Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La fosse liquéfactrice doit être obligatoirement suivie d'un élément épurateur, dont la destination est d'assurer l'oxydation de l'affluent produit par la fosse, avant son évacuation à l'extérieur. [...] cet élément épurateur pourra être constitué : soit par un lit bactérien percolateur; soit par un épandage souterrain à faible profondeur [...]. 6, record 1, French, - champ%20d%27%C3%A9puration
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
L'épandage souterrain [...] paraît constituer dans le cas des fosses septiques, un des meilleurs procédés d'épuration [...]. Il faut évidemment un sol perméable et ne pas dépasser la faculté d'absorption de ce sol [...] ce qui implique de se réserver la possibilité d'étendre ultérieurement le développement du réseau d'épandage. L'épandage se fait à l'aide de drains, tuyaux de terre cuite de 0,30 m de long, placés bout à bout. 6, record 1, French, - champ%20d%27%C3%A9puration
