General 1. The system as designed will serve the 23 lots in this subdivJ, sion as noted above and as shown on the attached drawiugs. 2. The systom as designed will not be expanded. 3, There will be no industrial activity which will affect the requirements of this water system, 4, The estimated daily water consumption assuming 100 g~p.d, n~n. per capita and 3,25 people per residence and 30 residences is lOG x 3,25 × 30 = 9750 gallons per day or 6.77 gallons per minute. This is the present and futuro requirement. The capacity of this system is based on th~ peak demand computed as follows: Assuming for each lot: Bathroom group with flush tank, ~itchen siuko 3. Laundry tray, Total supply fixture units per lot .~ ll -2- Englneering Report ~ale Subdivision For 23 lots the load on the system in supply fixture units is 330. With this load the supply demand is equal to 92 gallons per minute for approximately 20 minutes or 1840 gallons. With the installation of one 315 gallon Hydro-pneumatic storage tank %with 2/3 effective capacity installed in the well house to serve Lot l~ Block 2, and one 82 gallon Hydro-pneumatic storage tank for storage on each of the remaining lets, the total storage for this system %~.ll be 1412 gallons. Required pump capacity = 1840~14~_~2= 21.3 gallons per 2O minute or 1278 gallons per hour. 5. The source of water for this system is a drilled deep water well located as sho~ on the plans. The well is cased with a 6" casing to a depth of 191', to prevent ground water contamination. The top of the casing %will extend at least 12" above fiuished grade with no pit around the~casing. A well house will be constructed over the well to allow all electric controls to be located at the well. ~e well house ~.ll be insulated and weabher tight. It will have a daylight draiu and will be electirsally heated to prevent freezing. A pitless adaptor %,~11 not be used and the discharge pips'will come out of the top of the casing and will be connected to the distl%bution header in the well house. The casing will be sealed. 6. Prior to public use the water from this well will be tested for quality. 7o Permafrost le not known to be present in this area. B. ~his is not a surface water source. Ground water source. ' 2.

Striokland: As c note of explanation governing an answer to your ]attar of October 1, 197), I had shortly before this date incurred a ruptured spinal disc and have, therefore, ~ome Ou'tsids for additional medical attention, thus not being available by phone or a people to people discussion ~f the problems I related to you concerning matters about the ~als 8ubdivisionSand a certain ~ir. Nick Yale, apparent o~ner thereof such subdivisbn, if such subdivision exists in entity. Shsrtly before ta~ing up these matters with the Borough departments of interest, contact was made by letter to the Alaska Public Utilities Oommission, Depart[r~ent of Commerce, State of Alaska, llOO Macl{ay Building, Anchorage, Alaska, concerning like matters as per my letter to you of September 2~, 197~, but parh'~ps in not as wide a scope or detil. I received a forwarded letter from tbs above State of Alaska authsrized body in which they have reviewed their files as they indicate in their letter, and their review indicates that fale Subdivision does not hold, nor has it ~ade application for, a certificate of public convenience and necessity to opera!e a water and sewer utility, and the Oormrd. ssion has apparently Forwarded certain documents to ]>:ick 'fale as indicated b,; their letter to me. In my letter to the Oo,~mission, I submitted tv..o documents to 'this bod~, one a money draft and l'ne other a document of receipt by a i~[ick 'fale part sf this instru ment harked '!later and Sewer ASS. Paid in Full" and dated June F-l, 1775, end I am submittin., copies(true) o£' the same documents to your department and the other d(.~part [~en'ts s~ ihs Soroug?l as re uested in mM letter to -fsu of September =5, 197~. As I indicated to Meu in my letter of Septe~.ber ~, 1975, there is another vsm, im portent document and oz' docunents on file ak the Recorder's Office, third Judicial District~ regaling impl~entation of some kind of agreement regarding ~he w~ter svstsm of ~ Yale Subdivision ", which is in entire disregard of the r~uirements set forth by the Borough as to establishment of a ;'Oommu~ity Water S~otem '~ when and if the GAAS and the Starts of Alaska accepted this legally as a subdivision. There is no question of the chain of events in this matter end ~he purpose of this cerialn party, a ~.'.r. Z!ick Yale, in assuming to himself without regards to tho intent of the ~-reater Ancbo~'a!je Ares Sorough in r quiring certain end ressonabl~ r-~quire~i:er, ts re~{crdin~ property owner partic~ating I~,embershtp in the col~;munity tvpe water system, end I agsin repeat lhat I ful]~ object to the disclosures of this moment. I sat in with 'Zou end I.!r. Nick zale a number of ti~ses on the restrictive roculrs'.~snts both for the sanitary and water developments of this anticpated subdivision, and also attended a number of board meetings about these very sai:e questions now being brought to light again, and also was kept informed by the enf~ine~rs, lJlenn ~.uf[' and Oosny Gardine~ on related matters and also w)s a party to infom[ation as rsleted by the State of Alaska, of 'cha interested department~ the same In one of my preceding paragraghe rega ding a money draft and a receipt which copies are enclosed , Mr. Yale, as you will note, stated in tho ~teceipt~, ~,'~atsr and ~ewor Ass. Paid in Full". This raises a number of questions about }4r. Yale and his substantiated statement about assess,~ents as indicated by his above rsceipt~ and 'they are~ 1. ¥~here and how did ~ale accomplish this to himself. ¥;as th~ "Yale Subdivision" actually a certified subdivision at this dat~. Did Y~le have certifications to operate in this manner~ or was he in violation of statuatory requirem~nt~ at this time. ~;as Yale in proper agreement with the prsscrib~ regulations and requirements of the Borough and State regarding original and stated stipulations for acceptaoce of the ~ale Subdivision s regarding the status of the Community type water and sewer systems under special design and criteria for submission and acceptance by the above bodies. As I recall very plainly at the time of submission of the original parcel or tract of land by fale for platting and acceptance by the [~AAB and State, the requirement ',~as that both sanitary and water s~/stems be installed and paid for and that lots out of the proposed subdivisien be sold to the origbnal purchare at a selling price whlch included not only the sewer and water systmme but also a particpation of ownership of th~ come, un i~' water' system was to be absolutely included to the benefit of the lot(and or llots) purchaser or purchases of first order~ the sewer syst~l~ to become a function of the GAAB w~ich would clear Tale out of thls area of participation along witb the home owner Or ownors , Arrival has reached ihs point w e~'eae either Yale sbide by rules and regulatisns as set ~brth previously mainly that f~rst of order lot purchers or o~.lnere i~ the proposed "Yale subdivision" retain proeBetor? particpating membership and ov..nership of the community water system a£ the aobe submitted subdivision to the GAAB and the State. On the ether hand, l~[r. ~fale, without any cost to any lot owner portain~E to the water system of the above proposed subdivision, and reimbursement for any funds so obtained b~ Y'ale previously as ~ssesements" as Yale so coils these funds he has obtained from certain lot purchasers and or owners ~n the above proposed subdivision, proposed under the nar~e ~Yale Subdivision~, retain ownership of ~he designed water svste~ associated wilh the subdivision with ~i~;ht to sell such water system to an organized utility concern at any time and to make charges For monthly w~ter so delivered to each consumer, provided that Yale sustain all costs of the origination, construction and u~aintainence of same since Yale would be the sole proprietor, therebV removing a two sale return to ?ale to which Yale is not entilled. I think it is ver~ fair to request a review of these matters By the GAA~ an d the A~aska Public Utilities Oom~ission to sustain tho re~mests I ?lave made now ar)d in my previous lettsr. It will be about Four months before I r'eturn to Anshorage and I will appr~cia%e bein~ kept inform:ed of the immediate prosress of these matters. i~i~h kindest pereonel re.~ards, I remain. 72~ !3oath Grange 3iou× ~'alls~ South Dakota t~mpor er'; ad~'] r ~ss tespectfully, Don V.

Huff Contracting Engineers & Associates 1801 Stanton Avenue Anchorage, Alaska 99501 ,, July 14, 1972 Dear Mr. Huff: Sub__j_ect: GAAB .- Yale Subdivision~ Water and Waste S,ystems~___,_._ The results of our initial review of this project were sent to Mr. Conrad Gardner of your organization by our letter of June 20, 1972. Your reply of June 26, 1972 forwarded two plans which together with the letter answered most of our questions and requiranents. Two points remained, however, and these were clarified by your telephone call to Mr. Richard Britt of this Departmentl, on July 6, 1972. The percolation test was taken outside of the excavated area of the pit (not 'in the gravel fill as we had feared). Secondly, rock of no less than 3" in size can be substituted for the gravel shown as fi'Il for the pit. The plans for this project are approved by this Department with the understand- ing that at least 3" rock will be used for the 'Fill of the seepage pits, and last, that the water must equal that of drinking water quality as defined Dy the Public Health Service with such treatment as may be necessary to meet these standards.

Gardner Contracting Engineers and Associates 1801 Stanton Ave. Anchorage, Alaska 99504 Dear Mr. Gardner: Subject: GAAB - Yale Subdivision, Water and Waste Systems I am writing in regard to the plans and engineering reports of the subject systems, forwarded to this Department via Mr. Kyle Cherry of our Anchorage office, by your undated letter of May 1972, and received by us on June 14, 1972. The plans carried the stamp and signature of a registered engineer. No specifications were receive~ but the plans noted that.construction would be in accordance with the GAAB Standard Specifications. An application for approval of plans was also received. This dual project will provide a well and water distribution system together with a waste disposal collection system (one 8" line), and septic tank - seepage pit disposal system. We were informed by GAAB Public Works Depart- ment that sewerage would be provided in this area of Dimond Boulevard and Emerald Street by next year so we regard this as a temporary system. The engineering report states that the systems are for 20 lots and will not be expanded. We have some questions and requirements as 'follows: a. What is the depth of the water table at the site of the septic tank and seepage pits? To avoid contamination of the ground water we require the pit bottoms to be at least 4' above the water table. From the water report, it appears this may be a major problem that must be investigated carefully. b. We req~ire percolation tests of the ground at the seepage pits. These pits are dependent on the abosrption values of 'the side walls and an "estimated percolation rate" might well lead to sorry suprises later. c. While there is no objection to fill in a seepage sit, this should be in the nature of head sized rocks rather than gravel. The later lends itself too easily to the formation of sulphide mats with a consequent early failure. Page 2 Mr. Conrad H. Gardner June 20, 1972 d. The distance of the seepage pits from the semi-public well shown here is sufficient for compliance with our regulations but we need assurance that no other wells are within 100' to 200' (depending on consumers s~ppl!~d and.~he.pu~!ng_~!Z_ Please provide information as %0 o~ner we/~s in ~nlS w~n~y. e. The hatch to the septic tank must be offset from the influent T to allow entry and for pumping when such become necessary. f. All concerned should be aware that plastics cannot be thawed after freezing as can metals. We recommend use of metal water line throughout. g. We require details of the well house. While we are not dir- ectly concerned with strength of structure, we are concerned that it provides security from possible vandalism and that space is sufficient for repairs to be made. h. A gro~t seal for the well must be provided for at least 12' below surface elevation. i. Since the water must equal that of drinking water quality as defined by the Public Health Servicq treatment may be a necessary dependent on what the chemical analysis shows. We look forward to hearing further from you regarding this, particularly in regard to the height of the water table at the subsurface area since we sus- pect its height may be such as to necessitate a different method of disposal. The percolation figures may also require something different than what is shown here. Please let us know if clarificaiton is needed for any of the above. Sincerely yours, Richard ~.
