Ref. Proposed Septic System for Hultquist Subdivision; Lot 4B
To whom it may concern:
The proposed 7 bedroom house will be served by a private well and septic system. Two test
holes where dug on the property. The drainfield will be designed around the 30 foot radii of these
test holes. We are proposing that a 2000 gallon septic tank and a deep trench type drainfield be
installed. Comments regarding the design are summarized as follows:
1. SOILS: See the attached log which shows the soil classifications, groundwater monitoring,
and the percolation test results. It is our opinion that due to the overall appearance of the soils, an
application rate of 1.2 gallons/day/ft should be used.
2. TRENCH DESIGN:
a. Percolation Rate: <I minutes/inch
b. Proposed Application Rate: 1.2 gallons/day/f2
c. Number of Bedrooms: 7
d. Design Flow: 1050 gallons per day
e. Minimum Absorption Area: 875 ft
f. Total Depth: 10 feet (max.)
g. Effective Depth: 6 feet
h. Width: 2.5 feet
i. Reduction Factor: N/A
j. Minimum Length: 75 feet long total
k. Effective absorption area = 900 ft2
3. SURFACE WATERS: There are no surface waters within 100+ feet of the proposed septic
system.
3701 E. Tudor Road, Suite 101 • Anchorage, AK 99507
Ph: (907) 337-6179 • Fax: (907) 338-3246 " Website: garnessengineering.com
4. TOPOGRAPHY: The average topography in the area of the proposed drainfield is relatively
flat. In short, there are no slope concerns.
I am unaware of any adverse impacts this installation would have on adjacent wells or septic
systems. If you have any questions, please contact us at 337-6179. Thank you for your
assistance.
M.S.
NOTE: Attached is a site plan drawing, a design drawing, a topography site plan, a soils log,
and a 7 page construction specification letter which are all part of the design package for this
septic system.

III. RESPONSIBILITIES:
r Property Owner Responsibilities:
1. CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP: The property owner shall contract with the contractor to
perform the work outlined in these specifications and plans, in accordance with the attached DSD permit.
There is no contractual relationship between the contractor and the engineer. The engineer shall inspect
the work, as required by DSD, so as to document the installation. Final acceptance of the contractor's work
rests with the owner and the DSD.
2. SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ONLY: This well and/or septic system design is for a single
family residence only. The homeowner is responsible for notifying the engineer if the residence is used as
a duplex, business, or multi -family dwelling. In such cases, the installation permit must be obtained from
the State of Alaska, Department of Environmental Conservation.
3. DISCLAIMER REGARDING AS -BUILT SURVEY: The validity of the design site plan is
limited by the accuracy of the as -built survey provided to the engineer by the property owner or his/her
representative. The property owner shall notify the engineer regarding any known inaccuracies associated
with the as -built survey. The engineer assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of the survey.
4. UNPLATTED EASEMENTS: The property owner is responsible for notifying the engineer
and the contractor of any unplatted easements, not shown on the as -built survey, which the new well or
septic system may encroach into. Such easements are typically identified in the property title report.
5. DISCLOSURE OF SITE CONDITIONS: The property owner shall notify the engineer and the
contractor of any seasonal groundwater or surface water runoff conditions known to him/her which could
potentially effect the operation of the septic system The proposed septic system must be at least 100 feet
from any streams, ponds, creeks, swamps, bogs, or any other surface water as defined by the DSD. This
Page 1 of 7
GEG, Ltd., Year 2004
disclosure is of particular significance when the site evaluation and design work is being done during the
winter months when surface waters are frozen and there is snow cover.
The property owner shall notify the engineer and the contractor of any known subsurface conditions that
would prohibit or restrict the installation of the septic system. Items of concern would include, but are not
limited to buried piles of construction debris, undocumented septic systems, areas which consist primarily
of fill (imported) soil, subsurface drainage systems, & abandoned wells.
6. DRINKING WATER WELLS: The property owner is responsible for notifying the engineer
if, to his/her knowledge, any of the adjacent properties are used as a duplex, business, or multifamily
dwelling. The new septic tank and leachfield must be at least 100 feet from any private well, 150 feet from
any class "C" well, and 200 feet from any class "A" or "B" well, unless appropriatewaivers are obtained.
Furthermore, the property owner shall notify the engineer of any undocumented or abandoned wells,
known to him or her, that are located on the subject or adjacent properties.
7. CURTAIN DRAINS: The new drainfield must be at least 20 feet down gradient and 50 feet
upgradient from any subsurface drains. This includes foundation drains. The property owner should notify
the engineer of any such drains that are not shown on the design drawings for this installation.
8. POST CONSTRUCTION SITE RESTORATION: Unless specifically agreed upon otherwise,
the property owner is responsible for final grading of the areas, which settle after construction. Prior to
awarding the contract, the homeowner should communicate to the contractor any expectations regarding,
but not limited to post construction site clean up, re -landscaping, and restoration of any asphalt, fences,
trees, decks, ect. that are effected by the construction. All mound type drainfields are required by the MOA
to be re -vegetated. The property owner is responsible for this work unless other arrangements are made
with the contractor.
If the property is being sold, the property owner shall ensure that the aforementioned items are addressed
with the buyer, and, if the work is to be completed after the sale of the property, that necessary funds are
escrowed to fund the completion of the work
9. PROPERTY OWNER INSTALLATION OF SEPTIC SYSTEM: If the property owner intends
to install the septic system he/she must first have obtained approval from the Municipality of Anchorage,
DSD (343-7904). Homeowner installations typically require more time for engineer inspections. The
homeowner should discuss the additional costs associated with such inspections with the engineer prior to
starting the project.
10. ENGINEER CHARGES TO INSPECT THE INSTALLATION: The property owner is
responsible for payment of all the engineer inspection charges. These charges are in addition to the soils
testing and design work that was required to obtain the MOA sewer/well permit. The number of
inspections will vary depending on the actual field conditions encountered and the construction methods
used. If there are any questions by the property owner, or his/her representative, regarding charges for
installation inspections they should be discussed prior to beginning construction. GEG, Ltd. will provide
you with a written copy of the fee schedule.
11. CHANGES IN THE SCOPE OF WORK: See Section V, "Disclaimers" regarding design
changes. See "Contractor Responsibilities", paragraphs 1, 2, & 13. In addition, see "Engineer
Responsibilities", paragraphs 2, 4, & 5.
• Contractor Responsibilities:
1. PRE -CONSTRUCTION LAYOUT: The contractor is responsible for locating all buried
utilities, easements, property lines, surface water setbacks, well radii, and water service lines which may be
encroached upon by the proposed septic system The contractor shall ensure that all setbacks are flagged
by a registered land surveyor, or other appropriate means, prior to construction. GEG, Ltd. field
engineers/inspectors will not be responsible for establishing or confirming any of the aforementioned
setbacks.
contractor should recognize that the location of all wells, surface waters, structures, and other td
m on the design drawings are typically derived from as -built surveys, and municipal records. The
surveys and municipal records (prepared by professional engineers & land surveyors) have b
ned to be accurate for purposes of this design; however, the accuracy has poI necessarily been f
Page 2 of 7
GEG, Ltd., Year 2004
Prior to beginning any construction the contractor shall field locate all items which h
,e setbacks and verify that there are no encroachment concerns. Any encroachments, for wl
have not been granted, should immediately be brought to the attention of the property owner
The test hole pipes shall not be removed/abandoned until after the engineer has established their location
relative the new drainfield during the fast inspection of the drainfield installation or during the pre -
construction layout. The new drainfield/s must be within a 30 foot radius of the test hole/s used for
establishing the design criteria.
The contractor should establish the elevation of all existing and proposed system components prior to
starting construction so as to insure that the necessary grades can be maintained. This is particularly
significant when the elevation of the existing system components is unknown because clean -outs are not
present, buried, or non-functional (can't measure down them because of obstructions). It is recognized that
conditions can be discovered that will materially change the design and the construction costs.
2. DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN DESIGN DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS:
Construction shall be in accordance with the approved site plan and design drawings, and any special
provisions noted on the municipal sewer permit. The contractor is responsible for notifying the engineer of
any discrepancies noted on the design plans or drawings, prior to starting work.
3. CHECK GROUNDWATER LEVELS IN TEST HOLE MONITORING TUBES: Prior to
beginning construction, the contractor shall check the liquid level in the test hole monitoring tubes to
ensure that there has been no change in the groundwater levels that would impact the proposed design.
Any rise in the liquid level should be brought to the attention of the engineer so that design changes can be
made if necessary.
4. MAXIMUM DEPTH OF DRAINFIELDS: The maximum depth of the drainfield is shown on
the design drawings or is noted in the narrative portion of the design package. The contractor shall notify
the engineer of any inconsistencies noted in the design package.
purposes of this installation, the maximum depth of the drainfield will be based upon takin;
curement at the deepest part of the excavation between the highest ground elevation encounte
ally on the uphill side of the excavation) and the bottom of the trench or bed excavation. '
ractor shall exercise caution not to remove evidence of the original grade prior to establishment of
system depth. In short, don't remove the organic layer until after the original grade elevations
5. SUITABILITY OF MATERIALS USED FOR CONSTRUCTION. The contractor shall
ensure that all materials being used are in compliance with the most current guidelines established by the
Municipality of Anchorage. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
a. Drainrock
b. Sand filter material for conventional beds, trenches, or mound systems.
c. Sand filter material and pea gravel for Intermittent Sand Filters (ISF).
d. Anchorage Sand and Gravel (AS&G) `block pea" material for Upflow Filters.
It is recommended that the contractor provide the engineer with current sieve analysis' from the sand/gravel
supplier to document the suitability of the material. The engineer assumes no responsibility for ensuring
that the materials delivered meet the MOA requirements.
6. BURIAL RATING OF TANKS: The contractor shall ensure that the septic tank, lift station, or
holding tank purchased has a burial depth rating suitable for the actual installation.
7. SEPTIC TANK AND STEP TANK SIZES: Prior to purchasing a septic tank or lift station the
contractor shall verify that it is adequately sized for the number of bedrooms shown on the permit issued by
MOA. The minimum septic tank size is 1000 gallons and the minimum STEP tank size is 1250 gallons.
These size tanks will handle residences with up to 3 bedrooms. For each additional bedroom over three (3)
the septic tank or the STEP tank volume shall be increased by a minimum of 250 gallons. For example, a
four (4) bedroom residence must have a 1250 gallon septic tank or a 1500 gallon STEP tank.

GEG, Ltd., Year 2004
8. INSPECTIONS - ENGINEER NOTIFICATION: The contractor shall notify the engineer at
least 24 hours prior to starting construction. If deemed necessary, a pre -construction site visit shall take
place. The contractor shall coordinate with the engineer any inspections which will be required during
weekends, holidays, or before/after normal working hours (8:00 am to 5:00 PM). The property owner may
incur additional charges for inspections, which do not occur during normal business hours. It is the
contractor's responsibility to notify the engineer a least 2 hours prior to any inspection.
9. REGULATORY NON-COMPLIANCE. The contractor shall report to the engineer and the
property owner any observed condition which would put the septic system in violation of State or
Municipal regulations.
10. BACKFILL OLD TEST HOLES: Any remaining test hole excavations shall be filled and
mounded as part of this project. Unless instructed otherwise by the engineer, the old test hole groundwater
monitoring pipes shall be removed.
11. FINAL GRADING FOR DRAINAGE: The contractor is responsible for final grading so as
to ensure that surface runoff does not adversely effect the septic system constructed, adjacent septic
systems, or adjacent structures.
12. SOIL COVER REQUIREMENTS: The contractor shall ensure that the final cover over the
tank and drainfield is either compacted adequately when backfilling, or mounded sufficiently to ensure that
there is adequate soil cover over the tank and drainfield after settlement occurs. If seasonal conditions
prevent this, the property owner (or his representative) shall be notified that additional fill may be required
after settlement occurs. This notification is of extra significance when the property is changing ownership.
13. CHANGES IN CONSTRUCTION COSTS: The contractor is responsible for obtaining
approval from the property owner for any additional construction costs associated with design
modifications or changing field conditions prior to doing the work.
14. WORKING IN RIGHT-OF-WAYS AND TRESPASSING PRIVATE PROPERTY: The
contractor is responsible for coordinating (including payment of encroachment permit fees) all access
through public and private properties with the appropriate authorities and/or property owners. Furthermore,
the contractor shall inform all parties of any potential impacts to adjacent properties prior to beginning any
construction.
15. MAINTENANCE & OPERATIONS MANUALS: The contractor shall provide the
homeowner with the manufacturer's installation/maintenance manuals for all system components installed
under this contract. If not given directly to the property owner, the manuals should be enclosed in a
protective cover (plastic bag) and placed/secured in a prominent location so the property owner can find it.
16. INNOVATIVE SEPTIC SYSTEMS. START-UP INSPECTIONS: The contractor shall
notify Anchorage Tank & Welding Company (272-3543) after the installation of an Intermittent Sand Filter
kit or Advantex system (supplied by Anchorage Tank) is installed so that the appropriate start-up inspection
can be scheduled. This notification also activates the quarterly maintenance schedule. Such notification is
usually not required for BioCycle installations since 'BioCycle of Alaska" is typically involved with the
installation. The contractor shall contact BioCycle of Alaska (283-9003) regarding any start-up notification
requirements.
• Well Driller Responsibilities:
1. The well driller shall ensure that he has a well permit in possession prior to drilling the well.
2. The well driller shall physically verify that the there are no septic systems, or other potential
sources of contamination, within the protective radius of the proposed well prior to drilling it.
• Engineer Responsibilities:
1. SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION: The engineer is responsible for inspecting the installation of
the septic system and preparing as -built documentation, to the satisfaction of the M.O.A.. Inspections are
performed as necessary to document the construction of the system to the satisfaction of the M.O.A. In all
cases, inspections shall be performed as necessary to establish the following:
• The original grades at the drainfield/s site
• The bottom of all trench/bed excavation
• Top of sand on all sand filters
• Top of drainpipe
Page 4 of 7
GEG, Ltd., Year 2004
* Septic tank, or lift station, or holding tank prior to backfill
• Placement of filter fabric and insulation
• After final grading is completed
2. LIMITED AUTHORITY: The inspecting engineer has no direct authority over the contractors
activities or construction/safety practices. Should the engineer identify conditions which dictate a design
change, he or she will recommend that work be stopped, and/or the design be modified. If design
modifications are necessary, the engineer shall notify the property owner or his/her representative. The
inspecting engineer does not have the authority to direct the contractor to modify the system design in such
a way that it would be in violation of State or MOA regulations.
3. SEPTIC TANK INTEGRITY: The engineer shall inspect the condition of the existing septic
tank and determining its suitability for re -use. If the engineer determines the septic tank to be structurally
unsound, it must be replaced.
4. COORDINATION OF DESIGN CHANGES WITH THE MOA: If design changes are
necessary, the engineer will coordinate the approval of the changes with the MOA. The contractor does not
have the authority to proceed with any design modifications until verbal or written approval is obtained
from the MOA.
S. COORDINATION OF WAIVERS: If, during construction, it is determined that a waiver will
be required in order to install the system as designed, the engineer will apply for the necessary waiver/s to
the appropriate State or MOA regulatory bodies. The engineering services and State/MOA fees associated
with such waivers will be additional charges to the property owner, over and above the installation
inspection fees charged by GEG, Ltd.
SECTIONIV. CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES.
Construction shall be in accordance with the approved site plan and design drawings and any special
provisions noted on the municipal well and/or sewer permit. All materials, components, workmanship, and
construction practices shall comply with the Municipality of Anchorage's latest ordinances regarding wells
and septic systems, as well as DSD policies. The failure of the inspecting engineer to notice a material or
construction non-compliance does not relieve the contractor of his/her responsibility to correct such a
deficiency.
f Septic Tank, Holding Tank, or Lift Station Installation:
1. The burial rating of the tank shall be adequate for the actual burial depth encountered.
2. The tank shall be level and sufficiently bedded to prevent settling or shifting of the tank.
3. All standpipes on the tank shall extend a minimum of 12 inches above final grade.
4. Tanks installed with less than 4 feet of cover shall be insulated. See "Contractor Responsibilities",
paragraph 12 regarding final soil cover.
5. The sewer service line from the house to the tank shall be sloped a minimum of 1/4"
per foot, unless prior approval is obtained from the engineer.
6. The inlet and outlet lines from the tank shall be bedded in drainrock or the soil shall be adequately
compacted to prevent future settlement of the soil.
7. A foundation clean out will be installed (14 feet from the house) if one does not currently exist.
8. Post tank clean -outs shall be installed per MOA requirements. Does not apply to holding tanks or lift
stations with pressurized lines.
9. In high groundwater areas, all tanks shall be anchored to resist buoyancy forces when there is not
adequate soil cover to resist the uplift force. The engineer shall make this determination.
10. The final soil cover shall be graded so that there is positive drainage away from tank.
11. All holding tanks and lift stations shall have an audible and visible alarm inside the residence.
12. All lift stations shall be wired in compliance with all MOA guidelines and the Uniform Electrical
Code. A municipal electrical permit and inspections must be obtained in areas where required by
the Municipality of Anchorage.
13. The contractor shall remove the old tank, or abandon it in compliance with the Uniform Plumbing
Code (UPC). The contractor is solely responsible for the abandonment procedure.
Page 5 of 7
GEG, Ltd., Year 2004
14. ISF AND ADVANTEX INSTALLATIONS: The control panel for the Intermittent Sand Filter and
Advantex systems shall be located outside the residence, for easy access during inspections. A
remote alarm must be installed inside the residence as per DSD requirements. Mounting the
panel directly to an exterior wood wall should be avoided because the closing of the relays creates
a "clanking" noise that may be offensive to the property owners.
15. ISF INSTALLATIONS: The air compressor shall be equipped with 0 to 10 psi gauge for the purpose
of monitoring air flow to the sand filter. The pressure gauge will be located so that it is easily
monitored by the property owner.
► Installation of Conventional Absorption Bed & Trenches:
1. Excavate the proposed bed/trench to the dimensions shown on the design. The bottom of the excavation
shall be within 2 inches of level (2 inch maximum variation between high and low spots). If the sidewalls
or bottom of the excavation become smeared, they must be raked or scarified before placement of the filter
sand or drainrock.
2. The trench or bed should be at least 5 feet from the test hole excavation.
3. All soil tests and excavation depths are advisory to the design and are to be verified in the field by the
engineer. If design changes are necessary, and the changes effect the contractor charges to the property
owner, the contractor shall obtain approval from the property owner prior to proceeding with the work.
4. Once the drainrock is installed, the distribution pipe is to be placed level (0.02 feet difference between
high and low shots) with the perforations faced downward. Draimock is then to be placed over the
distribution pipe, to provide a minimum of 2 inches of cover over the pipe. The drainrock shall not be
pyramided over the drainpipe but shall be the same elevation over the entire trench/bed width.
5. A silt barrier must be installed between the final drainrock layer and the native soil backfill. The silt
barrier shall cover the entire drainrock surface.
6. Monitor tubes shall be installed at the locations shown on the design drawings, and extend a minimum
of 12 inches above final grade. The portion of the monitoring tube extending through the drainrock shall be
perforated from the bottom of the trench/bed to the invert of the distribution pipe.
7. Backfill over the final drainrock layer must not be less than 2 feet. Insulation must be installed when the
backfill depth is less than 3 feet. The insulation shall cover the entire width of the trench/bed. the
contractor shall "shoot" the final grades to ensure cover depth is adequate, prior to notifying the engineer
that the work is complete. The final cover over the drainfield must graded so that there is no potential for
water to pond over the trench/drainfield. See "Contractor Responsibilities", paragraph 12 regarding final
soil cover.
8. If an alternator valve was installed with this design the contractor shall provide a functional valve key to
the property owner.

SECTION V. DISCLAIMERS
UNFORESEEABLE SITE CONDITIONS: The design of this septic system, prepared by GEG, Ltd.,
was based upon a limited evaluation of the soil, groundwater, and site conditions. The extent of the
evaluation is consistent with standard engineering practice in the field. Furthermore, this design was
evaluated and approved by the engineers or technicians on staff at the Municipality of Anchorage,
DSD, based upon the information provided to them Occasionally, during construction, unforeseeable
subsurface conditions (high groundwater, poor soils, buried debris,....) are encountered that make the
proposed installation not feasible. In such cases it is typically necessary to do more soils testing,
groundwater monitoring, and design work. These additional engineering services will be performed on
a fee basis at an hourly rate. GEG, Ltd. will obtain verbal authorization from the property owner (or
his/her representative) prior to proceeding with the work, and will provide :a written estimate if
requested. The property owner should discuss with the contractor any changes in the installation cost
associated with the design changes.
IF THE PROPERTY BEING SOLD AND FUNDS ESCROWED FOR THE UPGRADE, it is
important to bear in mind that the ability to upgrade the septic system on this property is not 100%
certain (for the reasons stated in the previous paragraph). There is always the possibility that
Page 6 of 7
GEG, Ltd., Year 1004
conditions could be encountered that would prevent the installation of anything other than a holding
tank. Although such a situation would be rare, it is important that all parties recognize that such a
scenario is possible.
SEPTIC SYSTEM PERFORMANCE: The design of this septic system is based upon limited soils
testing, groundwater monitoring, and a visual assessment. It is possible that the actual soil conditions
are less favorable then the testing data indicated and that adverse, unforeseeable, changes in the
surface/subsurface water conditions could impact the performance of the system. Numerous other
factors, out of the control GEG, Ltd., may adversely effect the long term performance of the system.
Such factors include, but are not limited to, excessive number of residents in the house, plumbing
leaks, the use of septic system additives, failure to pump septic tank regularly, failure to alternate
drainfields (when this is an option), or/and excessive use of water. Given these variables, it is not
possible to warrantee the performance of a septic system
By proceeding forward with this installation, the Engineer, Well Driller, Contractor, and Property
Owner agree that they have read these specifications and agree to accept the terms and conditions
outlined in them
A final invoice will be issued once all work is complete for
inspections and documentation as required by the M.O.A.
Please refer to the following estimated inspection costs:
1. Conventional septic system with a single trench/bed, no sand filter: $700.00
2. Conventional septic system with a single trenchlbed, sand filter: $800.00
3. Conventional septic system, dual trenches, no sand filter: $900.00
4. Conventional septic system, dual trenches, sand filters: $1000.00
5. Alternative Technology septic systems: $1000.00
6. Lined Intermittent Sand Filter with secondary drainfield : $1500.00
