RE: SEPTIC TANK UPGRADE PERMIT
LEGAL: STONEVIEW LOT 1
The owner has requested that we obtain a septic permit to upgrade the existing aged steel septic
tank on the above referenced lot. We propose to install a 1500-gallon deep-burial HDPE tank
per the attached design to serve the existing 3-bedroom residence. The absorption field is sized
for 5 bedrooms per MOA records.
No groundwater was noted in the MOA on-site file, but if groundwater is encountered during
installation an epoxy coated steel septic tank 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. No surface water was observed within 100’ of the proposed tank. The design will
not impact any of the neighboring properties. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Anchorage, AK 99516
Dear Mr. Horowitz:
Per your request I have inspected the wastewater disposal
system serving the residence you propose to purchase on Lot 1 of
Stonev,ew S/D, located at 11411 Snowline Drive. I also have
reviewed the available information concerning the system ar the
Municipal Health Department, have discussed with Mr. Bevan the
test procedures he used in determining the system's adequacy and
verify,ng it's compliance with local codes, and have discussed my
findings with Mr. Morris of the Health Department both at his
office and on the site.
The wastewater disposal system was installed in November of
1981. According to Eugene Fisher's inspectxon reporr the system
consists fo a 1500 gallon septic tank followed by 52 lineal reef
of soil absorption trench containing 96 inches of gravel and
having 4 feet of cover over the distribution pipe. Two cleanout
pipes are shown on the septic tank and one at each end of the
trench. The inspection report indicates that the nearest lot
line is 90 feet from the trench and that a stream is 150 feet
from the trench.
On his Health Authority Approval checklist, Mr. Bevan noted
that the standpipe at the south end of the trench was 0.5 feet ~
from the west property line. After "modifications" of this
standpipe by the property owner, Mr. Bevan reported to the
Municipality that the standpipe had previously been bent away
from vertical, and that he now believes that the trench is
entirely on lot 1.
On June 13, at your request, I made some measurements of the
standpipes. The waste line at the foundation cleanout is a
little over 10 feet below the relatively flat ground level
surrounding the house. Thus, rather than having 4 feet of cover
as noted on the plans, the wastewater distribution pipes have a
minimum of at least 10 feet of cover. Mr. Bevan reported that
prior to the aforementioned "modifications" of the south stand-
pipe, he had observed a total depth in that pipe of approximately
15 feet below ground level, indicating that the pipe penetrated
at least part way down into the sewer rock.
On June 13, the "modified" standpipe extended to only a
little over 9 feet below ground level, indicating to me tbat it
terminated one or more feet above the level of the sewer rock and
horizontal distribution pipes. The north standpipe extended to a
similar depth. Ia order to further assess the status of the
"modified" standpipe, on Juae 15 I ran water into it with a bose
aud discovered 'that 19 gallons was sufficient to fill it to a
broke, joint just below ground level. The water level' receded
very slowly once I stopped adding water. Based on the above, I
would have to conclude that the "modified" standpipe is sot
connected in auy way to the soil absorption system. Thus, its
position'is irrelevant to a determination of the location of the
subsarface soil absorption system, and it is completely use]ess
for adequacy testiag purposes. I wou]d be surprised if the
DHHS would knowingly condone this type of subterfage.
Without a monitor tube extending to the bottom of the gravel
it is difficult for anyone to conduct a meaningful adequacy test
of the system. By adding a sudden dose of 700 gallons to the
septic tank, as Mr. Bevan did, one is able to determine that
there is that much available empty space in the sewer rock, but
one cannot determine the absorption rate. I think the instal-
lation of a functioning monitor tube should have beea required.
Only when you pointed out that there was in fact a stream
flowing within 100 fe&t directly downhill from the septic system,
were arrangements made to relocate the stream outside t.he
protective radius. This work was done o. June 14, and was
successful in getting approximately 90% of the stream flow into
the new channel. Based on my previous understanding of Health
Department regulations, I would assume that even the remaining
flow would require a formal waiver of the required 100 foot
separation between wastewater disposal systems and surface water.
If such a waiver were granted now, you could have some degree of
confidence that it would still be valid were you to need Health
Authority Approval of the system in the future.
I should point out that the soils in which the system is
constructed are near ideal for on-site wastewater disposal, and
that I saw no evidence of failure of the system. According to
the as-built, it was originally sized for at le. ast five bedrooms,
and if so, that provides an added factor of safety. Should the
system fail, there does appear to be ample space in the southern
portion of the lot for construction ~f a replacement.
For ~our own protection,' I do think you should formally
notify the Health Department of the abovementioned discrepencies,
to ensure that their approval is not based on erroneous
information which you might have in the future.

Ted ~oore,

Subject: Lot 1 Stoneview Subdivision, Health Authority Approval
Dear Mr. Bevan:
This Department has received an independent evaluation of the
septic system on the subject lot by way of a letter written by
Ted Moore, P.E. to Mr. Warren Horowitz. A copy of this letter
is attached. Mr. Moore has brought up a number of
discrepancies regarding the septic system that must be resolved
before a Health Authority Approval can be issued for the
property. I have itemized some of the points brought out in
Moore's letter below.
Based on the elevation of the wasteline at the foundation
cleanout, Moore determined that the drainfield standpipes
terminated at a level above the gravel in the drainfield.
The results of any adequacy test performed without monitor
tubes are questionable unless it can be established that
the storage capacity of the rock-filled trench has been
exhausted. The meaningfulness of an adequacy test
conducted by introducing 700 gallons of water into an
absorption field without monitor tubes is questionable.
Moore contends that only ninety percent of the stream flow
was rerouted into the new channel and that the remaining
flow should require a formal waiver.
As for item 3 above, I believe that the stream setback problem
has been substantially resolved and a formal waiver is not
necessary. Unless the discrepancies brought up in items 1 and
2 can be addressed by way of explanation this department will
require that at least one four inch monitor tube be installed
at one end of the trench. This monitor tube should be attached
to the perforated drainfield piping with a sweep. A minimum of
three feet of perforated pipe should extend into the gravel
below this sweep connection.
After the installation' Of the ~onitor tube another adequacy
test should be performed. The results of this adequacy test
must be submitted to this department.
If you have any questions regarding this matter please give me
a call. I realize that you have not had the opportunity to
speak to the discrepancies brought up in this letter.

Stephen S. Morris, civil Engineer DHHS
100 foot separation requirement between stream and
drainfield.
A portion of a small stream on Lot 2 of Stoneview S/D was
rerouted in order to meet the required 100 foot setback to the
drainfield on the subject lot. The horizontal separation
between the original stream channel and the closest portion of
the septic drainfield on Lot 1 was approximately 80 feet. The
major portion of the flow in this stream was rechannelled to a
distance in excess of the 100 foot requirement.
On June 15, 1987 I inspected this stream diversion. It appeared
that approximately 90 percent of the stream had been routed into
the new channel 100 feet away from the drainfield. It is my
opinion that the stream setback problem has been substantially
resolved and that a waiver is not required for the small surface
water flow that remains in the old stream channel. If the
stream were to revert back to its original channel it is my
opinion that there is little if any possibility of contamination
of this stream due to its proximity to the drainfield.

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 09/25/2025
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 &

Dear Mr. Morris:
I have now completed the requested repairs on, and
of, the wastewater disposal system serving the residence
of Stoneview S/D. Updated HAA forms are enclosed.
testing
on Lot 1
On June 20, under my supervision, Nick Stone excavated the
south end of the soil absorption trench and installed a combined
cleanout and monitoring tube. The monitor tube of perforated
F-810 pipe extends 3.5 feet below the horizontal distribution
pipe. The ASTM D-3034 riser extends 14.5 feet to a level approx-
imately 3 feet above ground surface. Although no formal survey
has been done, it would appear that the location is near to that
shown on the original lot survey.
Also on June 20 I retested the well yield. Near the maximum
drawdown of 111 feet below the top of the casing, the well yield
is 1.5 gpm, but this rate tapers off rapidly as the water level
climbs towards the static level of 78 feet. The well is equipped
with a Warrick low level pump protector, and there is a 120
gallon unpressurized storage tank in the house.
On June 22 I tested the adequacy of the wastewater disposal
system by running 3000 gallons of water into it through the
septic tank cleanout. Ail of the fluid disappeared from the
abovementioned monitor tube within 50 minutes after the water was
added. Based on this test, I determined that the absorption rate
is adequate for a 5 bedroom residence.
Please give me a call if you have any questions.

Encroachment on 100 foot stream setback requirement
Dear Mro Bevan:
This department has received a copy of an as-built survey that
shows a "seasonal stream" running within 100 feet of the septic
system on the subject lot. This information is inconsistent
with existing department records which describe the stream as
being located a distance "150 plus" from the septic system.
Until this discrepancy is resolved, the Health Authority
Approval issued for this property on June 1, 1987 is revoked.
If you have questions regarding this matter please contact me

Subject: Lot 1 Stoneview Subdivision
Dear Mr. Bevan:
I am writing in response to your letter of July 13, 1987. In
this letter you took exception to an inference made in my June
17 letter to you that your adequacy test was improper or
incorrect. As you know, my letter was written without the
benefit of your input or rebuttal to the "allegations" made by
Mr. Moore. I would have preferred to hear the arguments and
reasoning behind your site evaluation before writing the June
17 letter but both the buyer (Mr. Horowitz) and seller (Mr.
Stone) were very anxious to resolve the situation quickly and
could not wait for your return from Fairbanks. I tried to make
it clear in my letter that the discrepancies brought up by Mr.
Moore could be resolved by way of explanation and that the
letter was written before you had an opportunity to speak to
these discrepancies.
I have reviewed the procedures and reasoning you used in
evaluating the adequacy of the septic system and have concluded
that a proper evaluation was performed. I would like to
emphasize that this is the first time I have had an opportunity
to review the details of your adequacy test. Provided below
are comments to some of the points brought up on page 2 of your
letter in which you describe your testing methodology.
The original condition of the septic system prior to
the standpipe modifications was not observed by this
department or Mr. Moore. The department has no
reason to doubt your initial observations.
Bevan Engineering
July 21, 1987
Page Two
Prior to m~dification the south standpipe extended
3.6 feet into the gravel. Although it would be
preferable for the standpipe to extend to the bottom
of the gravel as is now required by code, I agree
that the existing standpipe provided enough
information to sufficiently evaluate the performance
of the system.
The department/was g~ven the impression that the
house had been~occup~ed for some t~me and as a
result the system would not be working at its normal
operating level at the time of your test. The
assumption that the system was at its normal
operating level is critical to the interpretation of
your data.
I agree with your conclusion that sufficient
unpolluted sidewall existed above the operating
level of the septic system for a three bedroom
dwelling. Again, this conclusion is based on the
assumption that the system was at its normal
operating level.
I agree with your conclusion that by injecting 255
gallons of water into the trench without a rise to
the minus 3.6 level in the standpipe demonstrates
that the system is operating below the minus 3.6
level. I disagree that this proves that the
original soils rating of 125 sq. ft. per bedroom was
conservative. I believe that this can be
established only by measuring the infiltration
rate. This was not done during your tests.
I was not aware that the introduction of 700 gallons
of water into the septic tank on May 29, 1987 was
intended to test the integrity of the piping system
and not to retest the adequacy of the system.
I do not think that your conclusion here was ever
contested by this department. The lot line issue
was a point of contention between the buyer and
seller.
I do not agree the department participated in "railroad"
enforcement procedures against Mr. Stone. As I stated earlier,
both Mr. Stone and Mr. Horowitz were very anxious to resolve
Bevan Engineering
July 21, 1987
Page Three
the situation. Mr. S~one was willing proceed with repairs
without the benefit of your input for the sake of expediency.
If the information regarding your original adequacy test were
available to me earlier a new adequacy would not have been
required.
The fact remains that Mr. Stone deliberately and knowingly
installed a standpipe that served no useful purpose. After the
modifications to this south standpipe there were no useful
monitoring tubes or cleanouts in the absorption trench. Future
adequacy tests would have to be performed without knowing the
operating level of the system or being able to measure the
infiltration rate. The correct installation of this south
standpipe would have been required in any event.
In short, the department has found that the methods used to
evaluate the adequacy of the septic system were sound in this
case. I would like to point out that the methods and reasoning
used by engineers in conducting adequacy tests are rarely
questioned or scrutinized. In this case the department was
presented with information from another engineer that
questioned the validity of your original adequacy test. The
decision to require another adequacy test was made in lieu of a
of an explanation or rebuttal from you.

Morris

Subject: Lot 1 Stoneview Subdivision, Health Authority Approval
Dear Mr. Bevan:
This Department has received an independent evaluation of the
septic system on the subject lot by way of a letter written by
Ted Moore, P.E. to Mr. Warren Horowitz. A copy of this letter
is attached. Mr. Moore has brought up a number of
discrepancies regarding the septic system that must be resolved
before a Health Authority Approval can be issued for the
property. I have itemized some of the points brought out in
Moore's letter below.
Based on the elevation of the wasteline at the foundation
cleanout, Moore determined that the drainfield standpipes
terminated at a level above the gravel in the drainfield.
The results of any adequacy test performed without monitor
tubes are questionable unless it can be established that
the storage capacity of the rock-filled trench has been
exhausted. The meaningfulness of an adequacy test
conducted by introducing 700 gallons of water into an
absorption field without monitor tubes is questionable.
Moore contends that only ninety percent of the stream flow
was rerouted into the new channel and that the remaining
flow should require a formal waiver.
As for item 3 above, I believe that the stream setback problem
has been substantially resolved and a formal waiver is not
necessary. Unless the discrepancies brought up in items 1 and
2 can be addressed by way of explanation this department will
require that at least one four inch monitor tube be installed
at one end of the trench. This monitor tube should be attached
to the perforated drainfield piping with a sweep. A minimum of
three feet of perforated pipe should extend into the gravel
below this sweep connection.
After the installati~'6f the monitor tube another adequacy
test should be performed. The results of this adequacy test
must be submitted to this department.
If you have any questions regarding this matter please give me
a call. I realize that you have not had the opportunity to
speak to the discrepancies brought up in this letter.

Morris

Re : Lot 1 Stoneview Subdivision
Dear Steve :
I am writing in response to your letter dated June 17, 1987. In this letter you
required that my client Bill Stone install a septic monitor tube and hire a
second adequacy test by an engineer.
It is my contention that the additional adequacy test was not necessary. I
further contend that .the decision by you to require said test was made based
upon incomplete information supplied to you by Mr. Harowitz~s engineer. This
action by you resulted in an unnecessary'and excessive extra engineering cost
to Mr. Stone..
-Attached to this letter is a summary of my field data and the decision
processes I employed as the subject project developed.
After reading this report I expect a ~ritten response from you ~ith a finding
of the'fact in ~hich my adequacy testing methodologies used in this case are
clearly condemed or exonerated.

Re : Lot 1Stoneview
1) During development of the house site the septic system was buried under
approximately 12 feet of gravel. The standpipes were brought up to near surface
level with cheap couplings and minimal compaction. As such they were
substantially misaligned to the ~est ~d damaged by soil pressures. I will also
point out here that I was the only engineer to inspect the site in its original
condition and speculations by others as to the original conditions are
meaningless.
2) When I arrived on the site the south standpipe reached a depth of - 3.6 feet
below the fluid level in the tank .( See Exhibit ~1 ). There was no fluid in
this standpipe nor was there a septic smell to the soil particles I retrieved
with a probe from the south standpipe.
3) Since the home was presently occupied and had been for some time I concluded
that the system was at its normal operating level. This level was obviously
below the -3.6 foot elevation. I concluded that the system had a minimum of 3.6
feet of unpolluted trench sidewall gravels with an absorptive area of
~2)*(3.6)*(52) = 374 square feet.
4) The original soils rating used in the septic design was 125 square feet per
bedroom. As such the minimum required sidewall area for a 3 bedroom home was
(125)*~3) = 375 square feet. I concluded that the system had sufficient,
unpolluted sidewall area and the above numerical comparision gave me confidence
that the system was adequate for 3 bedrooms.
5) On 5-12-87 I injected 255 gallons into the south standpipe during a 3 hour
well flow test. No rise was observed in the standpipe as was expected due to
the topography and geology of the site. I concluded from my test data that the
normal operating level was below the 3.6 foot level and that the original soils
rating of 125 was conservative.
6) On May 29, 1987 I hired a tank truck and injected the infamous 700 gallons
of clear water directly into the septic tank. The intent of this procedure was
to test the integrity of the piping system leading from the tank to and
including the distribution pipe. I was concerned that due to the higher than
average overburden depth Cweight) the piping might be crushed, out of round, or
that a pipe joint had separated. The water was injected at a rate of
approximately 25 gallons per minute with no rise observed in the tank level.
This test confirmed my opinion that the system was adequate for 3 bedrooms.
7) When the lot line problem arose I advised Mr. Stone to get a lot line
waiver, which he did. Based upon the asbuilt survey dated May 12, 1987 and upon
my geometric computations I concluded that the system only protruded onto Lot 1
~.~,,.1.~O~,~1~. Since my inspection of the original south standpipe revealed
that it was bent to the Nest, I felt that the entire system was on Lot 1.
PaCe 2
Re : Lot 1Stoneview
Summary
I do not concur with the concept that there is only one way to determine the
acceptiblity of an on-site septic system. The entire process is extremely site
specific and the use of tunnel vision, single method testing processes
definitely results in a false sense of security. Strict reliance upon a falling
head permeability test in an "inspection tube" gives the engineer only limited
information about the system as a whole.
If the MOA intends to participate in "railroad" inforcement procedures as were
used on Mr. Stone, I suggest that you redefine the ordinance to include the
testing methods a Professional Engineer must use in order to satisfy your
requirements.
I do admit an error in judgement regarding the standpipe repair issue, although
Mr. Stone was given ample instructions as to the requirements of a monitor
tube. The majority of septic systems in Anchorage have at least one substandard
standpipe. In the present economic climate most citizens cannot afford the $250
required to repair a standpipe, especially if it involves a perfectly
functional septic system. In the future I will definitely refer all
questionable standpipes to you for enforcement.
A second error on my part was my effort to provide sincere cooperation to Mr.
Harowtitz and his engineer Mr. Ted Moore. I most certainly will not extend this
professional courtesy to Mr. Moore in the future.
