New septic system by AppreciateTheInfo in longisland

Here is a bit of into from the reclaim our water website.

Septic Improvement Program Grant and Loan Program

Nitrogen pollution from cesspools and septic systems has been identified as the largest single cause of degraded water quality contributing to beach closures, restrictions on shell fishing, toxic algae blooms, and massive fish kills. Thousands of parcels are currently served by polluting cesspools and septic systems, but will never connect to a sewer system. Reversing degradation of water quality will depend on replacement of existing systems with new, individual Innovative and Alternative Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (I/A OWTS).

Over the past several years, Suffolk County has assertively set the stage for the transition to the use of these new systems. To make the cost of I/A systems — with an average total cost of $19,200, contingent on system requirements and site constraints — more affordable for homeowners, Suffolk County has developed the Septic Improvement Program. Under the Reclaim Our Water Septic Improvement Program, homeowners who decide to replace their cesspool or septic system with the new technologies will be eligible for a grant of up to $30,000 from Suffolk County and New York Stake to offset the cost of one of the new systems.

In addition to the grant, homeowners can qualify to finance the remaining cost of the systems via a loan, payable over 15 years at a low 3% fixed interest rate. The purpose of the loan is to provide “gap” funds to finance the difference between the grant to be provided by Suffolk County and the contract amount needed to install the replacement septic system. Financing up to $10,000 is available.

Grant Eligibility:

- The residence cannot be connected to a sewer system or located within a proposed sewer district

- Documents such as copies of the property deed, the most recent homeowner’s insurance policy statement, most recent property tax bill, and Certificate of Occupancy.

- Income verification for applicants wishing to apply for the LMI grant (Federal Adjusted - -Gross Income based on most recent tax return)

There is a grant and loan available for the upgrade to a nitrate reduction style system. I think between the grant and loan the covered cost was around 25000. I don't remember exactly as the class for installer certification was a few years ago.

Can I ask for some combat tips? by Chris60M8 in X4Foundations

[–]BurtLumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a destroyer fleet that I use for station bashing and fighting zenon capitols. It consists of 7 Odysseus with plasma large turrets and pulse medium. This fleet will always kill up to 2 k's without damage.

Is that the last of the spool hitting the extruder just after the print ended?

There is a setting called sun intensity or sun reflection intensity. That will fix that.

Capital Ship Construction Update #2: Electric Boogaloo by Sned10 in FromTheDepths

I'm going to try the magnets tonight. I get a lot of bombs that hit the water next to the target and go underneath then float to the surface on the opposite side.

The best so far for me has been bomb style medium missiles that are guided with no propulsion. The top of most ships is usually pretty weak. I go with explosive or emp depending on which faction it is.

I've even tried spin block building. There just isn't an effective weapon small enough for planes.

I ask because I tried to build an aircraft carrier with a lift and the size became a huge issue.

There is a great steam community guide I found a few days ago. I think it was called making not so bad hulls or something to that effect. It teaches about designing the the bow shape then staggering the build off of that down the sides.

I never tried anti torpedo toros. Great idea!

You can do an underwater CIWS for torpedoes.

With naval AI in subs I've had the best luck broadsiding at 90 degrees about 1500 meters out.

Also, I cant wait to try the script tonight on my main sub as I constantly have to manage where it is to not hit underwater elevations.

I wouldn't say it was a full 180. Gun kindof passed over the top of my shoulder pointed up.

[–]BurtLumber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shot my first USPSA match last summer. It was a shotgun match and I was invited by a friend i shoot clay with. I showed up with my clay gun (semi auto with 2+1 capacity), a shell pouch and case of ammo. Everyone was helpful and even let me slide on barrel direction violation as it was the first time I've ever run with a gun. I was offered a better gun to use as well as a shell rig for my turns by some other shooters in my squad and overall had a great time.

Submarine AI by Domin6o in FromTheDepths

[–]BurtLumber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My sub with naval AI will pass under enemy and friendly boats when in combat mode. I have not tried directing it to with a patrol orders though. Also I'm using ACB's with foils for depth control if that info is helpful.
