Re: Lot 2, Block 4, Northwoods SUbdivisi°n
Dear Gus:
Here is the package for the upgrade of the on-site system per your letter of
March 29, 1988.
I have included a curtain drain which will serve the purpose of keeping the
crawl space dry and ensuring that the water table does not raise closer than
four feet from tile bed bottom.
The old system is to be removed and replaced with silty sand or sand. This will
prevent surfacing of the water that would normally go into the rock.
The septic tank will have to be raised slightly to keep from installing a lift
station. Our field levels indicate this can be done
Please issue a permit for the upgrade of this system. If you have any question,
please let me know.
Sincerely,
Leroy C. Reid Jr.. PhD. PE

GENERAL
The drawings, sheets 1 through 4, shall be part of this specification.
A curtain drain is requried as part of this project. The specifications
and drawings covering the curtain drain are a part of these
specifications.
All materials and workmanship shall meet the requirements of the
Municipality of Anchorage, Department of Health & Human Services, (DHHS),
permit, and all applicable rules and regulations currently in effect.
All excavations and depths are advisory, and are to be verified or
modified in 'the field by the Engineer or inspecting agency.
It is the responsibility of the owner and installer to adhere to approved
design for the installation, to maintain the required separation
distances and to have the appropriate inspections.
If the installation is not inspected by an AECS engineer, AECS will not be
respoasible for the installed system. All engineer at AECS should be
consulted prior to construction, to determine the number of inspections
that will be required and to explain what these inspections will involve.
Septic Tank
The existing septic tank may be used, if it meets the capacity requirement
for the residence and the approval of DHHS. If not, then specifications
2.2 through 2.6 apply.
The septic tank shall be a UPC-Approved two-compartment tank~ constructed
of 12-gauge steel with bitumastic coating and set level on undisturbed
soil. If the tank is buried at a depth of 4 feet or ].ess, it must be
insulated with an overlying layer of 2 inch burial type polystyrene
rigid board insulation.
The septic tank shall be a minimum of 5 feet from the house foundation,
and a minimum of $ feet from the absorption area.
The septic tank and bed shall be a minimum of 100 feet from any private
well or body of water, 150 feet from Class C wells, and 200 feet from
Class A or B wells, unless otherwise specified. Less than 'the required

buried at a depth of 4 feet or less, it must be insulated with an
overlying layer of 2 inch burial type polystrene rigid board insulation.
Cleanouts shall be installed as designated and copped with air--tight rain
caps (Jim caps or equivalent), and extend a minimum of I foot above
ground level.
Seepage Bed
The sand shall have a size accordance with the Municipality of Anchorage
Regulations 15.65.077 A.3.
The gravel for the bed shall be 0.5 to 2.5 inch, screened rock with less
than 3% passing #200 sieve residual. All substitutes must have prior
DHHS approval.
The bottom of the excavation shall be level and raked with the backhoe
blade to insure that the bottom has not been compacted during excavation.
Equipment must not be driven on the excavated area.

Inspections
This bed will require a minimum of three inspections. The first
inspection will be of the open excavation, to assure that the system is
installed in the proper soil strata, correct depth and meet minimum
specified design parameters.
The second inspection will be performed after sand fill is installed,
but prior to placement of gravel and distribution pipes. This inspection
will verify that the filler is properly installed, that it meets
specifications and that it fulfills the intention of the design.
The third inspection will be after placement of gravel, monitor
standpipes, and distribution pipe, to verify proper installation and
position of pipes prior to backfill.
The inspection of the septic tank installation can be incorporated with
any one of the above listed inspections.

Attn: Robbie Robinson
Dear Robble:
It has co~e to my attention that in several instance we have
seen gas, ~ower or phone llnes lsid over a completed sewer
system, lecently, one of our clients was upgrading a system
~here the power co~pany had laid the power line over the bed
system and it was cut into. This is not the first instance
that this ha~ happened. I would teen, end that a letter be
seat .to the Ems, power and phone companys inttructing them
not to install their llnes over sewer lines. Last year when
they built the power line they cut through the insulation on
m bed.
There is a problem that I see occurint which I think needs
some addressing. I belleve that for the soils that ere
lower than 190 sq. ft. per bedroom (i,e. soils that aren't
adjusted upgrade) that beds are being designed with the
square foot equal to the number of square foot per bedroom
times the number of bedrooms. Appendix I page 81, I3 of the
UniformVlumblnE Code dated 1982 states as follows: 2)
'~-nere leaching beds are permitted in lieu of ~renches, the
area of each such bed should be at least 50 percent greater
than the tabular requirements for trenches."
It in =y o~inion that ~hen ever a bed is installed the soils
should not be adjusted per the Municipal Plan. ! recommend
the parc rate of the soils times the number of bedrooms
times 1.5. ! believe that if ~e stick to that we will have
beds that ~ren't ~nlng to fail in the near future,
Otherwise I have some serious reservations on the ability of
the smaller beds to continue serving over i long period of
time.
If you have imy problems in any of ,these items I would like
to discuss it.with you. Thank you for consideration.

Dear Mrs. Hanson:
It is hoped that the enclosed information will serve your needs.
We have included a copy of past Health Approvals, the soils test,
permit, engineers as-built and our findings and comments from the.
on-site study.
From these we can make the following conclusions: your lot is
situated so as to receive groundwater, from higher elevations, at
or near the surface. This results in periodic flooding of the
septic system during the high groundwater cycle between October'
and January. It is not possible at this time, however~ to determine
what measures need to be taken.
The shallow groundwater would require test wells to be drilled on
your property and then monitored through the high water cycle. Such
monitoring would also be required for upgrading of the system or
for any future Health Approvals.
We hope that this answers any questions you may have. Should you
need further clarification or help in upgrading your system please
call this office at (907) 264-4744.

Subject: Health Authority Approval'for' Lot-.2 Block 4
Northwoods Subdivision
Dear Lee:
This department has reviewed your submittal regarding a health
authority approval for the referenced property. Based on our
recent field trip to the site and our subsequent discussions,
we are prepared'to issue a conditional Health Authority Approval
with the following requirements: - ~
e
One additional ground water monitoring well must be
installed upgradie%t of the existing on-site system;
Monitoring for ground water level upgradient and down
gradient of the system must be conducted at least once
per month until June 30, 1988.
Based on the present readings from the ground water
monitoring well you recently installed, the bottom
elevation of the existing wastewater disposal system will
have to be raised a minimum of two feet. This condition is
necessary to assure that the required four foot separation
to seasonal high ground water is maintained.
The existing wastewater disposal system, if it can be
continued to be utilized, shall be increased in size a minimum
of 50 per cent in order to bring it into compliance~with
sizing requirements under the on-site ordinance. This work
shall be completed no later than July 31, 1988.

We believe the above conditions are commensurate with our~ verbal
agreement concerning this system. If you concur, we willi issue
a conditional Health Authority Approval upon application..

Re: Lot 2, Block 4, Northwoods Subdivision
Denial of Health Authority
Dear Mr. Hall:
On approximately January 13, 1988, my company requested a Health Authority
Approval for the subject property. On January 18, 1988 it was disapproved by
Dan Bolles as per the attached information. I have examined the supporting MOA
information presented and found it lacking. I have requested more supporting
information but it has not been supplied. Apparently, it is unavailable.
The monitoring well referenced in the MOA report is 156 feet from the system
monitoring tube. It is also 4.6 feet higher than the ground level at the system
monitoring tube. The house and the driveway lies between these points. The
system elevation at 89.1 feet. See sketch.
Our adequacy test shows the system is adequate for a 3 bedroom home. In
reviewing the record, I have noted that -the system is too small by one-third.
The system is undersized for long term operation. It has 630 sq.ft, instead of
the proper size of 900 sq.ft. The bed would work under normal loads but when
recurring peak loads or under prolonged overload the system can fill with water
and overflow. The prior owner of the home had a very large family (7 persons)
which would explain the high water levels in the overloaded, undersized
system.he MOA design was not correct because of a faulty decision that year on
how to design beds. A memo of July 19, 1983 pointed out the design error to
Robbie Robinson.
Ice in the standpipes at the ground level is not proof that a system has failed.
Between late December and early March there are warm periods which allow the
ice crystals in the standpipes to melt. It is just at or slightly above
freezing temperatures when this occurs. The melt water runs down the tube
walls. As the condensation reaches the part of the pipe that is under the snow
pack it cools and refreezes at or near the frozen ground. This cycle can
continue until there is a solid plug in the pipe. It appears that the system is
filled with water and frozen at the ground surface. If one is to use a bar, one
finds that this plug may be frozen 2 to 6 inches thick. It is suspended above
the system bottom but not near any water. I have seen this on many occasions,
over trenches and over beds. Only, rarely is evidence of high water seen. Most
failing systems are liquid at the ground surface as the water from the septic
tank is still quite warm. Ice plugs then do not exist. To nsc this plug alone
as bona fide evidence of system failure is faulty.
1200 LOesl 33rd Auenue. Suite B · Anchor,qe. Alaska 99503 e[907) 561-5040
On February 12, 1988 a monitor tube was placed to -9 feet at a location 14.8
feet down slope of the bed. The 1 inch PVC tube was slotted, then wrapped in
fine texture engineering cloth to keep out silt. A gravelly sand was placed
around the pipe to about 4 feet below ground level. Bentonite was mixed with
some of the sandy silt and packed around the pipe to the ground surface. It was
mounded and covered with Visqueen to prevent surface water from entering the
monitor hole.
The bottom of the system at the monitor tube was at an elevation of 89.1 feet
and the ground surface was at 91.8 feet. There is only 2.7 feet difference
between the top of the ground and the bottom of the system. The system bottom
was only slightly damp on February 12, 1988. A family had been in the house for
over a month when the test well was drilled. The water level under the system
bottom was -4.5 feet on the day drilled and -5 feet, one week later. The latest
monitoring was during the period when Anchorage had extremely warm weather. As
the soils over a shallow bed are warm, melt water would tend to flow into the
system. On would have expected the water level in the testhole to have risen.
See sketch.
The soils run by Oyster in 1983 is esssentially the same as experienced in 1988.
See soil logs.
Comments are made on the evidence supplied by Dan Bolles is attached and marked
in blue,ink. No substantive written evidence has been presented to support
denial of the Health Authority. I recommend that the Health Authority approval
be granted with the following conditions:
1. The system be enlarged to correct 'the permit design error.
2. The entire system be insulated with 2 inches of insulation or an
additional 1.3 feet of soil.
3. The monitor tube be left in place for future monitoring.
If you wish to explore other alternatives please let me know.
Sincerely,
Presig~nt
