MEMORANDUM

TO:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
December 30, 1985
Manager, Environmental Services
Con~issioner of Public Safety
Waiver of 40,000 Sq. Ft. Requirements,
Through 22, Tanaina Valley Subdivision
Case S-8295, Lots 1
I have reviewed the history of the above cited plat which was given
preliminary approval by DHHS last September.
It is my decision that the Environmental Services Division of DHHS will
waive the 40,000 square foot minimum lot requirement based on the
following information:
Preliminary approval was previously obtained by the developer. The
plat was scheduled for hearing in September, 1985 before the
Platting Board. The hearing was postponed and is now scheduled for
January 8, 1986. Absent the postponement, the plat would have been
approved routinely.
The Environmental Services Division advises the soils are good and
can handle the project.
3. The Environmental Services Division advises there is no health
hazard in this area.
This is the only development caught up in the system as a result of
our health alert. My judgement is that this waiver is the correct
and fair course of action absent a health hazard.
This waiver applies only to the minimum lot size and does not waive final
approval which will be based on standard criteria of engineering
data/soils tests as has been the department's past practice,
Commissioner of Public Safety

Community Planning Department
FROM:
Health and Human Services Department
SUBJECT: S-8295: Lots 1 through 22 Tanaina Valley Subdivision.
This Department has reviewed the proposed subdivision. We cannot support this
proposal because the lots within this subdivision do not meet the minimum 40,000
square foot lot size required for on-site wastewater disposal. Subsurface soils
and percolation tests conducted within the proposed subdivision adequately
characterize soils and percolation characteristics in the subdivision. These
tests indicate that the soils are suitable for on-site wastewater disposal. The
Department cannot support this plat, however, unless the lot sizes in the proposal
are increased to the 40,00 square foot minimum.

RE:
Data Report
Subsurface Soils and Percolation Test Results
Tanaina Valley Subdivision
Lots 1 through 22
Anchorage, Alaska
Our Job No 85-104.02
Dear Mr. Kaminski:
Pursuant to your request arid our contracted agreement, we have completed
an investigation of subsurface soils and percolation tests at the above-
referenced site. The letter report is intended to present the soils
logs and percolation test results.
A total of twenty-two (22) test holes were drilled at the site on
October 24, and 25, 1985. These holes were drilled by Denali Drilling
Incorporated of Anchorage, Alaska, using a Nodwell mounted Mobile B-50
drill rig with 6 inch diameter soilid flight augers. Eleven (ll) soil
profile holes were drilled to a depth of approxinlately fifteen (15) feet
below the existing ground surface in the locations shown on the attached
site plan, Plate 1. Test hole locations were staked by personnel from
Besse, Epps and Ports, project surveyors.Standpipes, consisting of 1 1/2
inch diameter slotted PVC casing were inserted in these borings to
measure static gound water levels. Eleven (ll) holes were drilled
within l0 fee~ of the soils holes to perform 'Field percolation tests.
These holes ranged in depth from 4 1/2 to lO 1/2 feet. The soils logs
and percolation test results are attached and appear on Plates 2 through
'12. Percolation tests were performed on October 27, 1985. Groundwater
levels were remeasured on November 7, 1985, and all holes were still
dry.
Soil samples recovered from the augers during test k. ole drilling were
returned to out' laboratory for visual examination, rorouping and testing.
l'he laboratory grouping is shown on Plate 13. Moisture con~;ents were
nleasured on selected samples and tile results are shown on Plate
Grainsize distributiops with frost classifications were obtaiLed on four
Page 2
representative samples. Tnese results awe shown ,~)n Plates; !5 through
18. Ail samples were classified according to the Unified Soils Classification
SysCem and th~ Textural Classification System pre.'~ented on Plates ig and
20, respectively.
Soils at the site generally consist of wind and water worked Silty Sands
(SM) and Sandy Silts (ML). Traces of Fi[lc gravel were observed in
borings 7, 8 and 9. Based on drilling effort, siCe soils appeared to
be in a ~e]atively loose condition. Moisture contents o'F ,the selected
samples ranged from 6.5 percent in the Silty Sand to 31.8 percent in the
Sandy Silt. Moisture contents however were generally less' than 20
percent. Grainsize analyses of the soils at tbe site indicate a moderate
(F-2) to high (F-4) frost susceptibility. Tha~ is, soils are expected
to heave significantly when freezing in the presence of moisture. No
static ground water tables were observed in any of the borings during
our field activities.
All percolation tests, with the exception of boring 10, were satisfactory.
it is recommended that a new location to
~n,~ norl;hwest be selected for
additional testing. Recommended wastewater disposal -~ystem de~]~n
values are shown on the soils logs.
We hope that the information contained in this report wi!! allow the
development of on-site wastewater disposal sysCems for this project.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of continued service. Please Feel
Free to call if you i~ave any Questions or if we can be of additional
assistance.

Subsurface Soils and Percolation Test Results
Tanaina Valley Subdivision
Lots 1 through 22
Anchorage, Alaska
Our Job No 85-104.02
Dear Mr. Kaminski:
Pursuant to your request and our contracted agreement, we have completed
an investigation of subsurface soils and percolation tests at the above-
referenced site. The letter report is intended to present the soils
logs and percolation test results.
A total of twenty-two (22) test holes were drilled at the site on
October 24, and 25, 1985. These holes were drilled by Denali Drilling
Incorporated of Anchorage, Alaska, using a Nodwell mounted Mobile B-50
drill rig with 6 inch diameter soilid flight augers. Eleven (11) soil
profile holes were drilled to a depth of approximately fifteen (15) feet
below the existing ground surface in 'the locations shown on the attached
site plan, Plate l. Test hole locations were staked by personnel from
Besse, Epps and Potts, project surveyors.Standpipes, consisting of 1 1/2
inch diameter slotted PVC casing were inserted in these borings to
measure static gound water levels. Eleven (ll) holes were drilled
within 10 fee~ of the soils holes to perform field percolation tests.
These holes ranged in depth from 4 1/2 to 10 1/2 feet. The soils logs
and percolation test results are attached and appear on Plates 2 through
'12. Percolation tests were performed on October 27, 1985. Groundwater
levels were renmeasured on November 7, 1985, and all }moles were still
dry.
Soil salnples recovered frolmt tile augers during test hole drilling were
returned to our laboratory for visual examilmation, grouping and ~msting.
The laboratory groul)ing is shown on Plate 13. Iqoisture contents were
measured on selected samples and the results are shown on Plate ]4.
Grainsize distributions with frost classifications were obtained on four
?age
representative samples. These results are shown on Plates !5 through
18. All '3a~:ples were classified according to the Unified Soils Ciassificai:ion
System and the Texi:Lral Classification System presented on Plates i9 and
20, respectively.
Soils at the site generally consist of wind and water worked Silty Sands
(SM) and Sandy Silts (ML). Traces of fine gravel were observod in
borings 7, 8 ~nd 9. Based on drilling effort, site soils appeared to
be in a relatively loose condition, lqoisture contents of the selected
samples ranged from 6.5 percen[ in the Silty Sand to 31.8 oercent ill ~he
Sandy Si ] t. I.lois~uce ~og~en~s ]lQWeVe~ ~'[Lr~ gene~lall~ less'~tha~ 20
percent. Gra~ze ~aiys~.s'of th~ s~ils at the site indicat~ ~'~io'derate
(F-2) to high (F-4) frost susceptibility. That is, soils are expected
to heave significantly when freezing in the presence of moisture. No
static ground water tables were observed in any of the borings during
our field activities.
All percolation tests, with tile exception of boring ]0, were satisfactory.
It is recommended that a new location to the northwest be selected for
additional testing. Recommended wastewater disposal system design
values are shown on the soils logs.
[,Je hope that the information contained in this report will allow the
development of on-site wastewater disposal systems for this project.
We appreciate l:he opportunity to be of continued se. rvice. Please feel
Free to call if you [lave any questions or if we can be of additional
assistance.
