Subject: Potter Highlands Phase 2, Block 2, Lot 5
Septic System Design Narrative
This is a design narrative for a permit to install an initial septic system on the subject property. The proposed
installation will serve a proposed four‐bedroom (4) house. This lot and surrounding lots are served by private wells.
The proposed system will maintain required separation to all surrounding wells and septics.
1. Soils:
A test hole was performed on this lot by Pannone Engineering Services, LLC on 5/25/2023. Groundwater was
observed during the excavation of the test hole at a depth of three and one half feet (3.5’), and bedrock was not
encountered. Groundwater was observed in the test hole monitor tube after 7‐days at a depth of four feet (4.0’).
Based on the results of the percolation test and overall soils appearance an application rate of 6 gpd/SF was used for
the design of a CAT III wastewater treatment system in the area of the test hole.
2. Soil Absorption System Design.
a. See Sheet 1 of the design package.
3. Surface Water:
There is no surface water within 100 feet of the proposed septic tank and drain field.
4. Topography:
See attached site plan for area topography. There are no steep slopes in the vicinity of the drain field.
5. Drawing Markings: The Drawings are marked “For MOA Review Only”. When written notification that the
review is complete and no further comments are received from MoA On‐Site Department, the note will be removed
and “For Construction” drawings will be issued.
The proposed installation will not affect the future development of this or the surrounding lots.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at (907) 745‐8200.

Anchorage, herein the ` UNICI.PALITY", in accordance with Anchorage Municipal Code
(AMC) 15.65.365. In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties to this
Agreement agree as follows:
I. Advanced Wastewater Treatment Systems. The Municipality grants permission to the
Owner to utilize and operate an Advanced Wastewater Treatment System (AWWTS),
described as Advantex
located at (legal description)
Potter Highlands Ph2 B2 L5
2. Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations,
(Owner is required to read, understand and initial each section)
Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Owner shall enter into a service agreement
with an AWWTS service and maintenance provider approved by the Municipality or the
manufacturer's representative. The AWWTS shall be maintained in a satisfactory
condition capable of performing as designed and producing treated septic effluent in
accordance with the equipment's approval for operation in the Municipality.
It shall be the responsibility of the Owner during the term of this Agreement to pay for all
repair(s), maintenance, adjustment(s), replacement costs, and inspection costs. This
includes an annual maintenance fee (typically $400 to $600).
Owner agrees that only maintenance and repair personnel approved by the Municipality
or the manufacturer's representative will inspect and make any necessary maintenance,
repairs or permitted alterations to the system.
Owner acknowledges that regular maintenance of an AWWTS reduces the potential
failure of the system, which could include sewage backup and costly repairs or drainfield
replacement.

Owner acknowledges that the Municipality may request records of maintenance and
repairs from the manufacturer's representative or maintenance provider.
Owner acknowledges that the fine for failing to maintain and repair an AWWTS may be
assessed in accordance with AMC 14.60.030.
Owner agrees to grant the Municipality reasonable access to test and inspect the
AWWTS. The Municipality will give at least 24-hour notice.
Owner agrees that any sale or transfer of title of the property will not occur without a new
Certificate of On -Site Systems Approval.
Owner agrees that the AWWTS installation and maintenance requirements as provided
by the AWWTS vendor/installer and approved by the Municipality are the governing
guidelines for the construction, maintenance and repair of the Owner's AWWTS.
Owner agrees to maintain remote monitoring of the AWWTS as required by the
AWWTS approval.
3. Term. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date of approval by the
Municipality to operate the installed system, or upon transfer of title, and shall continue
while the AWWTS is operational or until title is transferred.
4. Nonwaiver. The failure of the Municipality at any time to enforce a provision of this
Agreement shall in no way constitute a waiver of the provisions, nor in any way affect
the validity of the Agreement or any part hereof, or the right of the Municipality
thereafter to enforce every provision hereof.
5. Amendment. This Agreement shall only be amended by authorized representatives of
the Owner and Municipality. Any attempt to amend this agreement by either an
unauthorized representative or unauthorized means shall be void.
6. Jurisdiction: Choice of Law. Any civil action arising from this Agreement shall be
brought in the Superior Court for the Third Judicial District of the State of Alaska at
Anchorage. The laws of the State of Alaska shall govern the rights and obligations of the
parties under this Agreement.
7. Severability. Any provisions of this Agreement decreed invalid by a court of competent
jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions of the Agreement.

Ms. Connie Yoshimura
Potter Highland, LLC.
561 E. 36th Avenue Suite 200
Anchorage, Alaska 90503
Dear Ms. Yoshimura:
This is in response to your October 18, 2122, request for an Approved Jurisdictional
Determination fora 7.3 -acre parcel of land described as Potter Highlands Subdivision
Block 2 Lots'4 & 5. It has been assigned number POA -2021-00454, Little Rabbit Creek,
which should be referred to in all correspondence with us. The project site is located
within Section 14, T. 11 N., R. 3 W., Seward Meridian; USGS Quad Map Anchorage
A-8; Latitude 61.048270* N., Longitude 149.7706430 W.; Municipality of Anchorage,
Potter Highlands Subdivision, Block 2, Lot 4-5; in Anchorage, Alaska
Based on our review of the information you furnished and available to us and our
September 27, 2021, site visit, we have determined the above property contains waters
of the U.S., including wetlands, under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)
regulatory jurisdiction. Specifically, there are: 0.036 acres of wetlands and 527 linear
feet of stream channel below the ordinary high water mark on the site. These waters of
the U.S. are shown on the enclosed drawings prepared by the Corps and dated
February 2022,
We have also determined that the subject parcel contains wetlands which are not
waters of the U.S. under our regulatory jurisdiction. Wetland A and Wetland B on your
property do not have a surface hydrologic connection to a traditional navigable water
(TNW), and are therefore not considered to be waters of the U.S. Therefore, a
Department of the Army (DA) permit is not required for any activities which may occur
within Wetland A and Wetland B on your property.
A copy of the Approved Jurisdictional Determination form is available under the
above file number at the following address:
hftps://www.poa.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/Jurisdictional-
Determinations/Jurisdictional-Determination-Archivel.
This jurisdictional determination does not establish any precedent with respect to
any other jurisdictional determination under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
_2_
The waters on your parcel were reviewed pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act which requires that a DA permit be obtained for the placement or discharge
of dredged and/or fill material into waters of the U.S., including jurisdictional wetlands,
prior to conducting the work (33 U.S.C. 1344).
For regulatory purposes, the Corps of Engineers defines wetlands as those areas
that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration
sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of
vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.
This approved jurisdictional determination is valid for five (5) years from the date of
this letter, unless new information supporting a revision is provided to us before the
expiration date. Enclosed is a Notification of Administrative Appeal Options and Process
and Request for Appeal form (see section titled "Approved Jurisdictional
Determination").
You can find a copy of the DA permit application online at the following address:
www.poa.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory. Please see the sample drawings on our
website: wWw.poa-usace.ar.my-mil/Portals/:34/docs/regul6tory/guidetodrawings2012.pdf.
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires that a DA permit be obtained for the
placement or discharge of dredged and/or fill material into waters of the U.S., including
jurisdictional wetlands (33 U.S.C. 1344). The Corps defines wetlands as those areas
that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration
sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of
vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.
Nothing in this letter excuses you from compliance with other Federal, State, or local
statutes, ordinances, or regulations.
Please contact me via email at Eric. J.White@usace.army. m il, by mail at the
address above, by phone at (907) 753-5693, or toll free from within Alaska at

SEC'T'ION HI: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WE'T'LANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW,
complete Section IH.A.1 and Section M.D.I. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete
Sections HLA.1 and 2 and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section HLR below.

B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WFTLANDS (IT' ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and
it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rgpurtos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non -navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively
permanent waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally
(e.g., typically 3 months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a
TNW, but has year-round (perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly
abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section IH.DA.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps
districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a
significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and
a traditional navigable water, even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to
determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant
nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus
evaluation that combines, for analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used. whether the
review area identified in the JD request i5 the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary
with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.R.1 for the tributary, Section M.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section
111.13.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a significant
nexus exists is determined in Section I11.0 below.

Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed: A subsurface flow was observed in
a sample pit dug between Wetland C and Tributary 2. The water was clear and is evidence of the lateral movement of water
between Wetland C and Tributary 2. Several hydrological indicators were observed in Tributary 2 (RPW), including bed and
banks, OHWM, and multiple hydrological indicators including a clear natural line impressed on the bank, vegetation matted
down, bent, or absent, leaf litter disturbed or washed away, water staining, and sediment sorting. Tributary 2 was followed,
back to Tributary I where a connection was observed. Tributary 1 is a RPW that flows downhill and downstream west to
Potter's Creek (RPW) then Turnagain Arm (TNW). This is evidence that Wetland C support chemical inputs into stream
ecology, supports baseline flows, and feeds detritus along wetlands located further downstream of Tributary 1 before
emptying into Turnagain Ann.
POA -2021-00454
C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINA'T'ION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions
performed by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical,
and biological integrity of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in
combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical,
physical andlor biological integrity of a TNW. Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not
limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and
the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant
nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between
a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain is not solely
determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos
Guidance and discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
® Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood
waters to TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
m Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support
functions for fish and other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present
in the TNW?
® Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and
organic carbon that supportdownstream foodwebs?
® Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical,
chemical, or biological integrity of the TNW?
Note. tate above list of considerations is not inclusive and oilier functions observed or known to occur should be
documented below.
I. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into
TNNVs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to
Section M.D:
2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or
indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on fire tributary in
combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to Section Iff.D:
3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, then go to Section IIID: A subsurface flow of water was observed in a sample point dug between 0.036 -acre
Wetland C, and Tributary 2. Water flow was observed from the bottom of the hole (approximately 12 inches deep) as
well as from approximately 4 inches deep in the hole. The subsurface flour of water is evidence a hydrologic connection
between Wetland C and Tributary 2 exists. Several hydrological indicators were observed in Tributary 2, including bed
and banks, OHWM, and multiple hydrological indicators including a clear natural line impressed on the bank, vegetation
matted down, bent, or absent, leaf litter disturbed or washed away, water staining, and sediment sorting. Tributary 2 has
a surface hydrologic connection to Tributary 1, (RPW), which flows to Potter Creek (RPW), then T►unagain Arm, a
TNW. The above information is evidence that Wetland C support chemical inputs into stream ecology, supports baseline
flows, and feeds detritus along wetlands located further downstream of Tributary I before emptying into Tumagain Arm.
Wetland C, in combination with Tributaries I and 2 has the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support
downstream foodwcbs as well as the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to Tumagain Arm (TNW), or to reduce
the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW.
