    The document provides details on the design parameters, sizing, and configuration of a septic tank system for a facility with 11 occupants. Key specifications include a 2 day hydraulic residence time, volumes for sedimentation (1.09m3), sludge digestion (0.45m3), and scum storage (0.48m3) zones. The tank is compartmentalized into two chambers, with two thirds of the volume in the first chamber (2.733m3) and one third in the second (1.367m3). Proper operation and maintenance includes desludging every 4 years.

    Miscellaneous Details
    S Provide one manhole per chamber with minimum dimension of 500mm.
    S Inlet and outlet connection shall be sanitary tee with size same as building sewer.
    S Ensure watertightness by application of approved waterproofing materials.
    S Bottom slab shall rest on 50mm 95% compacted gravel bed and on undisturbed soil.
    S For structural details refer to structural engineering plans.

    Special Note
