Septic Tank Upgrade Permit Request
This is a design narrative for a permit to install a 1250-gallon septic tank to replace an existing 1250-gallon septic
tank to be issued for this property. The existing tank is 39 years old and is likely perforated and leaking, it will be
removed and replaced per code. Currently the lot is developed. The proposed replacement will be connected to the
existing drain field. This lot and the surrounding lots are served by private wells. There are currently no wells within
100’ of this upgrade.
1. Upgrade Tank Design
The tank will be located: 5’+ from any property line.
5’+ from any deck/stair support.
10’ from any building foundation OR outside of soil bearing prism.
10’+ from any water line.
100’+ from any surface water.
100’+ from any private wells.
200’+ from any public wells.
The proposed installation will not affect the future development of this or the surrounding lots.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at (907) 745-8200.
Sincerely,
SRP

Subject: Lot 2 Block K Knik Heights Subdivision
Drainage Ditch Along Ridgewood Circle
You have requested a waiver of the 100 foot separation distance requirement
between your septic system and the drainage course in Knik Heights.
The Alaska State Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) has defined
"surface water" (a water body requiring a 100 foot setback to septic systems
as stipulated in 18 AAC 72.021 (e)) as any water "which is not directly
attributable to a rainfall or snowmelt event." The Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) has made the determination, based on observations made
during the spring of this year, that the Knik Heights drainage is not a "surface
water" requiring a 100 foot separation to a septic system. Although there is
a substantial runoff flow occurring during the "breakup" period in this
drainage course, the runoff period was confined to a three or four week
period. It is the opinion of this department that this runoff was directly
attributable to a "snowmelt event." Therefore, by the ADEC definition, the
Knik Heights ditch does not constitute a stream requiring the 100 foot
setback stipulated in 18 AAC 72~,021 (e). A waiver is therefore not required
in your case.
It should be emphasized that this determination was made from recent
observations. If conditions in the drainage basin should change, contributing
to a more extended period of flow in this drainage, this determination may
change.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sharma:
Regarding your request for a waiver from the distance
requirements between your septic system and the proposed
drainage course in Knik Heights, I recommend you contact
Ken Lauzen, Department of Health and Human Services
(264-4720), for further information.
I am sending a copy of your letter to him, so he will be
expecting to hear from you.
I do hope the proposed solution solves the drainage problems
which have occurred.

This letter concerns Paragraph #3, Page 2 of your letter dated Narch 19, 1986,
to Senator Jan Faiks, copy attached, regarding the Knik Heights Subdivision
drainage problem.
Our home is. located on Lot 2, Block K of the subdivision. As per your above
referenced letter, we should be able to get appropriate waivers in connection
with septic separation distances from the proposed drainage for our property.
We would like to know who to contact in order to get these necessary waivers.
Your assistance in this matter is much appreciated.

MA Y OI:]
: Knik Heights Subdivision
Dear S~'~s:
For some time now, the Municipality has been working with property
owners in the Knik Heights area, the developer of an adjacent
subdivision, and officials with the state Department of Environmental
Conservation in an attempt to solve a potential drainage problem
in a manner which also avoids conflict with on-site septic systems
in the area. In the course of our efforts, we have evaluated past
and present site conditions and legal authorities which can be
utilized to help correct the present situation. A few background
facts may be helpful.
The Knik Heights Subdivision was originally platted in 1958. Today,
homes exist within an area which has been well documented to be
the headwaters of Furrow Creek. Examining topography, drainage
patterns and past information about the area, there can be little
doubt that water flow impacted the lots in question, at least
periodically, long before homes were constructed there. Moreover,
while adjacent uphill development (such as the McCabe Subdivision)
can cause some alteration in drainage flow, documentation demonstrates
that any effect has been minimal. However, the point is that there
is an apparent problem today for several homeowners, and the
Municipality wishes to take appropriate steps to help solve that
problem.
Our authorities are limited. The area in question lies outside
the boundaries of the Anchorage Road and Drainage Service Area (ARDSA)
and is not included within a Limited Road Service Area (LRSA). Thus,
by both state law and municipal charter, we are precluded from
expending municipal funds Or taking other direct action. Through
our codes, the Municipality does have areawide authority concerning
private development, and we always have the ability to work with
responsible st:ate agencies (such as DEC).
To that end, we have taken several steps. Last fall, the Municipality
had helped arrange an agreement between the affected property owners
Sen. Jan Faika
Page Two
in Knik Heights and the developer of McCabe Subdivision whereby
the developer would construct additional drainage improvements
designed to channel water in a manner designed to avoid any future
flooding problems. Unfortunately, the newly-constructed ditch would
have created a watercourse resulting in a violation of separation
distances for several on-site septic systems in the subdivision,
and creating a potential health hazard. It seemed as if we were
between a rock and a hard place. We agree with DEC's interpretation
of open watercourses as "streams", even if they are manmade, such
as a drainage ditch.
As I mentioned above, the topography is such that water has and
will always likely flow in this area. Whether it ia channelized
drainage or Furrow Creek makes little difference to the public health
issues involved. As a result of DEC's interpretations and concern
by property owners, the developer of McCabe Subdivision did not
construct the proposed drainage ditch in Knik Heights Subdivision.
However, that still lef~ individuals with a drainage problem. The
Municipality continued to evaluate the situation and work with ADEC
to dete2~ine if there was a solution which would solve the water
flow problems and protect the public health. We believe we have
recently found such an answer. ADEC has indicated that a
non-permeable drainage course could be constructed. Because this
would not necessarily require installation of a buried storm sewer,
the costs would be reasonable (perhaps around $12,000). The drainage
could be constructed either aa an open ditch lined with asphalt
or a half culvert. This would prevent groundwater intrusion, and
would be much easier for the property owners to maintain than a
buried pipe. The ditch would be constructed between Lots 3 and
4 of Knik Heights Subdivision.
There has also been a concern regarding septic separation distances
from the proposed drainage for Lots 1 and 2. ADEC agrees that because
of the specific elevation differences on these two lots, public
health concerns may be satisfied with an appropriate waiver.
Otherwise, a non-permeable drainage course could be constructed
here as well.
Lastly, the Municipality ~ecently enacted a deferred payment,
low-interest, loan program to assist individual homeowners in solving
septic and drainage-related problems. That program might be used
in this case, and we will encourage the homeowners to apply. We
will also resume discussions with the developer of McCabe Subdivision.
While some time has elapsed, the developer previously made a
commitment to accomplish some additional work in the area to help
solving the problem.
While this has been a thorny problem, we have taken an active and
positive approach to solve it within the limits of our authorities.
Our approach has been based on a good deal of research and a fair
Sen. Jan Faiks

amount of common sense. I think it is fair to all parties. The
longterm solution, however, must be a continued effort to adequately
plan for drainage on a larger basis, bring a fuller measure of service
to areas without either ARDSA or LRSAs, and avoid building in the
stream itself.
