How to Identify “Alternative
Septic” Investment Property.
Alternative Septic Investment
Property is property that previously couldn't be developed due to numerous reasons which prevented the installation of
a conventional septic system.
Many of these properties
can now be developed using the latest technological advancements in waste management. By using High-Tech Septic Systems
that are alternatives to limited conventional septic systems, one can now develop property once considered worthless.
When looking for Alternative
Septic Investment Property, I can only assume that one would most likely look for low-cost property rendered virtually worthless
due to its inability to be developed, however, I can definitely tell you the symptoms to look for physically, on the
land itself, when trying to identify such properties.
Property rendered unable to
be developed could exhibit the following properties:
- Restrictive Subsurface Layers or “rock” that is too close to the surface.
This often occurs in mountainous areas.
- High Water Tables or too much water in the area to absorb the effluent.
This often occurs in places near lakes and other water bodies.
- Substandard Soil Conditions
- Slopes exceeding 5 to 10% . This
often occurs in mountainous areas.
These conditions often
prevent the installation of conventional septic systems but are ideal for unconventional or “alternative” septic
systems. Each problem listed is addressed by a solution below.
1.Restrictive Subsurface
Layers or “rock” that is too close to the surface as in mountainous areas.
This problem can be solved by installing a Drip Emitter System.
2. High Water Tables
or too much water in the area to absorb the soil. This problem
can be solved by installing a Mound or Peat Moss System.
3. Substandard Soil
Conditions
This problem can be
solved by installing a Drip Emitter System.
4. Slopes exceeding 5 to 10%.
This problem can be
solved by installing a Drip Emitter System.

Perc-rite Email Inquiry:
Mr. Wolf,
Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly! I did have a few questions about the Perc-Rite
systems.
First, so far as basic questions go, how would you explain the difference between drip emitter systems
and conventional systems to someone who's not familiar with either?
Second, how have they worked out so far? Have homeowner/developer experiences been generally good?
Are there any specific issues that homeowners need to be aware of before installing them
Do they would truly make undevelopable land developable? Have you worked with any developers who have used the system to do that? If so, how has it worked out (and if
you can perhaps put me in touch with any of them, I would really appreciate it!)?
Let me know what you think. Thanks so much!
Beth
Answer from Don Wolf:
Beth,
It was my pleasure responding to your inquiry. As to the difference between
conventional systems and drip emitter systems, conventional systems use passive technology to transpire waste water (effluent...
see Septic 101) into the absorption area. Drip emitter systems use active means
to do the work. They pump the effluent into the ground in the absorption areas.
Drip emitter systems have been around for about twenty years. They were developed
in Israel as a means of reclaiming dessert areas using fresh water to provide consistent distribution to water these areas
evenly. Waste water drip systems used this even distribution method to keep the discharge below surface for
proper treatment. We have several communities in the Atlanta, Georgia area that were able to be developed because of
this technology. We even have a POTW (Publicly Owned Treatment Works) plant in Cherokee County Georgia using this technology to dispose of their out flows
in an environmentally safe manner.
Issues that confront homeowners with these systems are fairly basic. System
service requirements are about the same as but are a bit more critical than conventional systems.
The areas that have been able to be developed through use of these systems are on
public record at most of our County Environmental Health offices throughout Georgia, Virginia, North and South Carolinas,
Texas, and other States.
