Is it possible that the tank sizes are sized for standard septic tank sizes rather than aerobic units? I.e. the permit for the assistant park ranger residence based on the drain field is sized for a 300GPD flow rate in sandy clay loam. If that’s the case the tank sizes would be incorrect. I just</li></ol><p>wanted to clarify that before working on submitting a bid.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Answer:&nbsp;</strong>The consultant has contacted Levy County and completed the</p><p>necessary steps to update the permits to reflect the designed system</p><p>sizing.
