TEST RESULTS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPRIETARY TREATMENT PRODUCTS

TABLE II Treatment component/sequence category Testing results reported Category A: Designed to treat sewage with strength typical of a residential source when septic tank effluent is anticipated to be equal to or less than treatment level C (Table III, part 7083.4030) Report test results for influent and effluent sampling obtained throughout the testing period for evaluation of consistent reduction for the parameters CBOD 5 and TSS: - Average - Minimum - Median - 30-day average (each month) - Standard deviation - Maximum - Interquartile range. For bacteriological reduction performance, report fecal coliform test results of influent and effluent sampling by geometric mean from samples drawn within 30-day or monthly calendar periods, obtained from a minimum of three samples per week throughout the testing period. See part 7083.4060 . Test report must also include the individual results of all samples drawn throughout the test period.

Report the treatment capacity of the product tested in pounds per day for CBOD 5 .
