RE: WELL & SEPTIC TANK UPGRADE PERMIT
LEGAL: MOUNTAIN VALLEY ESTATES BLOCK 1, LOT 11
The owner has requested that we obtain a well and septic permit to upgrade the existing aged
steel septic tank on the above referenced lot and also drill a new well. A foundation and a septic
system were installed in 1998 with no well drilled. We propose to install a 1000-gallon deep-
burial HDPE tank per the attached design to serve the existing 3 -bedroom residence along with a
new well.
Groundwater was noted in the MOA on-site file at 10’ and if shallow groundwater is
encountered during installation an epoxy coated steel septic tank, buoyancy issues requiring tank
anchoring or other action may be required. The lot and area are served by private water and any
encroaching wells, easements, … must be staked prior to construction. The design will not
impact any of the neighboring properties. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Curtis Huffman, P.E.

Re: Mountain Valley Estates Lot 11 Blk 1
Narrative & Permit Application
Dear Mr. Cross:
The proposed well and septic system will have very limited impact on adjacent properties for the
following reasons:
1. The surrounding lots are large, allowing sufficient room for septic sites.
2. Immediate neighboring septic systems are all +30' distance.
3. Reserve space is adequate, due to absorption capacity.
4. Drainage will not be affected and is not a major consideration in our design.
If you have any questions please call our office at 694-5195.
Sincerely,
Louis Butera, P.E.

G. CERTIFICATION & STATEMENT OF INSPECTION BY ENGINEER
As certified by my seal affixed hereto and as of the validation date shown below, I verify that my investigation, based
on procedures outlined in the Certificate of On-Site Systems Approval Guidelines, indicates that the on-site water
supply and/or wastewater disposal system appears to comply with applicable Municipal and State codes,
ordinances, and regulations in effect at the time of installation, unless noted otherwise.
Name of Firm FIRST WATER CONSULTING Phone 907-350-9566
Engineer’s Printed Name CURTIS HUFFMAN, PE Date 7/19/25
Comments: This investigation was completed in compliance with MOA guidelines, regulations,
and best industry practices / methods. The assessment of the condition of the well and septic
applies only to the conditions as of the day tested. The flow and absorption rates may change
due to subsurface conditions that may not be observed from the surface, changes in land use,
local soil characteristics, groundwater levels that may fluctuate during the year, quality of
construction (workmanship & materials), the water usage of the family being served by the
system and maintenance. The operational life of all well and septic systems are subject to
these various and dynamic characteristics and are outside the control of the evaluator of the
well and septic system. Therefore, any or NO estimate of how long a system will function satisfactory
for current or future occupants or guarantee that no unseen encroachments, deficiencies or
discrepancies exist can be given by First Water Consulting &

The septic tank for this property is 27 years old. The average life of an asphalt
coated steel septic tank is 20 years. Typical replacement costs are $15,000 or more,
not including engineering, surveying, MOA permitting fees or site restoration.
This advisory must be attached to all copies of the subject Certificate of On -Site
Systems Approval.
This is an example of what the metal of a 30 year old steel tank MAY look like.
