  1. Innovative/Alternative Septic System Performance System Performance and Tracking it with the Carmody Database Barnstable County Department of Health and Environment

  2. By The Numbers Permit Breakdown by Town and System Type

  3. Box-WhiskerDiagrams What are they? Min/Max Value Min/Max Value Box Median – Middle Value Whiskers 50% 25% 25% Probability Density Graph (“Bell Curve”)

  4. Box-Whisker Diagrams What Can We Use Them For? A – A “Good” System. Box and whiskers are short and compact. B – A “Bad” System. Results are all over the place. Box and whiskers are stretched out. C – A “Consistently Bad” System. Compact but well above TN limit (19 mg/l) D – A “Usually Pretty Good” System. Compact but maybe a couple of high results. A B C D

  5. Single Family by Individual System (County) Three or More Samples with Full Nitrogen Series • 761 systems with 3 or more TN samples • 569 of 761 (75%) with median TN <19 mg/l

  6. Single Family all Types (Barnstable) Three or More Samples with Full Nitrogen Series • 40 systems with 3 or more TN samples • 29 of 40 (72%) with median TN <19 mg/l

  18. Nitrex System at 15 Dory Lane, Eastham Influent versus Effluent Total Nitrogen Design Flow = 9,900 gpd 40 Houses at Buildout 30 Houses currently occupied, with 6 seasonal Influent TN Effluent TN

  19. Single Family all Types by System Type Three or More Samples with Full Nitrogen Series

  20. Keeping Track of it All… Sample Reports Messages Amount of the Exceedance Exceedance Percentage Exceeding Parameter Number of Consecutive Exceedances 25.83 mg/L > 19mg/L(36%) for Total Nitrogen 1 Consecutive 4 Non-Consecutive (25.83,8.54,43.4,29.35,24.1) Number of Non-Consecutive Exceedances Results from the Last Five Samples

  21. Keeping Track of it All… “Cleaned Up” Sample Exceedance Report • Exceedance reports will be delivered semi-annually. • BOH will decide what action to take, since each BOH will likely have a different policy.
