What does an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) agreement entail? (From www.septic-info.
1. Preventative maintenance: A member of the Clearwater team will service the system quarterly to ensure that the system is functioning properly. If it is not, steps will be taken to correct or improve performance. 2. Sampling: sampling for a new system is done quarterly. Sampling checks the levels of BOD, TSS, Nitrate Nitrogen, and Ammonia Nitrogen. The sampling frequency may be reduced to annually, once the system has proven to be functioning well and within permit for at least 1 year. The local Board of Health determines the reduction in sampling frequency. 3. Reporting: reporting is done quarterly. Clearwater Recovery delivers all of the necessary paperwork to the Department of Environmental Protection and the Local Boards of Health. A copy of the report is also sent to the home owner.
