Box 102954 Anchorage, Alaska, 99510 (907) 272-8211 Fax I am writing to request that a permit to install a new well and septic system be issued for this lot. The proposed systems will serve a new two bedroom house, with a future three bedroom addition. Currently the lot is undeveloped. The plan is to install a new -4§000 gallon STEP tank with an advantex AX20 treatment pod and auxiliary pump vault to lift the effluen�o tie field. The surrounding lots are served by private water systems and are over 100 feet from the proposed soil absorption system. The new well will be located in the northeast portion of the lot, greater than 100 feet from the proposed system and from the neighboring septic systems. 1. Soils. The soils were investigated during November of 2005. Ground water was monitored in the test holes at a depth of -5.5 on November 15, 2005. It is known that ground water in this area can be as high as four feet below ground surface. That will be the design ground water height. Bedrock was not encountered in the test hole to a depth of 12 feet. It is my opinion that the overall soils appearance of the soils, an application rate of 5.0 gallons/day/square feet should be used using an advanced treatment system with the field being pressurized. 2. Upgrade Field Design. a. Percolation Rate: 6-15 Min Per Inch b. Application Rate: 5 gpdpsf c. Number of Bedrooms: 5 d. Design Flow: 750gallons per day e. Min. Absorption Area: 150 sf f. Total depth: 0 feet g. Effective Depth: 0.5 feet h. Width: 5.0 feet i. Minimum Length: 30 feet j. Design Length: 30 feet k. Effective Absorption Area: 150 sf 1. Septic Tank Size: 2,000 gallon STEP Page 1 of 2 Page 2of2 3. Surface Water: There is no surface water within 100 feet of the proposed system. The proposed systems will maintain at least 100 feet from all surface water and drainage ditches. 4. Topography: Lot 8 slopes to the southeast at approximately 1 percent based on existing contour information. The proposed installation will be located in the central portion of the lot, greater than 50 feet from slopes greater than 25%. The proposed installation will not affect the future development of the surrounding or existing lots. Thcre are no wells or septic systems within 100 feet of the proposed septic location.
