This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Greywater and Willow Feeders.
For this Badge Bit you will reroute house plumbing that drains to a septic system drain field into a collection of mulch pits instead.
To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
report on entire greywater system load, and how the mulch pits are big enough for this load
mulch pits are a different BB
add signage at every fixture telling people that this fixture drains to a greywater system. Explain what is and is not okay to put down the drain.
kitchen sink signs need to mention the value of filtering chunky bits
all of the existing toilets must be replaced with indoor willow feeders
willow feeders are a different BB
The old drainfield will simply be bypassed, re-route the plumbing down-stream from the septic tank to point to mulch pits instead of the drainfield
Need the ability to easily convert back to the old drainfield
To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must show proof of the following (as pictures or a video < 2 mins):
- show before, progress, and after of rerouting house septic plumbing to a collection of mulch pits
- demonstrate that it meets the above requirements
