Box 196650 Anchorage, Alaska 99519-6650 Ref.' Septic System Upgrade for Tract D, Mink Creek S/D. Chugiak, Alaska RECIRCULATING UPFLOW FILTER (RUF) SYSTEM To whom it may concern: 1. GENERAL: The existing 4 bedroom home is served by a private septic system and well. The existing trench is failed (in groundwater) and must be upgraded prior to the sale of the house. The specifics regarding the design are summarized as follows: 2. SOIL CONDITIONS: Three test holes were excavated and two percolation tests were performed. Shallow groundwater was present in all of the test holes. In TH #2 groundwater was encountered at a depth of 2.5 feet, consequently, there is not 2 feet of unsaturated accepting soil in this general area. Test holes #1 & #3 barely have 2 feet of unsaturated accepting soil. In TH #1, at a depth of 3.5 and 4.0 feet, the percolation rate was 40 minutes/inch. In TH #3, at a depth of 3.0 and 3.5 feet, the percolation rate was 13.3 minutes/inch. Based upon our groundwater measurements, it appears that the drainfield must be uphill from TH #2 in order to ensure there is adequate unsaturated accepting soil. Given the location of the creek to the north, the protective well radius, and the soil/groundwater conditions, the septic system site is limited to an isolated area in the vicinity of TH #1 and TH #3. 3. I)RAINFIELD: The intent is to install a Recirculating Upflow Filter (RUF) system that will allow the useofa small drainfield in the area of TH #3. The size of the drainfield will be based upon the previously established criteria for the RUF systems, which dictates that soils percolating between 1 & 30 minutes/inch have an allowable application rate of 4 gpd/ft2, and soils percolating between 30 & 60 minutes/inch have an allowable application rate of 2 gpd/ft2. Given the perk rate of 13.3 minutes/inch, the 4 gpd/ft2 application rate would apply. We are proposing to install a 10 foot wide bed that is 20 feet long and has an effective depth of 6 inches. This corresponds 2 2 to an absorption area of 200 ft , or an application rate of 3 gpd/ft (assuming 600 gpd total flow). 4. ORENCO PACKAGE SYSTEM: The STEP tank with the trickling and upflow filters will be manufactured by Anchorage Tank & Welding to meet the latest design criteria established by Orenco Systems, Inc. The point of contact at Anchorage Tank is Lowell MeNutt. Since you are familiar with the operation of the system I won't elaborate. As with their standard STEP tank, it is equipped with a high water alarm per M.O.A requirements. 5. SURFACE WATER: There are no surface waters within 100 feet of the proposed upgrade. 6. TOPOGRAPHY: The entire lot slopes moderately downhill (less than 5%) from east to west. In short, there are no slope concerns. 7. SANITARY SEAL ON WELL: The existing sanitary seal on the well is no longer functional. As part of this project the contractor will be required to install a new sanitary seal and place the well wires in conduit. 8. CLOSING: Clearly, this property has numerous site restrictions which limit the potential for septic system upgrades. The only other viable options would be an intermittent sand filter, or a holding tank. The suitability of this design will be limited by the soil & groundwater conditions at the proposed bed site (groundwater conditions may vary). I am open to any suggestions from your department that would be an improvement to the proposed system. I am unaware of any negative impacts that this installation would impose on adjacent wells, or septic systems. If you have any questions, pl~iase call me a 337-6179, or 244-9612.

Continued operation like this will evemually result in failure of the upflow filter (tank fille~ with coarse sand) and the drainfield; therefore, identifying and correcting the problem is mandatory. We have designed and overseen the installation of approximately 20 of the RUF systems, using 3 different types of trickling filter media. Yours uses what is tem~ed "hanging mexth". There are approximately 5 units in operation which utili:,e the handing media, and to the best of my knowledge they are all perforating satisfactorily, yours being the exception. In short, we know that the technology works. This leads us to believe that there are unique factors to your situation that are causing the poor operation. In talking with Terry Bounds, at Orenco Systems, Inc., the developers of the RUF system technology, they expressed concern that the high concentration of hydrogen sulfide in your drinking water may be the cause of the problem. I know that the concentration is high enough to make the water smell bad, somewhat like rotten eggs, but I don't know quantitatively it is. I spoke with Fred Froehlich, Alaska Water Conditioning (345-1121) and asked him to contact you regarding the' possibility of installing a treatment system. Ideally he can measure the hydrogen sulfide concentration and then we can provide the data to Orenco Systems, Inc. If they conclude that hydrogen ~ sulfide is indeed a contributing factor to the operational problem, you should arrange to install a water treatment system.

Upon inspection it was concluded that the drainfield is operating with an excessively high liquid level. The following is an excerpt (information applicable to your lot) from a letter I sent to the Anchorage Tank and Welding, Inc. and the Municipality of Anchorage: Mink Creek, Tract D: This unit is the one which has not operated properly since the start. It was suspected by AWWC, Inc., and Orenco Systems, Inc. (Terry Bounds), that the poor potable water quality* might be contributing to the performance problem, so it was recommended that a water treatment system be installed (They needed one regardless because the drinking water was, ahnost unpalatable). The treatment trait was installed in late February of 1999. Since the sampling contract with the original owner (Mike Huesser) bad expired by that time, additiom sampling costs were now the responsibility of the buyer (Mr. & Mrs. Dan/els). I left sever~ messages with the Daniel's stressing the need to make arrangements for sampling to determin whether the RTF performance had improved. To the best of my knowledge they have yet to take any action. * Iron = 0.8 mg/l; Total Dissolved Solids ~ 370 mg/l: Hydrogen sulfide ~ 10 mg/l. This wa,. co~rveyed lo AWWC, [nc. by Fred Froelich with ,4laska Water Conditioning. it is my understanding that A+ Home services performed the quarterly inspections on the systerr throughout the first year of operation (July 98 through July 99). We did not get contacted by the Daniel's to perform the annual engineer inspection required by the MOA. The original owner (Mike Huesser) signed a contract with the MOA stating that he would arrange for an annual inspection of the system by an engineer. It is unknown whether he every provided the buyers with a copy of this signed/notarized contract. On 11/19/99, per my request, Susan Oswalt inspected the drainfield and discovered that it was completely submerged in liquid (15 inch liquid depth....anything over 6 inches is considered a technically failed drainfield). It is unknown whether the system is hydraulically overloaded 6901 Debarr Road, Suite 2-B * Anchorage, Alaska 99504 Ph: (907) 337-6179 * Fax: (907) 338-3246 * awws~a[aska.net Sent By: Alaska WateP & Wastewater Consu; 907 338 3246; Dec-14-99 13:54; Page 3/4 (plumbing leak in the house, excessive water usage, groundwater infiltration into the tank ot service line, excessive backwashing of the water treatment system ...... ). The draLmSeld may be clogged due to biomat formation, because of poorly treated effluent, or the result of physical plugging caused by particles in the potable water or the water treatment backwash waste. We are going to contact the homeowners this week to inform them of our findings and reco~jm~end that they retain us to evaluate the problem. Prior to contacting them it would be helpful ff I could get any data that A+ Home services noted during their quarterly inspections, such as pump timer settings, liquid levels in drainfield (a critical rneasurernent that should be done at each inspection), # pump cycles, pump operating times, and any observed plumbing leaks. This will help me to determine when the system began to surcharge/Ihil. The drainfield~ was dry when I was last on site in January of 1999. I will keep you posted on the status of this~ system and the recommended course of action if the homeowners retain AWWC, Inc. to[~ troubleshoot the problem. [~ It is my recommendation that you retain our services to evaluate the system and attempt to identify what is the source of the problem. It may be as simple as a plumbing leak or excessive backwashing of the water treatment system. AWWC, Inc. has been involved with the installation of approximately 30 of the recirculating trickling filter systems and only two of the systems are experience drainfield problems. One of these two systems bas a plumbing leak that has hydraulically overloaded the system in addition to over usage of water. Corrective action has been taken to fix the plumbing leak, and the number of occupants in the residence is now within design limits of the syste~r~ In short, the problems w/th tl~ system have been identified and are being corrected. This leaves only one of the approximately 30 units experiencing undefined operational problems, yours (Mink Creek, Tract D). A recommended course of action is as follows: Check to see if there are any plumbing leaks. If so, have them fixed. It might be a good idea to install a flow meter (they only cost about $100.00, plus installation charges) to monitor the total daily water usage. Set the backwash frequency on the water treatment system so that it is no more frequent then necessary to maintain water quality. · It would be preferable if the water treatment backwash water is discharged to a "drywell" rather than the septic system. This would require approval from the MOA onsite services, since it is technically a wastewater. This would eliminate introducing backwash sediments into the septic tank (where they may not settle out completely) and help reduce the hydraulic loading the dralnfield. · It may be necessary to pump the septic tank and verify that it is not taking on groundwater through leaking couplingsb · Minimize the usc of any chemicals/substances that could adversely impact that the septic system. Such substances include, but are not limited to, chlorine bleach, Drano, antibiotics (medications), cooking grease, cleaners, solvents ...... · Verify that the discharge pump and recirculation pump timers are adjusted and working properly. · It nmy be necessary to install a force air supply to the trickling filter (round manhole over the first compartment of the septic tank) in order to enhance the biological activity. 6901 Del>an- Road, Suite 2-B * Anchorage.

This data will tell us if the installation of the water treatment system has helped or if other corrective action is necessary.
