6 06'5 Clearly the hydraulic loading is the most limiting of the constituents contained in the waste stream. A land area of approximately .25 acres is necessary to handled the wastewater volume generated on an annual basis by a single three-bedroom home. The actual land area necessary to handle the wastewater generated at the homes proposed for the Wolfe site can be adjusted either upward or downward depending on the actual wastewater flow from the homes designed for this facility. A four-bedroom home will require slightly more land area than that discussed for a three bedroom home, while a two bedroom home will require slightly less land. The actual application of wastewater onto the soil surface can be accomplished""at'a rate not to'exceed .2 to .25 inches per hour. This will minimize potential for erosion and for soil loss and is consistent with the ability of the soil on the site to handle the water. Maintenance of these conservative hydraulic loadings is essential to insure the successful operation of this facility. Conclusion The single family homes sites investigated for the Wolfe family appeared to be acceptable for both subsurface and spray irrigation systems. The area available for subsurface treatment and disposal is small in area and can assimilate only a small portion of the wastewater generated potentially on this site. The recommendation of a slow rate spray irrigation system to handle a portion of the waste flow and a subsurface system to handled the remainder appears to be an acceptable or viable alternative.
