“Golf clubs that say ‘we’ll wait’ are taking the risk that they do not suffer a spillage”


PETER ROBERTS, Managing Director, Hydroscape


water management systems. “What is essential is the installation of a dedicated washpad that prevents waste water escaping to ground and that will contain all wash water and direct it through a trap and into an interceptor or a recycling system.” Clubs can ensure


compliance in two ways” he says. “First, by fitting an appropriate interceptor (also called a separator) preferably with a grass trap and sand filter to help prevent rapid build-up of organic matter and solids in the interceptor. A Class 1 full retention interceptor with coalescing filter, auto shut-off valve and oil level alarm is now the only option for discharge to soakaway or stream,” Mears adds.


“Second, by installing a


water recycling system. The ClearWater option that we supply is sited below ground, creating less visual and noise intrusion than above-ground alternatives, while also providing a more stable environment for the micro- organisms to work in.” “We do not supply off-the- shelf microbes but ones specially engineered for the type of biological process required. Because we supply turnkey solutions, our system can be adapted to various applications however


constrained the available space is. This is a major advantage because sites can vary considerably.” “Much confusion surrounds the legislation and guidelines governing waste water management.” says Mears. “Most clubs would like to comply but they are unsure about which measures apply to them. One that certainly will is The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001. With effect from 1st September this year, clubs are breaking the law if their oil storage, especially fuel tanks do not comply. A range of fully compliant fuel stations and sump pallets are available nationally from approved distributors such as Course Care.”


Jon Jinks, Managing


Director of Osprey Irrigation Ltd, which supplies the Bio- series biological wastewater treatment system through its Osprey Washdown arm, underlines the message. “Ensuring that oil,


wastewater and solids do not enter watercourses or the mains sewage system is not just good environmental practice, it now a matter of law,” he says. “We endeavour to make all compliance with legislation, simple, effective and economic over the long term.”


Canford School, Dorset, have installed the ClearWater recycling system and integrated fuel station from Course Care


“Intended to be used by golf courses, other outdoor sports facilities, hire centres and vehicle repair facilities where vehicles and equipment need to be washed down on a regular basis, the Bio-series system removes hydrocarbons, pesticides, herbicides, solids and pathogens, rendering wastewater safe” Jinks adds. Similar in function to


Hydroscape’s system, the Bio-series utilises microbial media to transform organic contaminants such as oil, grease, herbicides and pesticides) into carbon dioxide and water. Available to purchase or lease, the system is said to be simple and inexpensive to operate, needs little maintenance, is quiet and produces no foul odours. It can be operated in recycle or discharge mode.
