1.0 Introduction:
Biowater Designs Pty Ltd, in accordance with AS/NZS1547-2012 ( Domestic Wastewater Management ) and the
Queensland Plumbing & Wastewater code (QPW) 2019 Version 1, was commissioned to undertake a Site & Soil
Evaluation in the Noosa Council at 5 Figbird Ct, Lake McDonald.
The results form the basis of our recommendations for on site wastewater disposal.
Our Site investigation and field work was performed on Wednesday 25th September 2019 after a period of dry weather.
The investigation was undertaken to determine the soil profile and Long Term Acceptance Rate (LTAR) of the site in
order to accommodate a proposed new 5 bedroom dwelling and shed with possible amenities.
NOTE: This evaluation was undertaken at the owner’s request after considerable discussion regarding environmental
issues of this site and preferred design of the Land Application Area.
.
2.0 Site Description:
2.1 Existing Buildings: None
2.2 Site Factors:
The site is an acreage allotment the area is 2.244ha.
The site borders Lake McDonald at the rear. The proposed Land Application Area is at the front of the site and slopes
away from the lake.
The proposed Land Application Area is moderately sloping (5%) to the South-West.
The proposed Land Application Area has fair exposure to sun and wind due to large trees in the owners preferred
location. Area oversized to compensate for fair exposure. Very good nutrient uptake.
Erosion, mass movement or land slip was not observed on this site. Rock outcrops are not evident on this site.
There are no creeks, or bores on this site or adjoining properties within the required setbacks of the proposed Land
Application Area for Advanced Secondary class effluent.
There is a dam and grassed depression towards the rear of the property. Setback requirements under QPW Code for
Advanced Secondary Effluent can be easily obtained.
Ground water was not encountered on this site during our investigation to a depth of 900mm.
There is no fill in the proposed Land Application Area.
Flooding will not occur on this site.
Rain water will transverse this site from adjoining properties during heavy rains.
Concentrated run-off from this property will transverse adjoining properties during heavy rains.
Soils were dry and there is no evidence of soil surface cracking. No evidence of compaction or seepage areas. Salinity
is not evident.
3.0 Soil Investigation:
3.1 Drainage Pattern: Linear Planar
3.2 Method:
Soil Testing for the site was with a hand auger on 25/09/2019 to a depth of 900mm in the proposed Land Application Area.
The existing soils were visual one textually classified in accordance with AS/NZS 1547:2012 Table E1. The soils
were predominately grey/brown in colour. Weakly structured Loamy Sand - Category 2.
Slight coherence; forms a fragile cast that just bears handling; gives a very short
5mm ribbon that breaks easily; discolours the fingers.
Site Classification was conducted by DEQ (Design Engineers Queensland) and give a Slab Type “M” and classification “P”,
due to trees of potential influence. Articulated joints may be required and must be designed by a qualified person.

4.0 Recommendations:
4.1 Treatment Facility:
The on-site treatment facility is to be a Wastewater Treatment System consistently producing Advanced Secondary
Quality Effluent with a capacity of no less than 10 Equivalent Persons (10EP).
The owner has indicated their preferred system is the Earth Safe D10 Advanced Secondary (Concrete) system - TPA #
03/2019. A tall tank and possible riser ring may be required. The chosen systems approvals meet the Effluent Quality
and Equivalent Person recommendations for this site. Failure to comply may require the system to be removed from
site.
All wastewater from the new dwelling and any future amenities in the shed are to be directed to the Wastewater
Treatment Plant.
Position of the proposed Land Application Area is shown on the Site Plan. All works must comply with the Qld
Plumbing and Wastewater Code and be performed by a licenced plumber.
5.0 Design Calculation
The serviceable life of the Land Application Area will be compromised if the design flow is exceeded. Any
proposed changes to the position of the Land Application Area, System Type or House Design will require a
reassessment of this site. For our calculations we have assessed the design flow as follows:
Design Calculation
DIR (mm/d) (secondary quality effluent) 4
Hydraulic load (lt/day/person) Tank Water / 5 bedrooms 120
Design Flow Q (lt/day) PE: 8 960
Design sizing calculation Ai = (Q)/DIR
= (960)/4

Nominated Configuration (metres) 24m x 10.2m

5.1 Land Application Area Design:
The minimum Land Application Area required is 240m2. 244.8m2 is allocated. 100% reserve area available on this site.
The Land Application Area is situated in a heavily vegetated area at the front of the site.
The preferred method of dispersal is Surface Irrigation via FIXED sprinklers (Wobblers). See typical drawing for detail
page 5.
An area 24m x 10.2m to be set out as shown on the drawing and three (3) rows of seven - (21) fixed sprinklers be
installed. Laterals to be laid on top of the ground and pinned into position. Wobblers to be installed on 400mm risers
and an inline valve installed on each riser to control plumage. Risers must be kept vertically plumb and supported by a
galvanised rod. See drawing for detail.
A three (3) stage indexing valve (K-Rain) to be installed to service each bank of sprinklers alternatively.
Installer is to ensure that a suitable sized irrigation pump is installed in the system to ensure correct operation of the
irrigation area. Min 25m head.
Laterals to be 25mm PN12.5 to provide sufficient flow to operate each bank sprinklers.
In accordance with the Noosa Council stipulated guidelines, the treated effluent must not at any time extend beyond the
approved designated area.
A 120 micron filter is to be installed in the delivery line at the tank. A non-return valve to be installed in the delivery line
after the filter to prevent back flow when servicing the filter. This filter is to be cleaned at every service interval.
The Land Application Area is to be maintained to ensure survival of plants and adequate mulch cover is sustained.
Delivery line (32mm PN12.5) is to be buried a minimum of 200mm and pipework to comply with AS/NZS 1547/2012
and QPW Code.
Two warning signs are to be installed at the land application area.
