What is meant by lagoon systems?
Lagoons are basin-like to collect, retain, and treat wastewater for a predefined amount of time. They are pond-like bodies of water.
Components of lagoon systems:
- A septic tank plus a small earthen pond with a constant 3-foot depth make up a lagoon system.
- A septic tank is a sizable, underground, watertight, corrosion-resistant container that collects untreated sewage from a home's plumbing drains.
- Dumping by septage hauling trucks is a common cause of slug loading into lagoons.
- Depth of sludge on the bottom of a lagoon that indicates that the lagoon should be cleaned is 1 foot.
- carbon dioxide gas is used and produced by algae, causing variations in a lagoon's pH.
- Biological growth provides enough oxygen to sufficiently aerate most lagoons for treatment processes to work.
- pH above 8.5 keeps lagoons from generating odors.
