If during soil testing it is determined that the water table is high (less than 5’ below the surface) the engineer would be required to design a mounded system under conventional means. What this means is that the “zone of treatment”, the layers of gravel and sand where all the effluent will be filtered cannot be sitting in the water table. The conventional septic system’s entire zone of treatment is approx. 7’ deep and MUST sit above the water table.

If the water table is likely to rise a foot or more above the base level of a buried tank, the tank must be anchored down against possible floating up when the tank is drained. (See suggested anchoring details) Dirt cover and water in the tank will of course help keep the tank in place. See similar questions...

All absorption trench systems must meet a minimum vertical separation distance to the seasonally high water table of 900 mm from the bottom of the trench. In areas where the water table does not permit the installation of conventional inground absorption trenches, a raised system can be installed. This can be a raised conventional system, or a raised filter bed system. See similar questions...

Current lake levels can be obtained from NOAA's web site. Using the most recent measurements for a calm day, you can estimate the Low Water Mark location by subtracting 569 ft (Ohio Low Water Mark) from the current reading. For example, as of this writing, the Lake Level is 571 ft at Marblehead, OH. The Low Water Mark would then be a spot approximately 2 ft below the surface of the water. A similar process can be used for the High Water Mark (573.4 ft). See similar questions...

You know, I kept on asking the very same thing. There is a trick to it. First of all, you need to have more stamps than the lowest person on the table. More stamps, not the same amount. Then go to overview on your stamp page to see your total number of stamps. Then go to high scores from the overview page and your score will be updated. Do this every time you put a stamp in your album. Thanks go to wendy37henderson for being patient with me and answering my questions about this. See similar questions...

High deductibles lower your insurance premiums. In effect, you are assuming some of the risk of loss yourself. If you can afford to handle the loss represented by the deductible, and if the probability of occurrence is low, a high deductible is probably a good choice. Automobile collision insurance is a good example. A $50 deductible policy will cost more than one with $100 or $500 deductible. See similar questions...

It's not advisable to price your property far above the going rate for similar properties. Few buyers will invest in property without doing their homework, and they will not consider properties that are overpriced. If you ask much more than the going rate, you may be viewed as unrealistic and difficult to work with. If your property is priced high, it will most likely stay on the market for a long time, which can make buyers wonder what's wrong with it. See similar questions...
