Judkins, R.S. Director Roll Strickland, R.S.~t~ Chief Sanitarian SUBJECT: Summary of File: Gerrit Reindeers Lot 10 A, Block 2 Campbell Heights Subdivision September 8, 1970 Permit issued to Joe Williams to install sewer system on subject lot. Hovember 4, 1970 Sewer system inspected and approved by Greater Anchorage Area Borough Department of Environmental Quality. January 20, 1971 FHA approval given to sewer and water system. May 2, 1972 Received complaint that Reindeers were pumping sewage out of septic tank. Mr. Tim Rumfelt responded and observed same. Nrs. Reindeers was given verbal warn- ing to stop pumping. Mrs. Reindeers agreed to stop the pumping. May 3, 1972 Situation observed again by Mr. Rumfelt and Mr. Buchholz. The pump was not running and another verbal warning was given. Photographs were taken and sewer system was dyed. May 4, 1972 Mr. Lee and Mr. Rumfelt observed dye and sewage running from Reindeers sewer system. Court citation issued to Mrs. Reindeers. May 5, 1972 Received letter from Nrs. Reindeers regarding the problem and her explanation of the problem. May 8, 1972 Letter from Commissioner Max Brewer to C. P. Judktns re- garding this case. C~P. Judktns l~y 30, 1973 Page Two )lay 10, 1972 Hay 15, 1972 June 2, 197;> June 13, 1972 June 19, 1972 October 6, 1972 October 11, 197Z October 19, 1972 April, 1973 told Summary of case to date for pending legal action against Reindeers, by Tim Rumfelt. Summary of action on case in regards to newspaper article, by John Lee. Letter from C. P. Judkins to Commissioner Max Brewer explaining the case. Court trial of Gerrtt Reindeers. The judge found Reindeers guilty and fined them $100.00 and suspended $75.00 Copy of letter from FHA to Commissioner )~x Brewer regarding FHA involvement in the case. Complaint from tenant living in Reindeers basement that sewage was backing up into basement plumbing fixtures. Case was investigated and a warning citation was given to Mrs. Reindeers. Retnspection on warning issued indicated voluntary compliance by pumping the sewer system. No court citation issued. Letter from Mr. John Lee to )Irs. Reindeers explain- ing that the basement apartment should be vacated until the surface drainage-sewage disposal problem could be corrected. Rolf Strickland and Ed Mc~illan (Borough Public Works Roads and Drainage Department) met at the subject property with Hr. and Mrs. Reindeers to discuss the surface drainage problems which seem to be aggravat- ing the sewage disposal problem. It was explained to the Reindeers that by properly sloping and grading their property they could com- pletely eliminate the surface drainage problem. The north side of the house has a reverse drainage problem which actually brings surface water to the basement foundation and then into the basement. This would certainly help the situation observed in April because it was obvious the basement was flooded by surface water and not a backed up sewer system. October 19, 197Z Phyllis Retnders G701 Spruce Street Anchorage, Alaska 99507 Subject: Downstairs Rental Unit On Lot lOA, Block 2, Campbell Heights Subdivision Dear )Irs. Retnders: lhts Department has given considerable thought to your problem of sewage backing into your apartment at 6701 Spruce Street. There does not see: to be any simple solution to this problem short of providing surface drainage from your property so that the water table can be maintained at a level belo~l your existing sewer systen~. A high water table seems to be the only logical explanation for the sewer system backup although there was no standing water in the drainfleld at the time of our inspection prior to backfill. The Roads and Drainage Section of the Borough Department of Public :orks tells mo a drainage plan is nov~ being established for your area and that work ~tll probably commence in your area after breakup next spring. In t~e interim, we must request that the downstairs apartment be vacated until this problem has been resolved. The Alaska Housing Code, Ite~a 1000, Subci~apter 9, Ci~apter 2, Title 7, Alaska Administrative Code in Section 7, paragraph 7.6 states: Every supplied facility, piece of equipment or utility which is re- quired under this ordinance shall be so con:tructed or installed that it will function safely and effectively and shall be main- tained in satisfactory working condition". Phyllis Rel~ders October 19. 1972 .Page Two Your cooperation in this matter is requested. We everything in our power to see that a solution to problem is instituted as soon as possible. Stl~cerelyo shall do the drainage John R. Lee, R.S. Environmental Services Supervisor bb cc: Ed )Icl.It 11 a~ Roads and Drainage June 2, 1972 D~. ~ax C. Brewer, Commissioner Alaska Depto of Envlron~entsl Conaervstton Pouch "0" Juneau, Alask~ 99801 D~ar~t~x~ In reference to your letter of key 8, 1972 concerning the Daily article of kay 5, 1972 entitled "Resident Pu~lng Sewage ~;ater to Prove a Point." ! must apologize for this late reply a2d advise that I sm Ju=t returning fro~ 6 weeks of medical leave of absence and have thlngs to catch up on. Enclosed is a copy of a Uay 15 memorandum fro~'=. John Lee cf my staff su=r~rlzlng his Section's involve=ant in this particular case, As you can sca, wo were first aware of the situation via a citizun's complaint. Following standard procedures an investigation was ~ade and a warning citation issued. Upon failure to comply with the ~arning citation, ~s, Reinders ~as issued s citation to court and advised that further violation= would result in subsequent citations and injunctive action Initiated by this Department, Often we bec6mc frustrated as we follow due process of law and cannot go out and physically abate code violations, There is quite a bit of hesitancy cn tl~ part of tho local legal office and the court system to issue court orders requiring im~ediate abatement of conditions such as th~se. It would ap?ear that thc legal and court factions involved sre Just not convinc~d of the public health aigniflcsnca of human ex- posure to fecal wastes. Oho must really go out on a public campaign such ss this Department did in relation to the Oceanview area sewage disposal problem in order to get court and legal support of quick cor- rective action. The facility involved was inspected by this office as per ~r. tea's memorandum and as per our arrangement with the Federal Housing Administration ss this office does all on-site waste disposal inspections for that agency. Our percolation tests and soils tests are done by private geological consulting and engineerin9 consulting firms. The soils reports for this property did not indicate the presence of a water table in conflict with the drainage field design, All on-site waste disposal facilities are inspected by this Page 2 Dr, Max C. Bred'er June 2, 1972 DepartmentJs staff prior to backfilling. As indicated in ~r. LeeJs report, the final inspection of this system did not produce any avl- dance to indicate a water table proble=. Apparently, road construction within the area Just prior to the past winter, resulted in a blockage of winter frround water flow and forced the water to the surface via ~rs. Reinderst oewage disoosal system. ~rSo Reinderat previOUS plaints to the BorouGh were aOparently throuGh the Public ~orks De- partment end involved road maintenance and drainage problems in the area. Subsequently, a roads and drainage service district has been formed and the Borough is now providing this service. It is my under- standino that the Public ¥:orks Department is in thc process of develop- inO s drainage system for the area'. BoOefully this will intercept the iIround ~ater flow at the upper end of the subdivision and divert it a~pro~riately, thus eliminating ~rs. Reinders~ problem at least for the tl~e being. ~,~ have no know:ledge, and therefore cannot coc~nent, concernin~ co~laints ~ade to FI~ and the developer ,htch apparently brought no results. As ~r. Lee mentions in his report, we have been having some problems with the develooer, ~!ro Joe ~lllliaes, concerning the water distribution system for thc s~bdivision. Aooarently, plans have been reviewed and a~proved by your Anchorage offic'e for this oroJect~ construction has not been in accordance with those plans. The developer is difficult to get a hold of as he has a h~bit of leavin~ town or becoming suddenly unavailable when ~e ~ish'to get e hold of him. I:e sro, at the present time, using all of ~e techniques that you men- tioned to stimulate reasonable responsibility for sound development by local developers. I should point out that this particular situation is an exceptionl the vast ~Jority of the devclopers in the Anchorage co~- munlty do a very fine Job. This was not the case 7 or 8 years ago when it ~as the exce3tien to find a very conscientious developer that really wanted to do a good Job with his project. I think, at the present time, that we are (both of our offices) moving ahead on a course ~hich rill even further reduce the presence of the unscrupulous contractor who only wishes to get in, ~ke his buck and get out. ~c are recently having more and more cooperation fro~ thc Borou~h's Planning Department in supporting our recon~ mendatlcns concerning subdivision developments. Your correspondence to me relating to ~inimu~ lot sizes ~:a~ 'most certainly helpful in this endeavor. If I had to piece responsibility for the Reinders~ problem on any individual, I ~:ould have to lay the blame on the fir~ that did the soils analysis for not adequately takin~ into consideration the winter water table situation in re- lation to the new road construction which was ~oing on at the edge of Reinders' lot and secondarily on the developer for not responding i~edistely to provide n solution to the problem. Page 3 Dr. ),:ax C; Brewer June 2, 1972 One thing that we might do to ensure a consolidated coordinated effort towards elimination of this type of situation, would be to hold a series of workshops involving F~, VA, ahd appropriate State and local offices to discuss on-site waste disp6s~l prublems and practices of the various .co=~unit!es tn the State and attempt to'put together the best of each as a consolidated statewide approach to these problems. While ! agree that press coverage such as the Uay 5 issue is'in some measures disturbing and detrimental,' it is also beneficial in that it st least .exposes the problem to the public and in the long run it is pnly through good sound public support that we will solve this type of co~nunity development problem, This office would most certainly be willing to.participate strongly in a workshop.such as that suggested above but it would probably be most appropriately initiated by your: office.
