Failure of septic systems varies according to use and soil type, however~ al! system have a finite life. A new ab~orptlon system is necessitated due to the frequent pumping re~aired of the e~isting system. This department requests an engineer familiar in Municipal codes and design criteria be e~ployed to conduct the following items: (a) Site selection for ab~prption area. (b) Soil absorption tests. (c) Expected flow/loading rates. (d) F~xisting septic tank evaluation for current expansion of ~ac~litleso (e) Absorption trench blueprin~ design.

This notice was delivered to Sunny Calkins our main- tenance man at the Jesse Lee Home by L. J. Bringle. Specific instructions given were "drain area, chlorinate and maintain septic system or court action will follow for upgrade". Please be advised that on July 28, 1978 Alaska Children's Services did employ Isaacs Vacuum Cesspool and Septic Tank Cleaning Service of Anchorage who removed nine truck loads of sewage water from the affected area. We also treated the area with 400 pounds of chlorine on that date. It is my understanding that on August 7 the area was again inspected and surface drainage found to be present. Isaacs' Service has been employed and will continue on a daily basis to remove drainage until the problem is resolved. On this date August 8, 1978 we have arranged for a backhoe service to dig up the system at the source of the problem. When the system is exposed we wit1 contact your office for an inspection and further recommendations. Please be assured that we are anxious to correct this matter. We ask the cooperation of your staff to the end that the problem be resolved satisfactorily.

The only changes from the preliminary blueprJ, nt originally submitted are location of the absorption trenches on the west side of distribution piping due to better soil porosity. This department finds the sewage facility design acceptable. One important facet that should be addressed is annual septic tank cleaning. I would hope this point is emphasized and incorporated by Jesse Lee Home management. If there are any questions, please contact this office at 264-4720. Sincerely, Les N. Buchholz, R.S.

The following items remain to be completed prior to acceptance and billing for the work to be submitted: Provide InsRection Report/Acceptance Certification by Municipality. As a warranty item, Mr. Garfield will return to the site in the spring of 1979 and provide more fine grading of the area. This is necessitated due to the freezing ground conditions and will not preclude payment at completion of the previous item. We enclose for your use 3 copies of the As-Built sketch which is based on our limited observations and the information provided by Mr. Garfield and is a supplement to the Contract Drawings M-1 thru 3 and SK-1/M-1 and SK dated November 7, 1978. We have reviewed this matter with the Municipality of Anchorage and it is suggested that your people arrange a meeting with them at the site. We have had dialogue with Mr. Les N. Bucholz at 825 L.

During the field work and data reduction, we consulted with Messrs. Dominic Lee and Gordon Edberg of Ellerbe-Alaska,.Project Archi- tect. We performed four percolation tests at points §elected by the architect during a site visit with our engineer. The holes were drilled using a si x-inch diameter solid flight auger to varying depths between ll and 17 feet. These holes were cased with perforated two-inch diameter ABS pipe. Our engineer was present during the drilling to log. the holes and obtain samples of the materials encountered. In general, similar soil conditions were present over the entire site below five feet deep. The soils below the five-foot level are stiff, moist sandy silt with so~m gravels and cobbles. Tile soil samples are being held in our lab- oratory for your inspection and grain size tests, if de~ired. Our engineer measured the percolation rates on Monday, September ll, 1978 following a presoaking period. The tests were performed in accordance with the Manual of Septic Tank Practices (Pub. No. 526, U.S. Department of H.E.W.), requiring saturation, swelling and percolation rates estab- lished during the last 30 minutes of the test. A constant head method was used for the measurement.= Although a broad range of percolation values were measured, we believe a rate of about 90 minutes per inch to be reasonably representative of t~e soil type, which yields a Q-value of 0.527 gallons/rtZ/day. The following is a summary of the percolation rates and calculated absorption rate (Q). The Q-value is calculated from tile formula Q is equal to five divided by the square root of "t", where "t' Mr. Dol~inic Lee Se?tember 12, 1978 Page Two HARDING-LAWSON ASSOCIATES is the percolation rate in minutes per inch.
