Performed the site assessment, percolation test, and design to obtain permits, executed the construction of the new septic system, and closed out the old cesspool. Designed and installed the 1250-gal septic tank with an associated leach field and backfilled the existing cesspool.  A pump was added due to the discovery of a secondary sewer source lower than the installed septic intake. A cost evaluation was conducted to compare adding a pump to the secondary sewer line versus lowering the septic system and intake, since the construction of the system had already started, and adding the pump proved to be the most economical solution. 

Conducted a site survey and performed an alternative wastewater solution assessment, confirming existing composting toilets have replaced the use of an existing large-capacity cesspool. Currently awaiting permit approvals to complete the cesspool closure and EPA notification.

Designed and installed a 1500-gal septic tank with associated leach field to replace the previously abandoned cesspool found to be active and in need of emergency repair and replacement. Performed site assessment, percolation test, and design to immediately execute construction and close out the cesspool with after the fact permitting because of the emergency scenario found with the existing cesspool having been filled by a previous contractor with debris while still active.  After backfilling the septic system, restoration of landscaping was also performed.

QRSE conducted a site survey and alternative wastewater solution assessment and confirmed connection to the county sewer system.  Cesspool closure executed and final conditions filed and cleared with EPA.

 A Cesspool Assessment for the ASB Hanapepe Branch performed by others identified one (1) operable cesspool located on the property, 6 ft diameter, 8 ft 6 in depth. QRSE checked as-built plans from the County Wastewater Division to design a proposed lateral connection and based on a plan and profile of a sewer line along the Kona Road address of the bank, a section of the CoK wastewater Plan & Profile drawing indicated that service to the existing sewer may have already been installed, but only showed the connection from the CoK sewer to the property line.

 A site visit revealed saw cuts and asphalt replacement in the parking lot, indicating work had been completed from the building, intersecting at the cesspool, and traveling to the Kona Road CoK sewer line.  QRSE coordinated an investigation that would show running water from the property to the sewer manhole #2 (SMH#2), with CoK observers.  A traffic control plan was prepared, and the permit was approved by CoK, to redirect traffic on Kona Street. SMH#2 was accessed, the property water was turned on, and flow was observed and confirmed by all in attendance at the lateral connection.  QRSE also checked that water from the property did not flow into the cesspool.

 The CoK Wastewater Division and Building Division – Building permits section accepted the QRSE findings without requiring any “after the fact” connection fees or permits be provided.
