NewSepticDischarging Systems Design Process
Septic systems which treat the wastewater and discharge the treated water to any waterway (pond, stream, etc.) can largely be termed discharging systems. In the United States, discharging systems are often outlawed unless they are grandfathered in due to their age or permitted through the environmental protection agency.
Often onsite treatment systems are required to be designed or installed first.
landplan.io offers a set of drawing tools to easily generate discharging system maps and design plans.
You can easily share your plans with regulatory agencies and installation contractors.
Follow the steps below generate a Discharging System Design Plan:
Draw a Building With Flow feature and use the feature properties window to generate your flow rate: click here to learn more about our building with flow tool: Building with Flow
Connect a Sewer Main feature from the building at the estimated sewer exit of the building to the desired tank location click here to learn more about our pipe drawing tools: Sewer Main
Add a series of Tanks. You can use our Tank Tools to easily select local products from local Tank Manufacturers. Septic, Treatment Tanks, and Dose Tanks, Pumps, and Control Panels are often all needed in combination to generate an approved discharging system as these systems are often rely on high technology. click here to learn more about our tank drawing tools: Tank Tools
If you need to use specific geographic coordinates for your label of the discharge point (sometimes required by the regulatory agency), you can copy the coordinates by right-clicking on any point on the map. 
4. Add a Discharging Point using the Elevation Tool. click here to learn more about the elevation tool: Elevation Tool
- Add a Force Main (piping from the pump) or Distribution Main (gravity effluent pipe) from the last tank to the discharge point
After your drawings are completed in landplan.io, you can do a few things:
a. Share your map digitally via the share interface: Share your Map Digitally
b. Generate a PDF Map via the Print View interface: Print a PDF Map
c. Generate a PDF Plan via the Calculator interface: Print a PDF Report
