Of Environmental Quality 3330 C st. Anchorage, Ak., 99503 Subject: Proposed Borealis Subdivision and Borealis Subdivision Addition No. i Water Systems Dear Rolf, This letter has two purposes: First, to request your approval of a revision of the system described in the Engineering Report for Borealis Subdivision and, secondly, to request a letter of approval for a revised system of the same type for Borealis Subdivision Addition No. 1 As proposed, the system would have been a 40 GPM well supply and about 300 gallons storage in a 600 gallon pressure tank. The well only produces about 12 GPM. We would like to reduce the anticipated demand load to 25 GPM (2.5 GPM per residence) which, in my opinion, is still within acceptable limits. Based on a peak hour flow of 25 GPM and assuming a sustained pumpage rate of 10 GPM it will be necessary to store a 15 GPM x 60 minutes = 750 gallons. To provide this, we propose to install a 1500 gallon pressure tank within a pump house in the center of the cul-de-sac. All requirements for the pump house will be met and it will be fully described on "As-Built" drawings. The well has not yet been drilled for Addition No. 1. It may well be that a larger-flow will be attained,at that location. If, however, a lower yield well is developed, we would propose to take a similar approach to that described for Borealis Subdivision. Mr. McGee, owner of Borealis Subdivision Addition, is in the process of seeking financing for his development. If this approach is acceptable We'd appreciate a letter to that effect. If you would like any further information, please call me. S~cerel y, John bannon, P.E. Chief Engineer JC/dat BECE~VE~ JUL o 0 19/3 PM July 25, 1973. ,~r. John Cmmon, P.E. P. H.
