Dear Helen,

Planning Application PP11/2018-1 10 Old Ocean Road, Separation Creek ‘Construction of Two Dwellings and Two (2) Lot Subdivision and the construction of 1.8m high timber paling fence and associated earthworks’

Spiire Australia Pty Ltd continue to act on behalf of Tony and Marg Batt in relation to current planning application PP11/2018-1.

Following extensive discussions with officers in Councils’ planning and health departments, please find attached an amended addendum to the LCA prepared for the abovementioned property by AGR Geosciences.

As an alternative solution to the previously proposed Wisconsin mound design, AGR has – on the advice of Councils’ Health Department, suggested a pressure compensated subsurface irrigation disposal design with separate irrigation fields be sufficient and suitable in servicing the two dwellings proposed to be constructed at 10 Old Ocean Road, Separation Creek.

In lieu of supplying an additional set of plans identifying minor variations (nominal shortening to the deck at the rear of each dwelling, a shift of approximately 0.5 metres north-west of the boundary line between the lots containing dwelling 1 and 2 and a reduction in the setback of dwelling 1 of 0.5 metres from Old Ocean Road), and to avoid further undue delays to the determination of the abovementioned application, we respectfully request a condition be attached to a future planning permit should Council determine amended plans be required.

We trust information above and within the attached revised addendum to the LCA will be to the satisfaction of Council and respectfully ask that the application be progressed to a determination as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely, Josh O’Connor Planning – Professional. CC - Tony and Marg Batt

ADDENDUM TO LAND CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT

FOR

10 OLD OCEAN ROAD, SEPARATION CREEK

Document No. 18305LCAv2

15/8/2019

Introduction

AGR Geosciences Pty Ltd (AGR) completed a Land Capability Assessment (LCA) report for 10 Old Ocean

Road, Separation Creek on behalf of Anthony Batt (the Client) dated 26/9/2018 and revised 9/10/2018.

The report proposed two Wisconsin mounds (effective basal areas of 75m2 and 96m2) with nitrogen

buffers and advanced secondary pre-treatment with nutrient reduction as a means of managing on-

site wastewater as part of the proposed two dwelling development.

This addendum presents an alternate wastewater design option in response to concerns raised by the

Health Protection Unit (HPU) of the Colac-Otway Shire regarding the mound proposal.

Additional Site Investigation

Additional site investigation was undertaken on 27/7/2019 involving additional boreholes and in-situ

hydraulic conductivity testing. Measurement of in-situ saturated hydraulic conductivity was carried

out using modified Talsma-Hallam permeameters applying the constant head method as described in

AS1547:2012. A nest of seven (7) permeameters was installed across the site inserted to a minimum

depth of 150mm into the target layer while maintaining a least 150mm clearance from the bottom of

the hole. Constant head draw down was monitored over a period of up to 90 minutes in order to

calculate saturated hydraulic conductivity for the target soil layer. Recorded test results have been

applied to equation G1 of AS1547:2012 to calculate Ksat for the target soil layer and are presented in

Appendix V.

Additional logs with full profile descriptions are presented in Appendix VI.

Alternate Wastewater Design Option

As an alternate to the proposed Wisconsin mound design, AGR recommends a pressure compensated

subsurface irrigation disposal design with separate irrigation fields to service the two proposed

dwellings.

In order to provide two independent irrigation areas for the respective dwellings within the available

usable area, the daily flow rate for each proposed dwelling has been reduced by a minimum of 50%

from 600L/day down to 300L/day (for House 1) and from 750L/day down to 375L/day (for House 2).

To achieve this AGR proposes the introduction of a greywater recycling system used to recycle

advanced secondary treated greywater in house to all toilets and the washing machine cold tap as is

allowable under the EPA Code of Practice (891.4, 2016).

The EPA Code of Practice (891.4, 2016) states that 30% of all household water use is associated with

toilet fixtures and that an additional 30% of all household water use is associated with laundry use.

Given the intension is to connect the greywater recycling system to all toilets for toilet flushing and

the washing machine cold tap only, a 50% allowable flow rate reduction is considered a reasonable

reduction figure.

A reassessment of the water balance for sub-surface irrigation for House 1 using 300L/day as a new

daily flow rate provides a minimum irrigation area for zero wet weather storage of 99m2 at an

application rate of 3.0mm/day for a Category 2 Sandy Loam with a design irrigation rate of

5.0mm/day and measured ksat of 0.17m/day. The proposed final application rate is less than the

maximum allowable application rate of 5.0mm/day for Sandy Loam soils.

A reassessment of the water balance for sub-surface irrigation for House 2 using 375L/day as a new

daily flow rate provides a minimum irrigation area for zero wet weather storage of 123m2 at an

application rate of 3.0mm/day for a Category 2 Sandy Loam with a design irrigation rate of

5.0mm/day and measured ksat of 0.17m/day. The proposed final application rate is less than the

maximum allowable application rate of 5.0mm/day for Sandy Loam soils.

A revised land application area plan in provided as Appendix I while water balance calculations are

provided as Appendix II.

The minimum area for irrigation based on hydraulic modelling has been crossed referenced with a

nutrient balance for nitrogen uptake and found to be greater than the minimum area required for total

nitrogen uptake without the need for nitrogen reduction. Phosphorous modelling based on the reduced

daily flow rates and using P Sorption rates published by the Sydney Catchment Authority (2012)

indicates the proposed irrigation systems will satisfactorily maintain the minimum wastewater design

life of 25 years for House 1 and House 2 respectively without the need for phosphorous reduction.

A revised nitrogen and phosphorous balance is provided in Appendix III and Appendix IV respectively.

Description of the Irrigation Option

Pressure compensated subsurface irrigation comprises a network of drip-irrigation lines that is specially

designed for use with wastewater without the requirement of a reserve field. The pipes contain

pressure compensating emitters (drippers) that employ a biocide to prevent build-up of slimes and

inhibit root penetration.

The lateral pipes are usually 1.0m apart for a SANDY LOAM, installed parallel along the contour.

Installation depth is 100mm into a minimum of 150mm of good quality topsoil in accordance with

AS/NZS 1547:2012. It is critical that the irrigation pump be sized properly to ensure adequate

pressure and delivery rate to the irrigation network.

A filter is installed in the main line to remove fine particulates that could block the emitters. This must be cleaned regularly (typically monthly) following manufacturer’s instructions. Vacuum breakers should be installed at the high point/s in the system to prevent air and soil being sucked back into the

drippers when the pump shuts off. Flushing valves are an important component and allow periodic

flushing of the lines, which should be done at six monthly intervals. Flush water should be returned to the treatment system via a return line.

All trenching used to install the pipes must be backfilled properly to prevent preferential subsurface flows along trench lines. Irrigation areas must not be subject to high foot traffic movement, and vehicles and livestock must not have access to the area otherwise compaction around emitters can

lead to premature system failure.

Installation of the Irrigation System

Installation of the irrigation system must be carried out by a suitably qualified, licensed plumber or

drainer experienced with effluent irrigation systems.

To ensure even distribution of effluent, it is essential that the pump capacity is adequate for the size

and configuration of the irrigation system, taking into account head and friction losses due to changes

in elevation, pipes, valves, fittings etc. To achieve even coverage, irrigation areas should be dosed

alternately using an automatic indexing or sequencing valve and line spacing’s should be progressively increased down slope.

The irrigation area and surrounding areas must be vegetated or revegetated immediately following

installation of the system, preferably with turf or dense ground covering shrubs and grasses with high

transpiration rates. The area should be fenced or otherwise isolated (such as by landscaping), to

prevent vehicle and stock access; and signs should be erected to inform householders and visitors of

the extent of the effluent irrigation area and to limit their access and impact on the area.

Stormwater run-on is expected to pose only a slight amount of concern for the proposed disposal

areas. Upslope diversion berms and surface drainage should be constructed during installation of the

disposal system and connected to the site drainage system and diverted to the legal point of discharge.

Stormwater from roofs and other impervious surfaces must not be disposed of into the wastewater

treatment system or onto the effluent management system.

Treatment System

For this site we recommend a minimum of secondary level treatment with advanced secondary level

treatment of greywater for in-house recycling.

The minimum “all waste” secondary effluent quality required for irrigation is:

▪ BOD < 20 mg/L

▪ TSS < 30 mg/L

▪ E.Coli < 10 cfu/100mg

The minimum advanced secondary (tertiary) effluent quality required for greywater recycling is:

▪ BOD < 10 mg/L

▪ TSS < 10 mg/L

▪ E.Coli < 10 cfu/100mg

Refer to the EPA website for the list of approved options that are available1. Many of the secondary or

advanced secondary treatment system options are capable of achieving the desired level of

performance. The property owner has the responsibility for the final selection of the secondary

treatment system and will include the details of it in the Septic Tank Permit to Install application form

for Council approval.

Alternative treatment methods which are able to produce high quality wastewater are Membrane

Bioreactor or MBR systems and Trickling Filters. MBR’s combine treatment technologies such as aerated water treatment systems (AWTS) and membrane filtration. They typically use a pre-treatment

settling tank, followed by aerobic bioreactor (AWTS) and finally a filter membrane followed by

disinfection with UV for higher quality waste water. Trickling Filters such as generic sand filters use

aerobic biological processes and mechanical filtration to treat effluent. They incorporate a settling or

septic tank (which may be generic or alternative such as a worm farm) for primary treatment after

which effluent is applied to the filter and then may be disinfected with either by chlorine or UV. Other

methods of secondary treatment system such as Aerated Wastewater Treatment System’s (AWTS) are also acceptable utilising disinfection to achieve advanced secondary standard.

Further consideration should be given to selecting a system that includes a suitably sized storage or

balancing tank to moderate flow into the wastewater treatment system or a system that integrally

uses multiple chambers where intermittent or periodic surge flows are expected. Where an AWTS is

to be considered in this situation, selection of a system which includes recirculation or some other

technology to accommodate intermittent flow is recommended.

Conclusions

As a result of the further investigation we conclude that sustainable onsite wastewater management

is feasible for the proposed development at 10 Old Ocean Road Separation Creek.

Specifically, to achieve the desired wastewater footprint we recommend the following:

▪ Secondary treatment of ‘All Waste’ by aerated treatment plant with disinfection and separate advanced secondary treatment of greywater for in-house recycling to toilets and the washing

machine cold tap.

▪ Reduced daily flow rate for House 1 from 600L/day for a 3-bedroom dwelling to 300L/day

(50% reduction).

▪ Reduced daily flow rate for House 2 from 750L/day for a 4-bedroom dwelling to 375L/day

(50% reduction).

• Disposal via pressure compensated subsurface irrigation to 99m2 for House 1 at an application

rate of 3.0mm/day.

• Disposal via pressure compensated subsurface irrigation to 123m2 for House 2 at an

application rate of 3.0mm/day.

▪ Detailed documentation of the as built irrigation design, including the filter, manifold, irrigation

line location and diameter, number and length of dripper lines, number and location of vacuum

breaker(s), sequencing valve(s), location of flush valve(s) and the location of the return line

returning flush water back to the treatment system.

▪ Installation of 3 star or better water saving fixtures and appliances both dwellings to conserve

water and reduce the effluent load;

▪ Operation and management of the treatment and disposal system in accordance with

manufacturer’s recommendations, the EPA Certificate of Approval, the EPA Code of Practice

(2016) and the recommendations made in this report.
