This facility is administered by a trust for outdoor education
and camping. The proximity of the river together with large
peak loads placed restrictions on the siting and application
rates for the effluent disposal area. A large single chamber
septic tank with an Orenco (USA) high turbine pump services
a LPED disposal area via an automatic sequencing valve which
evenly doses each sector of the disposal area in turn.

By
Graeme Robinson (Reg. Engineer) Napier. Gravity fed septic
tank system to deep trenches in beach metal. I designed a
large 25000 litre septic tank fitted with 2 x OSI commercial
filters to replace the 2 x 8000 litre septic tanks originally
proposed.

Quiet
in the off season, up to 200 campers flock to this idyllic
camping ground on the banks of the Rangitikei River over the
holiday period. This influx severely taxes the 2 seater 2
shower ablution block so much so that a septic tank truck
has to call every day to take away the wastewater. I was appointed
project manager by the Rangitikei District Council to design
a suitable wastewater system. I designed an LPED system with
a 25,000 litre septic tank pumping filtered effluent to a
designated disposal area away from the busy camping ground
area. |

I
was contacted after the owners were unable to find an economical
design which disposed of the wastewater without using a large
portion of the camping ground. In my design the sewage was
centralised in large septic tanks and dosed to the disposal
area at a rate the ground could absorb and treat without surface
runoff or odour problems. The first holiday season saw the
design parameters exceeded by 50% at times without any wastewater
problems
