The owner or contractor shall, within thirty (30) days of the mailing of written notice thereof, pay to the Oakland County Department of Public Works the entire amount of such cost. Failure to comply with these rules and regulations and the standards of the Oakland County Department of Public Works may result in the immediate termination of the surety and cash bonds.
(C)??’Bulkhead: The contractor shall install a suitable bulkhead to prevent construction water, sand, silt, etc., from entering the existing sewer system. Such bulkhead shall be left in place until such time as removal is authorized by the Oakland County Department of Public Works.
(D)??’Acceptance Test: All sanitary sewer systems shall be subjected to infiltration, air or exfiltration tests or a combination thereof in accordance with the following requirements prior to acceptance of the system by the Oakland County Department of Public Works and prior to removal of the bulkhead as required in paragraph (C) above.
All final acceptance tests shall be witnessed by the Oakland County Department of Public Works.
(1)??’Infiltration test:
(a)??’All sewers over 24-inch diameter shall be subjected to infiltration tests. All sewers of 24-inch diameter or smaller, where the groundwater level above the top of the sewer is over seven (7) feet, shall be subjected to an infiltration test.
(b) ??’Maximum allowable infiltration shall not exceed two hundred fifty (250) gallons per inch of diameter per mile of pipe per twenty-four (24) hours for the overall project. Maximum allowable infiltration shall not exceed five hundred (500) gallons per inch of diameter per mile of pipe per twenty-four (24) hours for any individual run between manholes.
(2)??’Air test or exfiltration test:
(a)??’All sewers of 24-inch diameter or less, where the groundwater level above the top of the sewer is seven (7) feet or less, shall be subjected to air tests or exfiltration tests.
(b)??’For exfiltration tests, the internal water level shall be equal to the external water level plus seven (7) feet as measured from the top of pipe. The allowable exfiltration rate shall be the same as that permitted from infiltration.
(c)??’The procedure for air testing of sewers shall be as follows: The sewer line shall be tested in increments between manholes. The line shall be cleaned and plugged at each manhole. Such plugs shall be designed to hold against the test pressure and shall provide an airtight seal. One of the plugs shall have an orifice through which air can be introduced into the sewer. An air supply line shall be connected to the orifice. The air supply line shall be fitted with suitable control valves and a pressure gauge for continually measuring the air pressure in the sewer. The pressure gauge shall have a minimum diameter of three and one-half (3 1/2) inches and a range of zero (0) to ten (10) pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG). The gauge shall have minimum divisions of 0.10 PSIG and an accuracy of ?0.04 PSIG.
(d)??’The sewer shall be pressurized to four (4) PSIG greater than the greatest back pressure caused by groundwater over the top of the sewer pipe. At least two (2) minutes shall be allowed for the air pressure to stabilize between three and one-half (3 1/2) and four (4) PSIG. If necessary, air shall be added to the sewer to maintain a pressure of three and one-half (3 1/2) PSIG or greater.
(e)??’After the stabilization period, the air supply control valve shall be closed so that no more air will enter the sewer. The sewer air pressure shall be noted and timing for the test begun. The test shall not begin if the air pressure is less than three and one-half (3 1/2) PSIG, or such other pressure as is necessary to compensate for ground water level.
(f)??’The time required for the air pressure to decrease one (1) PSIG during the test shall not be less than the time shown in the ‘Oakland County Department of Public Works Air Test Tables.?
(g)??’Manholes on sewers to be subjected to air tests shall be equipped with one-half-inch diameter galvanized capped pipe nipple extending through the manhole three (3) inches into the manhole wall and at an elevation equal to the top of the sewer pipe. Prior to the air test, the groundwater elevation shall be determined by blowing air through the pipe nipple to clear it and then connecting a clear plastic tube to the pipe nipple. The tube shall be suspended vertically in the manhole and the groundwater elevation determined by observing the water level in the tube. The air test pressure shall be adjusted to compensate for the maximum groundwater level above the top of the sewer pipe to be tested. After all tests are performed and the sewer is ready for final acceptance, the pipe nipple shall be plugged in an acceptable manner.
(h)??’If a sewer fails to pass any of the previously described tests, the contractor shall determine the location of the leaks, repair them and retest the sewer. The tests shall be repeated until satisfactory results are obtained.
(i)??’All visible leaks and cracks shall be repaired regardless of tests results.
(E)??’Stormwater and Groundwater Control:
(1)??’Yard drains, patio drains, catchbasins, downspouts, weep tile, perimeter and footing drains or any other structure used for the collection and conveyance of stormwater and/or groundwater shall not be permitted to discharge into any sanitary sewer connected directly or indirectly to the county system, except as provided under subsection (e)(2) below.
(2)??’Perimeter and footing drains from buildings existing before December 16, 1968, shall not be required to disconnect from the sanitary sewer system; provided, that federal, state or local law or regulation does not require, or may not require subsequent to the adoption of these standards and regulations, the disconnection of such perimeter and footing drains.
(3)??’The crock to iron joint shall be sealed by approved flexible adaptor fittings such as those manufactured by Fernco Joint Sealer Company, or as approved by the Oakland County Department of Public Works. The iron pipe inside the building shall be plugged and leaded and remain plugged and watertight until such time as the plumbing is carried on to the first floor, the basement backfilled and the roof is on the building, thereby providing that no water from the excavated basement will enter the sanitary sewer.
(F)??’Building Sewers: House connection sewer from the lateral sewer in the street or easement to within five (5) feet from the house shall be:
(1)??’Six-inch diameter extra strength vitrified sewer pipe, manufactured in accordance with current NCPI Designation ER 4-67 Standards, or equal, with DPW-approved premium joint;
(2)??’Six-inch diameter Class 2400 Asbestos Cement Pipe with Ring-Tite, Fluid-Tite or DPW-approved joint;
(3)??’Six-inch diameter, service strength, cast-iron soil pipe with hot poured lead joint, or DPW-approved equal;
(4)??’Six-inch diameter extra strength solid wall pipe extruded from Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styren (ABS) plastic meeting the minimum cell classification 2-2-3 as defined in ASTM Specification D1788-68.
(5)??’Other pipe and joints as may be approved by the Oakland County Department of Public Works.
Copies of the Oakland County Department of Public Works-approved joint shall be on file at the offices of each community in the systems.
House connection sewers shall be six-inch minimum diameter, except that four-inch pipe of comparable strength and joint material may be used if permitted by the local unit of government. All joints shall be tight and when tested for infiltration or exfiltration shall not exceed the requirements of paragraph (D) of this section.
(G)??’Septic Tank Abandonment and Waste Disposal:
