420-3-1-.67 Lot Modification and Controlled Fill Systems(1) In the event that, due to site conditions and/or characteristics of a given lot, a Conventional OSS cannot be used in accordance with the preceding requirements of these Rules, the LHD may consider approval of plans for the installation of a Controlled Fill OSS or certain Lot Modifications. Controlled Fill designs may be considered only on sites where the fill selection, placement, natural ground surface preparation and the entire Controlled Fill construction process will be performed under the direct supervision of, and certified by, a professional engineer.

(a) Site Evaluation - Prior to placing the fill, the site shall be evaluated in accordance with the Site Evaluation Criteria of the Onsite Rules.
(b) Design Calculations – The engineer must submit the design calculations for the designed systems size and specifications.

420-3-1-.71 Site Limitation Determination (SLD)
Site evaluations may be preformed using:
percolation test*soil morphology unified method*soil mapping
* Testing methods approved for Professional Engineers

Example: To design a basic controlled fill septic system for a 5 bedroom house on a building site that has a 60 MPI perc rate and a restriction of ASHES at a 24” depth
First determine the design flow:
Design Flow = Number of bedrooms X 150 gallons per bedroom(Table 1)
Design Flow = 5 X 150 = 750 gallons

that corresponds to the measured or assigned percolation rate

The linear amount of 36” wide gravel field line is determined by multiplying the number of bedrooms by the square feet per bedroom for the Soil Texture Group/Perc Rate from Table 3 and then dividing by 3.
Amount of field line = 5 X 300 ft2 = 1500 ft2
Linear feet(36” wide) = 1500/3 = 500 linear ft

Determine the Minimum Vertical Separation
For a 60 MPI perc rate the Minimum Vertical Separation (MVS) is currently 24”(Table 15).
Note: The MVS for a 31 to 60 rate is currently proposed to changed to 18”

Controlled Fill Systems or Mound designs for sites with any limiting zone which will require trench bottoms to be located at 0 to 6 inches above the natural ground surface shall, as a minimum, have 6 inches of fill material below the trench bottoms.
