Below, please calculate the expected daily sewage flow and mark in the space provided. For non-residential occupancies see
Table 8.2.1.3 (B)

Q (L/day) 750 1100 1600 2000 2500
If you have more than 5 bedrooms, put 5 in the exisitng number of bedrooms and add additional bedrooms under addional flow
for each bedroom over 5

*NOTE: where you need to do multiple calculations, signified by the "OR" in the table, do the calculation for daily sewage flow based on
bedrooms and floor space first, then fixture units, and use the larger of the two calculations.

STEP 2 - PROPERTY SOIL PROFILE AND PERCOLATION RATE (T) DESCRIPTION
Please refer to the APH website pages title Property Soil Profile & Percolation Rate to find how to determine the
percolation rate of the soil on your site. Percolation rate(T) is measured as minutes/centimetre, and measures the
rate at which water drains into the soil. Please indicate the T-time of your site below.
(1) Coarse (2) Gravel, (3) Gravel, (4) Sand, (6) Silty, (7) Clay,
Soil Type farily
Gravel, no some small sand mix, uniform, (5) Sandy, Loam, smears well,
Loam mix rolls into
fines rocks some fines some fines almost clay ribbon
T-time 0 to 1 1 to 5 5 to 10 10 to 15 15 to 25 25 to 50 > 50

CONTACT AREA CALCULATION
If you do not have a minimum of 250mm of useable soil on the property, you will need to import the mantle or contact area.
Choose T and, divide Q by Loading Rate for T
Percolation Time (T) of soil (min/cm) Loading Rate (L/m2/day)

1 < T ≤ 20 10
20 < T ≤ 35 8
35 < T ≤ 50 6
T > 50 4
DAILY SEWAGE FLOW ÷ Loading Rate (L/m2/day) = CONTACT AREA (m2)

STEP 3 - A) SEPTIC TANK SIZE CALCULATION
To calculate the minimum capacity of your septic tank, use the following formulas. Minimum tank size is 3600L.
Residential: Q= 2XQ= Tank Size:

Other Occupants: Q= 3XQ= Tank Size:
B) LEACHING BED LENGTH CALCULATION (conventional)
Length (m)= (Q X T)/200 Length of Pipe (ft )=
Number of Runs (m): D-BOX (Y/N): Header (Y/N):

C) FILTER BED - Where you may not have sufficient area on your property to install a leaching bed, you may
install a filter bed for your distribution system
FILTER BED CALCULATION - If your daily sewage flow is less than 3000L/day, perform calculation 1), or if
your daily sewage flow exceeds 3000L/day, perform calculation 2).
Calculation 1) - Filter Bed Surface Area
Surface Area (m2) = Q ÷ 75
Q= FILTER BED SURFACE AREA (m2) =

SA = FILTER BED SURFACE AREA (ft2) =
Calculation 2) - Filter Bed Surface Area
Surface Area (m2) = Q ÷ 50
Q= FILTER BED SURFACE AREA (m2) =

SA = FILTER BED SURFACE AREA (ft2) =
Select a desired length for the filter bed

DESIGN CALCULATIONS FOR A CLASS 2 SEWAGE SYSTEM
Refer to Sizing a Grey Water System located at the end of the description for a Class 2 - Leaching Pit
system located on the APH website at www.algomapublichealth.com
D) GREYWATER SYSTEM -CLASS 2

1) How much Grey Water Waste?
Do you have presurized(P) or non-

presurized(N) water? (P/N)
Type of System Number of Volume/Unit Grey Water Waste, Q (L)

Fixture Units (L)
IF Grey Water Waste(Q) is greater than 1000L, a grey water system cannot be used.
2) Loading Rate (LR)

Loading Rate = 400/T
T= LOADING RATE (L/m2/day) =

Loading Rate =
3) Size of System
Size of System = Q / LR
Q= SIZE OF SYSTEM (m2) =

LR =
DESIGN CALCULATIONS FOR A CLASS 5 SEWAGE SYSTEM

E) Holding Tank - Class 5
In order to calculated the capacity of your proposed holding tank, you must perform the following two
calculations, and install a holding tank(s) with a capacity of the greater volume
Minimum Holding Tank Capacity (L) = 9000
Seven(7) X Daily Sewage Flow, Q (L) =
MINIMUM HOLDING TANK CAPACITY
