Dog kennel septic system design
Dog kennel septic system design
(OP)
I'm trying to assist some friends design a septic system for their planned dog kennel. back in november of '03 Hokiengineer posed a question about this.
My question would be to ask Hokiengineer where the >400mg/l and 153 mg/l values he included in that post for BOD and TSS were obtained. If anyone has a source that would help me quantify wastewater strength for such an installation it would be most appreciated.

Since you are planning on the use of a septic system, you probably should try to remove the feces off the floor and place it in a dumpster rather than wash it down the drain into the septic system.
Here is some help on the BOD side:

Kentucky State regulations call for a wastewater flow of 5 gallons per dog per day:
