What is Iowa Farm A Syst?Iowa Farm*A*Syst is a farmstead assessment system developed to assist rural residents in protecting their water resources, particularly their drinking water. Individuals can tailor the Iowa Farm*A*Syst program to meet their needs by choosing specific topics that fit their farmstead or acreage. The Iowa Farm*A*Syst pro-gram is based on a series of 11 units. Each unit provides information on the subject area and an assessment worksheet to evaluate on-farm practices affecting water quality. Also included in the units are references to Iowa environmental laws and technical assistance contact information.

How will I know which unit will help me?You will be able to identify the most useful Iowa Farm*A*Syst units by asking yourself the following questions.

Do you…Get your drinking water from a private well?

Have any unused or abandoned wells on the farm?Have a private system to dispose of bathroom

and kitchen wastewater?Have feedlots or barnyards?

Raise livestock in confinement?Dispose of dead animals on your farm?

Use or store pesticides?Use or store fertilizer?

Use or store petroleum products?Use or store hazardous materials such as

chemicals, batteries, or petroleum products?Have a manure storage unit?

How do I start assessing my farmstead?The 11 Iowa Farm*A*Syst units are each designed to be stand-alone units. However, the first step to assessing your farmstead should be to draw a map of the area and label any potential sources of contamination. Every farmstead is unique. You need to evaluate your farmstead’s site characteristics to de-termine the potential for groundwater and surface water contamination. This unit can help you get started. After you have mapped your farmstead, consider what management decisions may be affecting the quality of your water resources. This process will help you to prioritize which of the other Iowa Farm*A*Syst assessments you may want to complete.

Household Wastewater Management When pioneers headed west across Iowa, group after group camped in the same spots along wagon trails. The old western movies never showed you, but in reality cholera was the number one killer of pioneers. Cholera ran rampant because of exposure to contaminated human waste at the communal campsites. Chol-era rarely occurs in Iowa today, but bacteria from untreated or poorly treated sewage can still cause diseases such as hepatitis A, polio, salmonella, giardiosis and cryptosporidiosis. Parasites, such as pinworms, tape-worms and hookworms, also can be transmitted by untreated or improperly treated wastewater.Human waste is a major component of wastewater, so rural homeowners need to make sure untreated wastewater is not flowing into road ditches or discharging into field tile. Not only is untreated wastewater illegal and a health hazard to your family, but it may also be polluting your favorite place to fish or swim.

“What is wastewater treatment?” Wastewater Treatment When most people think of treating wastewater in a rural home, they think of a septic tank. Although a sep-tic tank is essential, it is not the only necessary component to a properly functioning wastewater system. The principal components of a wastewater system are:

• Primary treatment. Most rural homes in Iowa use a septic tank for primary treatment. A septic tank’sjob is to retain or absorb heavier solids (sludge) and floating material (scum) in wastewater. Althougha septic tank initiates the treatment of wastewater, it does not remove most organic material, harmfulbacteria or other organisms. There is no oxygen available in a septic tank for significant bacterial activity.A second septic tank only increases total primary treatment capacity and does not provide secondarytreatment.

• Secondary treatment. The most common secondary treatment in Iowa is a soil absorption system orleach field. Secondary treatment removes the organic matter, harmful bacteria and other organisms fromthe solution discharged from the septic tank (effluent). If the soil is too tight for absorption, an alternatesystem, such as a sand filter or mechanical/aerobic unit, may be used for secondary treatment. All sec-ondary treatment systems are aerobic, using oxygen to help bacterial breakdown the waste, whether inthe soil or other media.

“Do I have a complete wastewater system?” Wastewater System Assessment Homeowners can begin to assess how well their wastewater system is working by asking themselves three questions:Where does my wastewater system discharge?Do I have a system that provides both primary and secondary treatment? Are there any signs of the wastewater coming to the surface of the soil (surfacing)?

Ask Yourself These Questions Does your wastewater system …Drain directly to a tile line, ditch or pasture?Lie within 100 feet from a pond, lake or water well?Show signs of water surfacing such as wet spots, abnormally green grass or soft spots?

If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, you may be at high risk for contaminating ground and surface water, jeopardizing the health of your family or violating Iowa law. Read on to learn how you can minimize these risks.

If your wastewater system consists of a septic tank that drains into a tile line, ditch or pasture, your system lacks adequate secondary treatment. State law requires secondary treatment. Without it, you are releasing harmful bacteria and organisms that quickly find their way to surface water that people or animals may contact.

Most wastewater systems dispose of untreated wastewater below ground, which allows bacteria in the upper soil layers to clean the wastewater. Some unique systems, such as constructed wetlands or sandfilters, are used to properly treat wastewater prior to surface discharge.

To safeguard your drinking water, Iowa law requires your wastewater treatment system to be a safe separation distance from the source of your drinking water. Septic tanks must be water tight and located 50 feet away from a water well. Lat-eral fields and other types of secondary treatment should be at least 100 feet from wells.

Primary Treatment Septic tank. A septic tank allows the heavy solids to settle out of the wastewater and the scum to float to the top. A septic tank must be divided into two chambers by a center wall. A baffle allows the sewage to be drawn out below the scum and above the solids and flow to secondary treatment. Baffles and tank dividers help ensure that scum and settleable solids are retained in the tank.

Some solids do break down in the septic tank, though it happens too slowly to keep up with the daily accumulation of solids, and some solids never break down. If a tank becomes too full of solids, the solids can flow into and plug the secondary treatment system, causing failure. To extend the life of the septic sys-tem, pump out the tank on a regular basis, every 2 to 3 years.

Septic Tank Capacity Since 2009 the optimum size of your septic tank is based on the number of bedrooms in your home. This table helps you figure the minimum storage size of your septic tank, based upon the size of your home and estimated water usage.

Secondary Treatment Methods Lateral or leach fields. In Iowa, soil absorption fields are the most common form of secondary treatment. Absorption fields use permeable soil to naturally clean the wastewater. The absorption field consists of level, parallel trenches, 1 to 3 feet deep. The series of trenches distributes the effluent evenly throughout the

Iowa law requires that every wastewater system include primary and secondary treat-ment. Discharge of untreated sewage, or effluent, into a road ditch or tile outlet is illegal!

Iowa law requires access ports or manholes that come to the ground surface over each end of the septic tank to allow for inspection, opera-tion and maintenance.

absorption field. In Iowa, there are four types of acceptable soil absorption systems including gravel-filled trenches, large diameter pipe in gravelless trenches, expanded polystyrene aggregate chambers and plas-tic chambers. All four systems work in the same manner. The effluent from the septic tank flows through a closed distribution box and enters the perforated pipe or chamber. The effluent leaks out slowly from the pipe or chamber into the soil. The soil filters out tiny solids and pathogens (disease-causing microorganisms) before it reaches the groundwater. By the time wastewater reaches groundwater, it is sanitary, or clean. A properly functioning lateral field will not freeze. Absorption fields may not work in some locations because of high groundwater, shallow bedrock, poor soils or other conditions.

“The county sanitarian told me that a typical septic system won’t work because of my soils. What are my op-tions?”

Alternative Secondary Treatment Methods

• Sand filters are large in-ground pits filled with two feet of sand between upper and lower rock layers. Thesand layer filters and treats the wastewater before it is collected in the bottom rock layer for discharge.Sand filter effluent must be sampled annually to ensure that it is functioning and waste is properlytreated.

• Other packaged media filters such as peat or textile filters function the same way sand filters do, but usea different material for the media. These types of systems also require maintenance contracts with annu-al service visits. They occupy a small area and can be ideal for small lots or difficult sites. Sand filters areusually preferred over these packaged media filters because of the lower maintenance, lower operatingcost and greater stability.

• Mechanical aerobic systems may need to be installed if your soils are unsuited for a soil absorption field,or if the site is too small for a properly sized system. In a mechanical aerobic system, air is pumped intothe septic tank, which speeds up the decay of solids. The effluent from the mechanical aerobic systemmust then be directed to another small secondary treatment system. These alternative systems are moreexpensive to operate and require regular maintenance. Iowa law states these systems should only beinstalled when your county sanitarian determines the site is unacceptable for a full-sized soil absorptionsystem. Sand filters are usually preferred over mechanical aerobic systems because of the lower mainte-nance, lower operating cost and greater stability.

• Homeowners with mechanical aerobic systems are required by law to:

1. Retain a maintenance contract with a manufacturer-certified technicianat all times.

2. Inspect the unit for proper functioning every 6 months. Effluent must besampled by a trained professional at each inspection if the effluent willreach any water of the state.

• Mound systems are an alternative aboveground sand filter system. They canbe used to treat effluent from septic tanks where lateral fields are impractical.Because the aboveground filter bed is covered with soil, it looks like a smallhill.

• Constructed wetlands mimic the treatment that occurs in a natural wetland.They work to remove pollutants from wastewater by relying on plants, such as

Systems that discharge effluent to land surface are required to have a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit on file with Iowa DNR if the effluent will reach a water of the state. A water of the state is any stream, lake, pond, watercourse, waterway, well, aquifer or any other body or accumu-lation of water, natural or artificial, public or private.

cattails, and a combination of naturally occurring biological, chemical and physical processes taking place in a constructed vegetation and rock bed.

Holding tanks are just temporary storage tanks for untreated wastewater. Holding tanks must be pumped when they are full. The wastewater is hauled to a municipal sewage treatment plant. They are rare in Iowa and only used for a few short-term situations.

“I don’t have a treatment system that has been listed. What kind of a treatment system do I have?” Illegal Sewage Disposal Many homes in Iowa are still using sewage disposal methods that were once common, but are now illegal. These methods do not provide effective treatment and often discharge untreated sewage to the soil surface. Wastewater that is discharged into a road ditch, tile line or waterway is illegal!• Cesspools consist of a hole, or above-ground swamp, receiving sewage directly from a building’s sani-

tary drainage system. Cesspools are illegal in Iowa because they do not provide proper wastewater treat-ment.

• Seepage pits are underground structures constructed to dispose of household wastewater by soil ab-sorption through its bottom and walls. Seepage pits are also illegal in Iowa because they do not effec-tively treat wastewater and tend to plug up.

“Replacing a wastewater system is expensive. What can I do to prolong the life of my current system?” Wastewater System Maintenance Regular maintenance of your wastewater system is a sound financial investment. If a system fails, it is prob-ably too late for maintenance, meaning replacement is inevitable. A little maintenance now is less than one-tenth the cost of replacing a wastewater system. If your system does require replacement, the Iowa DNR offers a low interest loan program through local lenders for new septic systems.

System Maintenance Tips: Have your septic tank pumped every 2 to 3 years by a licensed commercial septic tank pumper. Pumping your septic tank removes the built up solids and helps prevent clogs. If you have a garbage disposal, pump out the septic tank more frequently, as solids tend to build up faster in the tank. The Iowa DNR licenses commercial pumpers of septic tanks.

Don’t assume your system will function properly without maintenance. A frequently heard misconception is “Our septic system works great. We’ve never pumped the tank or done anything to it, and we’ve never had any problems.” This usually means there is no secondary treatment and untreated sewage is illegally discharging into a field tile, road ditch or creek.

Look for signs of system failure. The most obvious sign of failure is wastewater backing up into a home. Other warning signs are occasional wet spots or soft spots over a lateral field. A system has failed if there is standing water, black water or a crust over the soil covering the absorption field.

Limit traffic on the leach field or soil absorption site, as it can crush the pipes or compact the soil. Plants with large or invasive root systems or trees should not be planted above the leach field.

Regular maintenance of your wastewater system is a sound financial investment. Have your septic tank pumped every 2 to 3 years by a licensed septic tank pumper.

Don’t use additives. Additives may reduce the need for tank pumping, but that means solids are not settling in the tank and are moving into your secondary treatment. If solids are flowing out of your septic tank, they will eventually clog and possibly destroy your lateral field or other secondary treatment system. Avoid adding yeast or bacteria to your septic tank. Yeast or bacteria is unnecessary because the amount added is insignificant compared with the bacteria in the tank. Human sewage typically contains one trillion organisms per gallon. Additives are a waste of money and merely add more organic matter for your system to process and safely eliminate.

Do not dispose of toxic material in a wastewater system. Materials such as motor oil, paint thinner and pesti-cides can harm the bacteria in a sewage treatment system as well as pollute groundwater.

Do not discard large quantities of grease into your wastewater system. Grease, coffee grounds, disposable diapers and cat litter decompose slowly, so they fill the septic tank quickly or plug the absorption field.

Never flush medications down a drain or toilet. Medicine can damage the bacteria growth in a septic system and can cause groundwater contamination. Ask your pharmacist if they participate in Iowa’s TakeAway pro-gram that allows you to return used or unwanted medicines to the pharmacy. Or contact your local county sanitarian to learn about other safe disposal methods.

Normal use of bleach, detergents, disinfectants and water softener salt will not significantly harm the bacte-ria in a wastewater system.

Make sure only household wastewater enters your sewer system. Downspouts and house-footing drains should not drain into your wastewater system. If you have a water-softening system, keep regeneration fre-quency to a minimum or make sure regeneration water does not enter your wastewater system.

If your system is overloaded, conserving water or the installation of a larger soil absorption field may be nec-essary. You can reduce stress on your wastewater system by reducing the amount of water you use. Consider installing water-saving fixtures such as water conserving showerheads and low flow toilets. Plumbing leaks need to be immediately fixed. A leaky faucet can waste up to 300 gallons of water per month, and a leaky toilet can waste up to 1000 gallons of water per day!

“I am purchasing a property in the country. Should I be concerned about the septic system?”

Time of transferIf you need to replace a failing septic system, it can mean a substantial investment. If the system is failing or improperly treating wastewater, you need to know. Ask about the condition of the primary and secondary treatment systems and where they are located. Ask the seller what they know about the system. • When was the system installed?• Who installed the system?• Where is the tank access port located?• When was the tank last pumped?• Where is the secondary treatment area?

Iowa law requires the homeowner to obtain a permit before a wastewater system is repaired or installed. Before the permit is issued, the county sanitarian must perform a site evaluation.

Regular maintenance of your wastewater system is a sound financial investment. Have your septic tank pumped every 2 to 3 years by a licensed septic tank pumper.

8

Iowa law now protects buyers by requiring that private wastewater systems undergo a time of transfer in-spection by an Iowa DNR certified inspector. If the wastewater system shows signs of failure or is functioning improperly, the sewage system must be updated to meet current construction standards.

When it is necessary to abandon a failing septic tank, close the tank properly to protect the environment and prevent a safety risk. Pump the tank, crush the lid, and fill the tank with sand or soil.

“I need to install a new wastewater system. Where do I start?”

Contact Your County Sanitarian The best resource for helping with problems or questions about a rural home’s wastewater system is your county environmental health office. Please refer to the list of county sanitarians, also called County Environ-mental Health Officials, at the end of this publication or contact your county courthouse to find out who to call.

Installing a New System A new wastewater system can be expensive and if not installed properly, will be even more costly. First, you need to ask your county sanitarian to perform a site evaluation. With the site evaluation, the county sanitar-ian can help you decide what type and size of wastewater treat¬ment system to install and where to install it. Once a site evaluation is finished and before you begin construction, you need to apply for a construction permit with the local board of health.

According to Iowa law, a homeowner must have a permit to construct, and in some counties to operate, a wastewater treatment system.
