Existing Well and On-site Wastewater System
Dear Mrs. Anderson:
Pursuant to our meeting in my office the morning of September 3, 1996, I have prepared
this letter summarizing my findings and observations concerning the on-site well and
wastewater system on Lot 135, T15N RlW Section 18. From data and information
contained in our file and from information presented in Mr. Douglas Kenley's letter dated
August 13, 1996.
1. There is no record of an on-site wastewater and well permit being issued,
therefore, neither the well or wastewater system are legal.
From soils logs taken on October 25, 1983, there was shallow ground
water at five (5) feet or less below ground level.
According to Douglas Kenley's letter dated August 13, 1996, the existing
absorption system is a bed 16 feet wide x 22 feet long and is 3 feet deep.
No adequacy test was performed on the absorption system.
Based on the above information, this septic system is in violation of Municipal Code
because there does not appear to be a minimum of 4 feet of vertical separation between
the bottom of the absorption system and the seasonal high ground water table. Unless
additional information is availed, a Health Authority Approval Certificate would not be
issued by this office for this property unless the existing wastewater system was relocated.
If you have any further concerns or questions regarding this matter, please call our office
at 343~4744.
