REQUESTED

Messrs. Tim & Larry Jones
2809 E. 52nd Avenue
Anchorage, Alaska 99503
Subject: Lot 72, Campbell Creek Park Subdivision, Section 33, T. 13N., R.3W., S.M.
Dear Messrs. Jones
The Anchorage District Office (ADO) of the Department of Environmental Conservation has
been informed by the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA), Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) of the probability of a public water system operating on the above-
referenced property without the required operation approval (18 Alaska Administrative
Code (AAC) 80.100). Results of DHHS October 1990 sampling program reveals that the
surface water in the area could be contaminated by improperly treated human wastewater.
Aisc, from the information supplied by DHHS, it appears that there are two living units
(two single family residences) on Lot 72 being served by one source well. Any well
serving more than a single family residence but fewer than 25 persons (assuming two
persons per bedroom) is classified as a Class C Public Water System Source Well and
requires compliance with the Alaska Drinking Water Regulations, 18 AAC 80.100 (copy
enclosed).
Upon a review of the Department files, we are unable to locate any information on this
existing Class C Public Water System. If you have any information concerning any prior
approvals for this system, please assist us by providing this information. If on the
otherhand, this system has never received an operational approval, you will need to obtain
the services of a professional engineering firm to verify that the installation of the existing
public water system presently meets current regulations or met the appropriate regulations
at the time of installation.
In closing, I wish to emphasize the need for your prompt response to this request due to
the possible threat to public health in your neighborhood. We are requesting that the
above-requested information be submitted to this Department by May 13, 1991. If your
are unable to comply by this date, please contact me to discuss a schedule which can
be workable to all parties.
Thank you for your cooperation with this Department. Again, if you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Environmental Engineer

Re: Notice of Violation - Final Notice
Lot 72, Section 33, T13n, R3W
Dear Messers. Tim & Larry Jones:
On November 28, 1990 this office issued you a Notice of
Violation for the operation of an on-site wastewater disposal
system which is not in compliance with AMC 15.65. You were
given the opportunity to either connect to public sewer or
upgrade your deficient on-site system.
At the request of area residents, the Anchorage Water and
Wastewafer Utility (AWWU) developed a proposed plan and cost
estimate to bring public sewer to your neighborhood. The
proposed sewer exfension would have served your property.
However, on March 19 AWWU calculated all ballots and determined
that the neighborhood does not support extension of public
sewer. Since public sewer will not be an option for your lot,
the on-site system must be brought into compliance with
municipal ordinance. Accordingly, this letter will serve as
your final Notice of Violation.
By May 17, 1991 you must provide to this office, an
application for a permit to upgrade your on-site wastewater
disposal system. The application must be prepared and
submitted by a licensed civil engineer in accordance with
requirements of AMC 15.65.
By May 31, 1991 construction of the upgraded system must be
completed and an as-built inspection report prepared and
submitted to this office by a licensed civil engineer.
