District Engineer State of Alaska Dept. of Environmental Conservation Anchorage District Office 555 Cordova Street Anchorage, Alaska 99501 June 13, 1997 Subject: Waiver Class C Well to On Site Wastewater Disposal System: Lot 7, Jewel Lake Heights Gentlemen; The owner of Lot 7, Mr. Marvin Hawthorn, has attempted for several years to obtain a permit to develop his lot. His effort has been in the direction of obtaining a Municipal permit for a well and septic system. The Municipality has been unable to grant the waiver required to locate both a well and a septic system on Lot 7. Lot 6A was developed in 1976. A recorded document filed in 1973 obligated the developer/owner of Lot 6 to provide domestic water to Lot 7, whenever it became required. This requirement will classify the well on lot 6A as a class C well. The septic system on Lot 6A seems to have been installed with this in mind. 1 have included information on this septic system and the reported soil conditions. Mr. Hathhom is looking at obtaining water from the well on Lot 6A. This will require a waiver from ADEC since the separation distances have changed since 1973. Mr. Hathhorn intends to install a Bottomless Intermittent Sand Filter. The ISF has been shown to continuously treat the wastewater to better than secondary treatment requirements. Local performance data of this system should be on file with ADEC. The site specific soil conditions has not been verified, but information from the adjoining lots strongly indicates that sand and gravels overlaid by several feet of silty sand, or silt, will be present. The attached siteplan shows the proposed location of the ISF as well as the location of the wells on the adjoining properties. Yours Tobben Spurkland P.E. DEPT.

Dear Mr. Spurkland: This letter is in response to the information received in this office June 16, 1997, requesting a waiver from the required horizontal separation distance between a Class "C" public water source and a wastewater disposal system. The Department has completed its review of the submitted information which included a brief cover letter, soils log, well log, proposed site plan, and a copy of an easement for water service to Lot 7 from Lot 6 Jewel Lake Heights Subdivision. Based upon this review it appears that the lesser separation distance to the proposed wastewater disposal system should have minimal contamination potential on the existing well. However, the Department has the following comments before further review and/or approval of the requested waiver: A review of this office's files failed to provide verification that the existing water system on Lot 6A was approved. If there is a health authority approval for this water system a copy should be forwarded to this office. A capability assessment of the existing well on Lot 6A will need to be submitted to this office verifying that the water system can meet the demand requirements of a class "C" public water system. Thank you for your cooperation with this Department, if there are any questions regarding the above please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, Michael Lu, E.I.T.

Dear Mr. Spurkland: This letter is in response to the information received in this office September 16, 1997, addressing this office's comments concerning a waiver from the required horizontal separation distance between a Class "C" public water source and a wastewater disposal system. The Department has completed its review of the submitted information which included a brief cover letter, and copies of previous health authority approvals from Lot 6A concerning well and septic capacity. Based upon this review it appears that the previous concerns regarding well production and approval have been adequately addressed. Therefore, for the concerns of this Department a waiver granting a lesser separation distance and connection to the well on lot 6A Jewel Lake Heights is approved subject to the following conditions: Design calculations based upon a recent flow test showing that adequate storage capacity is available to meet peak demand requirements for both residences. This water system has been assigned the following public water system identification number 218547. Please reference this number when submitting future water samples so that this system maybe properly credited. Please submit a contact name, address, and telephone number of the person(s) responsible for operating this water system. In accordance with 18 AAC 80.800 lead-free pipe, solder and flux are to be used in the c¢,nstruction of this water system. As-built drawings under the stamp ofa Pr3fessional Engineer (P.E.) of the completed water system will need to be submitted to this office within 90 days of completion. Attached is a Construction and Operation Certificate for Public Water Systems with the Approval to Construct section completed verifying this Department's approval. Operation approval of this class "C" public water system will be granted when the above conditions are satisfied.

Total area required: 37.5 x 4 = 150 sq.ft. Area of Sand Filter: 10 X 36 = 360 sqft AMC Chapter 15.65 requires that a replacement site be identified for the absorption system. Such a replacement site has been shown, though it is unlikely that a replacement site will be needed. A failure of a bottomless sand filter may happen if the air supply fails. In that case a biomat may develop on top of the sand. If so, the filter will have to be repaired by repairing/replacing the air supply and replacing the top layer of sand. A biomat will not form at the interface between the sand filter and the natural sand. The size of the "replacement" drainfield is based on acceptable soil between 5 and 9 feet. Total length of the drainfield is 150/8 = 18.75 ft. The installation of this septic system will not prevent wells from being installed on the adjacent lots. There are no developed or natural surface / sub surface drainage courses on this or the adjacent lots. The proposed septic system will not change the general slope of the area. Ponding and/or concentration of surface runoff will not result from this installation.

Proposed Septic System, AWPSA Project No. 9721-WV-167-049. Dear Mr. Spurkland: This letter is in response to the information received in this office January 30, 1998, concerning a previously issued waiver granting a lesser horizontal separation distance between a class "C" well and a proposed on-site wastewater disposal system. The Department has completed its review of the submitted information which included a brief cover letter, and a proposed design of an on-site wastewater disposal system employing an intermittent sand filter. Based upon this review and previous information on file, the Department has the following comments in addition to those previously stated regarding this waiver in accordance with State Drinking Water Regulations (18 AAC 80.030): 1. Verification of the local groundwater gradient, depth of the shallow groundwater relative to the surface level of Jewel Lake. The local (shallow) groundwater gradient is assumed to be in the direction of Jewel Lake which is away from the well. A minimum separation distance of 60 feet must be maintained between the well on Lot 6A Jewel Lake Heights and the proposed septic tank for the on- site wastewater disposal system on Lot 7. The septic tank will need to be placed within an impermeable iiner with a nominal thickness of 25 mil. A minimum separation distance of 75 feet must be maintained between the soil absorption system and the class C well on Lot 6A. The issuance of a waiver significantly less than the separation distances outlined under the regulations (18 AAC 80.030, 18 AAC 72.015) is not taken lightly by this Department. Jewel Lake is classified as an impacted water body, therefore, additional treatment of the septic effluent to remove suspended solids, nitrate, and bacteria prior to a subsurface discharge should be considered. A lesser separation distance than what is outlined above in condition number three may be considered if an on-site wastewater disposal system capable of providing additional treatment such as a trickling filter and intermittent sand filter with a final discharge into a soil absorption system is implemented. Thank you for your cooperation with this Department, if there are any questions regarding the above please do not hesitate to call.

The purpose of a survey at this point is to establish the mean annual high water mark of Jewel Lake. This survey only locates an 'approximate shoreline' which is further explained in the Legend as ".. approximate due to snow cover at the time of this survey." In order to determine the mean annual high water mark of Jewel Lake, a survey must be conducted after the ice has receded from the shoreline, preferably in May or June.
