One item discussed in our preliminary field assessment letter dated September 30, 1994 is not accurate. The existing wastewater disposal system consisted of a 2,000 gallon holding tank. See attached letter dated September 5, 1995 discussing tank capacity. The location of the new water well varies form the permitted location approximately 50 feet. The setback distance from the holding tank has been increased from 75 to 90 feet. Erosion and/or changing of the stream bank prompted the change in location. Landscaping around the home site was also factored in to the new well location. There are no apparent sources of contamination within 200 feet, wastewater systems in the vicinity are holding tanks. The Owner abandoned the existing well located adjacent to the house, rock concrete was poured into the well and a steel plate was welded over as a cap 2 feet below grade. The graywater system has been abandoned, all three pipelines connecting the 1,000 gallon storage (removed from site since taken out of service) tank to the house have been cut and capped in the crawl space. The entire wastewater system is piped into the existing 2,000 gallon holding tank. If you or your staffhave any questions please contact our office at (907) 562-1830.

We understand from conversations with you that a 2,000 gallon holding tank was installed in 1986. On August 31, we verified the tank has the nominal capacity from conversations with Don Davis of Girdwood Services who pumps from 1,300 to-l,600 gallons from the tank. We did not dig up the tank and therefore cannot verify its condition. We measured approximately 85 feet from the tank to Bird Creek surface water. We previously recommended and understand that a new MOA-approved is being installed 75 feet from the existing holding tank to satisfy the well-to-holding-tank requirement. See the attached sketch. As you can see by the site sketch, the existing holding tank, cannot be moved to any position in reasonable proximity to the house and satisfy the 100 setback to surface water requirement. We also considered a conventional leachfield system in lieu of a holding tank. After reviewing the site geometry and topography, a conventional system is not recommended because: 1. No land is available which is 100 feet from surface water. High groundwater and porous soils could cause contamination of Bird Creek if separation distances are reduced, thus requesting a waiver for the leachfield-to-surface-water separation is not recommended. We recommend that you upgrade the existing zero discharge holding tank with a high level alarm system, abandon the existing well. install a new well which is at least 75 feet from the holding tank, and seek a waiver of the holding-tank-to-surface-water separation distance. 139 East 51st Avenue · Anchorage.

Your existing water/wastewater system consists of a well and holding tank. We understand that the existing well is ±40 feet in depth and your existing wastewater disposal consists of a 1,000 gallon holding tank which is pumped regularly by a local pumping company under a maintenance agreement. We understand your graywater dispcsa! is a gravity drain to a 1,000 gallon, 2-compartment tank and a short drain field near the house. The site on which you are situated is very compressed between Bird Creek and the toe of the hill. See the attached sketch. After surveying the site again cn September 27, 1994, we find that there is not no feasible locaticn for a conventional septic system on the property due surface water, steep topography, and setback requirements. The only space available for a leachfield is next to Bird Creek which does not meet the 100' setback requirement to surface water. For environmental reasons, we do not recommend intalling a leachfield next to Bird Creek, even if a waiver could be obtained. The only viable option for pro5ecting the groundwater is to: 1. Move the well away from the holding tank to comply with current 75' well-to-holding-tank regulations, and 2. Install an M.O.A. approved 2,000 gallon holding tank complete with, alarms, and a maintenance agreement, and Obtain a waiver from the 100' separation distance requirement between a holding tank and surface water. The proposed distance is estimated at about 85' We believe that a zero-discharge technology such as the holding tank is the only feasible means of wastewater disposal given the site restrictions existing. 139 East 51s~ .¥,enue · A~chorage. &laska ~95£3.-2-~5 · Phone: (907/ 562-1830 · FaCS mile.

The three home sites on the south side of Bird Creek are proposed to have septic systems. The five home sites on the north side of Bird Creek are proposed to have earth privy systems. Sharon Whitlock: No acceptable perc locations were observed in the field. Recommendation: 1. The use of a holding tank located just south of the road in the front of the house. 2. Move the well to the north of the house along Bird Creek to meet the 100 foot setback requirement from well to holding tank. Dea Calvin: A distance of 87 feet from well to septic was verified. Recommendation: 1. Apply for a waiver on the 100 foot set back from septic to well measurement. 2. Perform an adequacy test on the septic system. Butch Wheeler: A distance of 90 feet from holding tank to surface water and 10 feet from holding tank to well were verified. Recommendation: 1. Move the holding tank to the south next to the base of the hill approximately 15 feet or apply for a waiver on the 100 foot setback from holding tank to surface water measurement. 2. Move the well to the west of the house along Bird Creek to meet the 100 foot set back requirement from well to holding tank. Fritz Ha es: Three test holes were excavated (see attachment). TH1 established bedrock at 3.5 feet. TH2 established bedrock at 1.5 feet. TH3 established bedrock at an acceptable depth of 4.5 feet, a minimal percolation rate of 80.0 minutes/inch was tested at this location. Recommendation: 1. Move the privy to an area of 4.5 feet or greater to bedrock and find a location which will have a minimal percolation rate of 60.0 minutes/inch.

TH7 established bedrock at an acceptable depth of 5.7 feet, a minimal percolation rate of 23.3 minutes/inch was tested at this location. TH7 was measured at 103 feet from surface water. Recommendation: 1. Move the privy to TH7. Dario Mar[inez: Four test holes were excavated (see attachment). TH8 established ground water at 4.5 feet. TH9 established ground water at 2.5 feet. TH10 established ground water at 3.5 feet. THll established ground water at an acceptable depth of 4.7 feet, a minimal percolation rate of 4.5 minutes/inch was tested at this location. TH8 through THll all fail to meet the 100 foot minimum setback from surface water to privy. TH12 established a minimal percolation rate of 2.1 minutes/inch at a location on the hill behind the existing privy at a distance of 113 feet from surface water. Recommendation: 1. Move the privy to an area of 4.5 feet or greater depth to bedrock on the hillside and maintain the 100 feet minimum distance to surface water. The location will need to have a minimal percolation rate of 60.0 minutes/inch. Please contact us with any questions.

We recommend an MOA approved holding tank as the only viable option for protecting the ground and surface waters for the following reasons: At this site, the only leachfield is next to which would violate the space available for a conventional Bird Creek or other surface waters 100-foot setback requirement. o The soils are porous gravels. Our concern is that porous soils would transmit leachate readily to the waters of Bird Creek, particularly if the 100-foot setback to the surface waters is waived. Bird Creek is a fish spawning stream with high quality water which may be intolerant of teachate contaminants. Even if Whitlock's well is relocated, a conventional leachfield system would not provide the required lO0-foot setback to the well. Again, our concern is that porous soils may readily transmit contaminants to the well if the lO0-foot setback is not maintained.. For these reasons, and particularly for the protection of Bird Creek and water well quali5y, we do not recommend waivers and using a conventional leachfield. We recommend an MOA-approved holding tank. Municipality of An¢ November 3, 1994 Page 2 ,rage If there are any questions, please Sincerely, LCMF Limited Scott Hattenburg, Principal P.E.

Your existing water/wastewater system consists of a well and a conventional septic/leachfield system. We understand that the existing well is ±40 feet in depth and your existing wastewater disposal consists of a septic tank and approximately 20 feet of absorption trench.

The site on which you are located is between Bird Creek and the toe of the hill. See the attached sketches. After surveying the site again on September 27, 1994, we find that there is not no feasible location for a conventional septic system on the property due surface water, steep topography, and setback requirements. The only viable option which complies with current regulation is to: Install an approved 2,000 gallon holding tank complete withl alarms, and a maintenance agreement as show on the attached sketches.
