In reviewing the design criteria that I had submitted in 1998,I believe the following observations are in order: 1. The existing system was designed and built to handle the future [today] building expansion for our complex to handle 550 people on Sunday mornings, 300 on Sunday evenings, and 250 on Wednesday evenings. We also had a small Christian school that met daily at the facilities and consideration was given to peak flows for church dinners, special banquets or wedding receptions, etc. 2. At that time we proposed a system that was 4.25 times larger than necessary. 3. However our future expectations have proved somewhat optimistic. Instead of 550 we are designing the expansion for only 350 seats giving a potential total future at this point of about 500 including Sunday School and Junior Church— 10 to 15 years from now. 4. Also we no longer have Wednesday evening church, having gone to small groups during the midweek which largely meet in people's homes. Also we no longer have a Christian school as more people are home schooling or sending their kids to public or other Christian schools. Also our Sunday evening services have not grown as more people are opting for Sunday morning and Wednesday evening small group meetings. 5. The original design in 1998 called for Total Maximum One Day Flows of 2600gpd and Average Daily Flows of 540 gallons/day [calculated for optimistic future growth]. The current future projections would be the same as the past future projections. Our current attendance is about 250 on Sunday mornings, which is actually about the same as it was in 1998. However, we used to have two Sunday morning services but have chosen to go back to one for various reasons which necessitates expanding our auditorium by about 50%. We have continued our maintenance of the system by having both tanks pumped every two years to avoid solids build up which would effectively reduce the tank sizes. When we built the new field lines and connected the two field systems together as shown in the drawing that you sent to me, we found that after 10 years of use including dosing by pumping at 75 gpm the effluent had never reached that far into the field line. Dust was still on the rocks and pipe from the construction in 1988. This indicates that the system is well oversized to handle any future foreseeable growth.
