial, municipal and residential stormwater vaults. Cleaning vaults and the stormwater filters for Target and Lowes Home Improvement Warehouse stores provides 20 percent of the companys revenue. Contracting to clean pipelines accounts for another 25 percent. Many projects require working at night to avoid affecting customers and businesses. If they want us there at 2 a.m. and done by 4 a.m., that is what happens, Hage says. During the grape-harvesting season, APS also pumps the water used to wash 40,000-gallon fermenting tanks, storage barrels and bottles at two major wineries.
Haulers offload into a Muffin Monster grinder (JWC Environmental) that removes inorganics and homogenizes the load; then its pumped into two 30,000-gallon mixing tanks. When a batch is ready to dewater, sludge flows to a two-channel rotary fan press (Prime Solution Inc.) with a metering pump and polymer feed/blend system. Filtrate is stored in six 8,000-gallon tanks and time-dosed to the sewer, while cake at 17 to 22 percent solids goes to a landfill. We processed 250,000 to 300,000 gallons per month, says Hage. Because we were a small operation, we limited usage to ourselves and other companies that took care of our customers while we were on vacation. MiGrATiNG To THe WeB Hage also branched into carwash pumping in 2007. Then he bought Thrifty Rooters carwash division from Bill Artamenko, owner of Inviro-Tec. Hage bought a Barringer wet/dry vacuum truck with 2,650-gallon carbon steel debris tank and 500-gallon freshwater tank from Keith Huber to handle the added work. That kick-started us into major vacuum loading and pipeline-cleaning jobs, Hage recalls.
(continued)
Rather than invest hefty sums into odor control, Hage approached competitor Artamenko and suggested a merger. Artamenko agreed and Hage moved his equipment into Inviro-Tecs building. The combined plant, operated by Steve Hage, processes 800,000 gallons a month from all haulers. ToUGH JoBS ABoUND A major break came when an environmental company subcontracted APS to excavate 120 cubic yards of 3/4 stone used to filter stormwater at AeroJet, a space and defense contractor. Four workers ran the wet/dry vacuum truck nonstop for 16 hours, dumping the gravel onsite. That job led to other work like cleaning storm drains and pipelines. One such pipe-cleaning project involved jetting the 6-inch drainage systems running under the spillway gates of three hydroelectric dams. Hage rented a crane and trailer-mounted jetter, then hoisted the machine on top of the spillways. The work took five days, and Hage spent the profits buying a trailer-mounted 4,000 psi/18 gpm jetter from US Jetting. Rainstorms, however, made the phone ring. During expansion of Folsom Dam, the stormwater contractor hired APS to remove 350,000 gallons of runoff in three days from 30 20,000-gallon Baker tanks. The construction permit limited road travel from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., says Hage. To meet the deadline, I ran my three trucks and subcontracted with other companies for five more trucks with operators. The coordinated effort was another huge financial break. GoiNG BiG As commercial and residential stormwater accounts grew, workers usually serviced the vaults with the wet/dry truck, but it made the work hard and take longer than needed. After acquiring another municipal customer to justify the purchase, Hage bought a 2002 Vac-Con V309LHA/1000 combination sewer cleaner from Municipal Maintenance Equipment. With the Vac-Con machine, Hage improved the companys ability to provide stormwater collection and municipal pipeline cleaning. We have a MyTana push camera system for inspecting 3- to 8-inch pipes, and subcontract mainline inspections, he says. My next major purchase will be an inspection system, because never turning down a job will always open the door to unlimited opportunities.
To attract business beyond the Sacramento Office Manager Eleshia area, Hage launched a website focused on Hall and owner Bryan Hage talk in the office commercial, industrial and municipal markets, at APS Environmental in and listed services he didnt yet offer to open North Highlands, Calif. doors. I said yes to every job, and used whatever equipment I had, he says. Customers never questioned the rig as long as it achieved the desired results. If a bigger machine would have made the work go faster, Hage discounted his time, then bought the proper equipment when he had the money. The 2008 economic collapse created new challenges. Hage bailed out of septic service, and went without a salary that year to retain his employees. He also faced continuing odor problems at AquaTech.

Facing increasing septic system failures and a vacuum in approved technologies, officials embark on a journey to update regulations for the first time in 35 years By David Steinkraus
n January the Ohio Department of Health released its 2013 report on failures in household sewage treatment systems. On the surface the report doesnt look positive. It says almost one in every three household systems is suffering from some degree of failure. Underneath that broad result reported in the popular press is a more complicated picture. For example, the systems with the highest failure rate, 56 percent, are those about which no history is known. The lowest reported rates of failure were for septic or pretreatment systems combined with a leach field, 14 percent, or combined with a mound system, 3 percent. To learn more, Pumper talked to Andrew Thomas, a sanitarian program specialist with the Ohio Health Department. Pumper: In the earlier 2008 report the failure rate was 23 percent, and in 2012 it was 31 percent. Why do you think the rate went up? Thomas: One reason we have discussed is a greater awareness of failing systems. In 2008 there wasnt a clear definition of what constituted a public health nuisance. Because of changes to the law, in 2010 Andrew Thomas can be counties received standards to measure reached by email at Andrew. systems against. They knew what they were thomas@odh.ohio.gov or by looking for, and when you know that youre phone at 614/644-0258. more likely to find something. Also, in 2012 more local health departments responded to the states request for information. This time around we tried to streamline the survey so completing it required less work by local health departments. This survey is part of the requirements of the Clean Water Act, and Ohio EPA must submit information on water and wastewater infrastructure needs to the federal government every four years. I understand this was the second time Ohio EPA has partnered with the Ohio Health Department to prepare the report because the partnership provides better information. Ohio EPA oversees municipal sanitary systems but has little information on household treatment systems because those are under the oversight of the Ohio Health Department. Pumper: From looking at the report it seems the age and type of system is a factor? Thomas: In part thats true. Some systems may have been designated as failing just because no one knows whats there. In other cases there is very little paperwork [indicating] what was installed decades ago. People would apply for a septic system permit and be very imprecise; they would say they were building at the third place past Doc Johnsons farm, and that was about
all the information recorded. In some cases we can find the tank but dont know if the tank discharges to a leach field or is tied into the field tile. And in many cases local health departments just do not have the resources to investigate all these unknown systems. Pumper: Some of those older systems also discharged to surface waters and have high failure rates, but those are now banned in Ohio, right? Thomas: Its not completely banned. Any replacement system discharging to surface waters requires coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for Ohio. No system for new construction is allowed to discharge. If an onsite system is feasible, there can be no discharge to surface waters. Pumper: If not all health departments responded to this survey, are system failures still under-reported? Thomas: Yes. I think some areas have better information than others. We have some counties with comprehensive operation and maintenance programs for home sewage systems, and they actively monitor systems. Some counties focus only on the more complex systems. For example County health they may inspect a septic tank with a leach field only every 10 years departments will be but will check aerated treatment able to adopt rules more units annually or biannually restrictive than the states because the electrical and mechanical components in those rules, but unlike the past systems can fail if not properly they wont be able to act maintained. Other counties have at will I believe they no monitoring program and are aware of problems only if someone will also be required to reports a concern. Sewage may be do an economic impact emerging on top of the ground, but analysis as part of if the homeowner is not concerned and it is not reported, no one looks that justification. at the system.
- Andrew Thomas
Pumper: Are you looking at new regulations? Thomas: Weve been drafting new rules for two and a half years. We just finished with the first public comment period. An advisory committee will review the comments received during the past couple of months. Then a second draft of the rules will go to Ohio Public Health Advisory Board for its comments, and I believe they will be accepting public comments for the first 30 days of their 60-day comment period. We expect review of the rules will last into the fall, and we anticipate they will take effect Jan. 1, 2014.
50
Pumper: What is the gist of the new rules? Thomas: Wow, thats a very broad question. Its a 35-year update, from 1977 to now. Our goal is to make the rules more consistent across the state because now there can be significant differences from one county to the next. We need to bring the rules up to date with current technology and scientific understanding of how wastewater is treated in the soil. One requirement will be for each county to establish an operation and maintenance program for systems. For upgrading older systems, money is already available through the Water Pollution Control Fund under Ohio EPA, and several counties have been very successful in getting financial assistance to update or replace older systems. Were proposing to add some new technologies to those allowed under the current rule. Mound systems, for example, will be included. They can be used now, but it was done as a special approval, which allowed us to include some standards about the design of these systems. Were also adding different leaching products. All of these additions increase the options for installations on challenging sites. County health departments will be able to adopt rules more restrictive than the states rules, but unlike the past they wont be able to act at will. They will have to petition the state health director to approve their rule, and they will have to justify why their more stringent rule is needed. I believe they will also be required to do an economic impact analysis as part of that justification. Another section of the new rules concerns the education of system owners. We will develop materials to teach sanitarians, contractors, real estate professionals and homeowners about home systems and how they

should be treated. Education will be a big part of our focus when the new rules take effect. We also address operation and maintenance inspections. If a homeowner has a service contract on a system, by furnishing inspection reports from the contractor they can eliminate the need to have a county inspect their system. Were already seeing this in part. On newer systems one requirement for the homeowner is to have a service contract for the life of that system. I think well see more need for service contracts as older systems are added to the existing county operation and maintenance programs or replaced with new ones. That may be in a couple of years; it may be 10 years, but eventually I think regular maintenance will become more common.

Insuring Human Assets
Would your business suffer after the sudden death of an indispensible worker? If so, consider key person insurance for help financially at a difficult time By David Steinkraus
mong your employees, one or a couple probably stand out. Have you thought about what would happen to your business without these employees? Consider this situation: You have a technician who handles half of your work and is so good with customers that you have a great deal of repeat business and new business. This technician can handle minor equipment repairs, explain septic system maintenance clearly and can handle the business when youre sick. What would happen to your business if this wonderful employee were killed in a auto accident? Obviously you would have to hire a replacement, but it could take a couple of years before the replacement reaches the same level of skill and customer satisfaction. And meanwhile you may lose some business and revenue because you cannot be everywhere. And what about the repairs? You would have the added expense of hiring someone to do those. All of this would cost your company money, which you may not have or would be hard to come by.
in the absence of a primary provider may be more stressful than the situation your company is in. Also, a key person policy may be transferred to an employee upon retirement, providing an extra bonus for years of good service to your company. LENGTH OF TERM When you consider this type of insurance, you need to determine the length of the policy term. Key person policies may be either term insurance or permanent (also called whole life or universal life insurance). Permanent insurance remains in force forever. A term policy has a specific end date. The type you choose depends on your circumstances. If you and your key employee are both young and plan to remain together until you retire, permanent insurance may be the way to go. If your key employee plans to retire in 10 years and move out of state, or if in eight years you feel the business will be strong enough to withstand the loss of the employee, think about a term policy. You could set a goal for the end of a term policy, for example the hiring of a third technician or a second office assistant. The big difference in these policies is cost. Term policies tend to be considerably less expensive than permanent policies. If you want to pursue this type of insurance, keep a few things in mind: First, deal with an insurance agent who has experience helping small businesses. What you are able to purchase is governed by the insurance laws of your state, and there is no substitute for a knowledgeable guide who knows what questions you need to answer. Second, dealing with an independent agent can help. As with any type of insurance, an agent who deals with a variety of underwriters can shop your needs around and get you the best deal. This is especially true in life insurance, where the market is very competitive. Third, have an idea of what rate class your employee may fit into, for example a non-tobacco user. The rate class will affect the cost of the premium. Potentially dangerous work site tasks, such as confined-space entry or operating heavy machinery, are not hazardous enough to increase the premium, however. You have to be a police officer or firefighter for that to happen. Fourth, ask about premium discount thresholds. These may make the cost of higher coverage cheaper. For example, you may pay one rate for $450,000 worth of coverage, but if you cross the $500,000 mark, a discount kicks in, lowering premiums below those for the lesser amount of coverage. AVERT DISASTER Key person insurance can help your company withstand disaster and perhaps stay in business, and it can do good for the loved ones of the people you depend on. That builds a stronger relationship between your company and your employee, and we all know that businesses thrive on good relationships.
CRITICAL WORKERS How do you protect your business from the consequences? One way is with a particular type of life insurance called key person or key man insurance. The coverage is intended to help your business survive the transition after the loss of a critical employee. If you havent thought about this, youre not alone. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners performed a survey a couple of years ago and found that although seven out of 10 businesses said they were very dependent on a few key people, fewer than a quarter of those dependent businesses held policies to compensate for the loss of those employees. Mike Rice, an agent with the Thomas Ward Insurance Group in Chicago, has an idea about why so few businesses have key person insurance: Theyre not thinking very far ahead. Its understandable because people who have businesses are worried about pressing short-term, day-to-day problems, he says. They have the necessary or required property insurance on the building and equipment, for example but there is no protection for a different, more remote threat, he says. Key person insurance can help by providing the amount of money your business needs to get past the loss of an employee and fully back on its feet. In the event that key person is your business partner, the insurance could provide a sum sufficient for you to buy out your partners heirs. To do any of this you must have the consent of your employee, Rice says. It is illegal to take out insurance on people if they dont know about it. Premiums for these policies are typically paid by the business taking out the insurance, and the payouts flow to the company. But nothing prevents you from stipulating that part of a payout goes to the lost employees survivors. They, too, will have suffered a loss, and their financial condition

More ATU Advice

By Jim Anderson
Careful evaluation of complex operating systems is required to ensure excellent results over the life of the unit
ast month I explained general operating characteristics and air supply concerns of operating aerobic treatment units. This month Ill look at what service providers should check in the aeration chamber of a unit. Ensuring the proper operation of an ATU requires several evaluations. Good mixing of materials in the chamber is required to achieve the expected level of treatment. This puts the organic material in contact with the microorganisms in the chamber. Just like when we use soil or other media for treatment, having contact and time are important in the aeration chamber as well. If there is not good contact and the waste is not there long enough, the treatment will not happen. Visual inspection in the chamber while operating should show a rolling appearance of the liquid and you should hear the sound of mixing water; if these are not present, a likely aeration problem needs to be addressed - perhaps orifices are clogged, air supply pipes are broken; something needs attention. THREE FACTORS Other items need to be evaluated, requiring taking a sample from the chamber. These parameters are dissolved oxygen, pH and temperature. Dissolved oxygen concentration in the aeration chamber can be checked by collecting a water sample and using an oxygen meter or colorimetric test to determine the oxygen content. The dissolved oxygen content should be greater than 2 mg/L. This demonstrates there is adequate aeration for the microorganisms to facilitate breaking down the waste. If the dissolved oxygen content is high, above 6 mg/L, then the unit may have just been turned back on before the time of the service call. The service provider should discuss the need for continuous operation with the homeowner and explore why the unit may have been turned off. Issues related to either noise or odor should be addressed. For instance, homeowners may turn off a compressor if its running outside a bedroom window. A pH meter can be used to test the pH of the water. A pH in the neutral range, around 7.0, is good for microbial growth. If you are a service provider, recognize a pH meter needs to be calibrated periodically to insure proper readings. Most meters do not do well carried around in the cab of a pickup, where they are subjected to extreme heat and cold, dust, etc. They need to be protected and cared for properly. Temperature in the unit can vary, though a moderate temperature is best. A temperature too high or low will not be conducive to microbial growth. This is one reason why particularly in cold climates a unit that is only used periodically in the winter will not perform well. The bacterial action decreases as the temperature decreases resulting in reduced treatment. In cases like this, an aerobic treatment unit as part of the treatment train is not the best choice.
SLUDGE LEVEL In systems with a separate aeration chamber, you can use a probe to check for accumulation of sludge in the bottom of the system. The amount of biomass is measured using a 30-minute settleability test. For this youll need a beaker or other container it doesnt have to be glass with 10 equal graduations on the side. A mixed liquor sample is pulled from the aeration chamber and allowed to settle for 30 minutes in the beaker. At the end of the 30 minutes, the solids and liquids have separated. The solids should be between 20 to 60 percent of the volume. If the volume is greater than 60 percent, youll need to pump solids from the system. This leads to an interesting point that gets brought up a lot there have been suggestions that only a portion of the material be removed. Any good pumper will tell you that if you want to get rid of the excessive solids you will need to pump the whole amount because in a tank with liquid and solids, the last thing to come out are the solids. So if the test indicates the unit needs to be cleaned all of the material has to come out. PLUGGED MEDIA The color of the biomass material on the media should be checked. The color should be brown and not black. If the biomass appears black, aeration should be checked and the chamber pumped. Also check for plugged media, which is caused by excess biomass growing on the media over time. Not only will the biomass cause plugging, but it may also lead to a condition where the biomass is floating as it grabs onto air as it is being aerated. When this condition occurs or there is bridging of the biomass across the media it is time to clean the media. Blow air through the media using a wand from underneath to clean it. You can also pressure wash the media. In some instances, the media may be beyond cleaning and will need to be replaced. USE THE RIGHT PARTS One final note if you are considering repairs or replacing parts: You should check with the manufacturer to see what other maintenance is required and how it should be performed. The manufacturer can provide guidance specific to the product. The recommendations given by the manufacturer need to be followed. This may involve specific manufacturer training. Additionally, use only replacement parts approved for the particular ATU model. These are engineered systems designed to function using specific parts or types of equipment. Failure to follow these guidelines will likely result in a loss of performance. If the unit is installed to meet specific BMP requirements this may void the operating permit.

IndustrIal blower
The Jurop Pvt blower from CEI Chandler Equipment is designed to produce ideal pressure and vacuum at a lower noise level with less maintenance costs. It features labyrinth seals that eliminate common in-the-field failure of overfilling gear oil within the front and rear gearboxes of the blower, which can cause the drive gears to mend/melt together, ruining the blower. The labyrinth seals allow for the oil to escape into the blower housing and to be expelled into the silencers. The seals are designed to take the gear oil back to the correct operational level. 800/342-0887; www.chandlerequipment.com.
vacuum truck blower

RB-DV Hi-Vacuum truck blowers from Robuschi USA feature an airflow range from 400 to 6,200 cfm. Air injection manifolds allow it to operate at 28 inches Hg continuously without the need for a vacuum relief valve. The lightweight manifolds and low-pulsation technology ensure lower noise attenuation and less vibration by 10 dBA. The fabricated and cast manifolds and feet assemblies can be custom made to suit PTO angle and lower blower between chassis rails, as well as providing handy lifting hooks for safe and easy assembly and removal. Rubber mounting feet are included with custom-made feet assemblies to ensure chassis flex doesnt affect durability. 877/424-1020; www.robuschiusa.com.
(continued)
vacuum power booster

The Power Booster from Pressure Lift, available in 3-, 4- and 6-inch models, provides increased vertical lift and long-hose capability, while shortening project time and cutting maintenance cost in any pumping application.

ImperIal IndustrIes Introduces neW ptm980 Vacuum truck
SPOTLIGHT
By Ken Wysocky
in the
nlB 24,000 Psi mulTi-gun valve

The MGV24-1200 multi-gun valve from NLB Corp. allows two or more waterjet lances (or other accessories) to be operated from the same 24,000 psi pump unit. The valve can be used with any dump-style lance and can be rebuilt in the field in approximately five minutes. Weighing 33 pounds, the valve operates at flows of 12 gpm to 24 gpm per operator. 800/4415059; www.nlbcorp.com.
The redesigned PTM980 portable-restroom service truck from Imperial Industries Inc. provides operators with a lower-priced, high-productivity vehicle. We developed a truck package thats both economical and efficient, says Tom Aerts, general sales manager at Imperial. We picked out all the features that benefit our customers whether theyre start-ups graduating from a slide-in tank to their first vacuum truck or established companies already running multiple units. Imperial builds the unit on a Ford F-550 chassis with a 6.7-liter Ford diesel engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. The unit can also be built out on a Dodge Ram 5500 Series chassis. The Dodge is powered by a 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engine. The unit features a 980-gallon steel tank (680-gallon wastewater/300gallon fresh) with an epoxy coating inside the water tank; an HXL4V vacuum pump (160 cfm of vacuum power) from Masport Inc., with a right-angle drive; 2-inch water fills, at ground level and on top, with a 3-inch vent; a 1-inch water sight tube; two 2-inch waste-tank sight glasses; a 2-inch freshwater bucket fill; a 3-inch waste-discharge valve; a bolt-on aluminum hose tray; a 20-inch manway for tank-cleaning access; a tank-mounted moisture trap; an oil-catch muffler; vacuum and pressure relief valves with a liquid-fill gauge; a drivers side work light; two 18- by 18- by 36-inch aluminum toolboxes; and a two-restroom rear carrier. To reduce costs, some smaller units dont offer a manway or lower the size and capacity of the vacuum pump, Aerts says. But we kept the 20inch manway in the PTM980s design, and it comes with the same Masport HXL4V pump we install on our other units. The Ford F-550s gross vehicle weight is 19,500 pounds; it also features a 7,000-pound front axle and a 14,706-pound rear axle. By redesigning the restroom carrier and making it out of aluminum, we took some weight off the truck without sacrificing strength, he adds. And we took out some labor costs by replacing a welded-on steel hose tray with an aluminum bolton tray that requires no sandblasting, priming or painting. 800/558-2945; www.imperialind.com.

MICHIGAN
Association wages battle over disposal A Michigan Court of Appeals ruling against Gmosers Septic Service, Whitney Blakeslee and the Michigan Septic Tank Association set a precedent for septage disposal. The plaintiffs argued that local ordinances first banned land application, then mandated that septage pumped within the local unit of government be disposed of at the municipal facility, thus creating a monopoly free to charge an arbitrary price for the service. The Court of Appeals ruled local governments are within their rights with the requirements. A lack of preemption in MCL 324.11715(1) allows local governments to make stricter requirements than the law states, such as restricting haulers to dispose of septage originating within their boundaries at only their facility. Consequently, more townships and counties are taking steps to enact similar provisions. MSTA president Joe Hall, writing in the associations summer issue of Professional Pumper, reports the effect increased disposal rates have had on pumpers and their customers. Leoni Township wastewater treatment plant reported receiving 3.7 million gallons of septage (14 septic tanks per day) in 2007. The plant reported 2.3 million gallons (9 septic tanks per day) in 2011, after increasing the disposal fee to $210 for dumping 1,000-gallons of septage. In comparison, the current rate to dispose of 1,000 gallons of septage is $10 at the Munising plant, $15 at the Ludington plant and $25 at the Alpena plant. MSTA legislative consultant Judy Augenstein and State Rep. Ken Goike (R-Ray Township) are drafting legislation that would allow haulers to go to the facility of their choice. The bill also would remove the 2025 ban on septage storage facilities.
NOWRA
NOWRA Nuggets The field trip associated with the National Onsite Wastewater Recycling Associations annual conference Nov. 17-20 in Nashville will cover a large cluster facility in the planning stage, another in the construction stage and a third in the operational stage. The conference will also have a three-hour session to explore establishing an industry standard for advanced onsite system design. NOWRA is participating in a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency project to identify tools to help designers, engineers and community leaders decide whether large decentralized systems are better alternatives than municipal sewers. Making it easier for communities faced with that crucial decision to find useful information on decentralized systems has been one of our industrys biggest challenges, says Eric Casey, NOWRA executive director. The EPAs efforts will help put decentralized systems more on a par with centralized options. Casey believes many tools that ought to be part of EPAs toolbox are already available or in development. Examples include the decentralized wastewater cost estimation tool developed by John Buchanan, an effort spearheaded by the University of Minnesota to create a Community Septic System Owners Guide, and other projects from the Decentralized Wastewater Resources Collaborative. One benefit of the effort may be to identify gaps where additional tools and resources should be developed, says Casey. NOWRA also is active in the U.S. Water Alliance, established to advance the nation toward watershed-based approaches to water quality and quantity challenges. Alliance executive director Ben Grumbles invited NOWRA to participate, as he felt decentralized wastewater treatment was a big part of the answer. The alliance is an excellent platform from which to implement onewater management, and move away from managing stormwater, drinking water and wastewater as separate entities, says Casey.

NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA

Mandatory effluent filters As of May, Nova Scotia required effluent filters on all new residential septic tanks. The Waste Water Nova Scotia Society commissioned lawyer Ian MacLean to suggest ways onsite professionals could limit their liability. Besides recommending they do quality work and educate the homeowner, MacLean drafted a form for homeowners to sign, verifying that they understood they have an effluent filter and the importance of regular maintenance. A copy of the form is in the May 2013 newsletter at www.wwns.ca (scroll down). The form may be modified. The association also created three educational onsite videos and plans to add more to its online library. Currently available are Selecting and Constructing a Raised Drainfield, Construction of a Pressurized Drainfield, and Flushing an Onsite Sewage Disposal System.

ment is about diversifying our industry, creating jobs and changing peoples attitudes to accept large decentralized systems as viable alternatives to sewers. NOWRA wants those systems to become a stronger leg of the stool supporting the industry. To that end, NOWRA and the Water Environment Federation are cosponsoring a seminar on Oct. 6 in Chicago at WEFTEC 2013 that will make the case to engineers and utility managers that large decentralized systems can be profitably built and maintained at lower cost than conventional sewers. NOWRA is renewing its efforts to secure more money from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund for individual, commercial and communitybased onsite systems. Board member Bob Himschoot will chair the associations Government Affairs Committee and spearhead the effort to lobby Congress. If we can persuade Washington to change the rules, it will make a tremendous difference for our industry, says Casey. Our goal is always to improve conditions, support our members and sustain them in the future by providing more options.
