Dear Rolf:
On February 4, 1981, the Platting Board granted preliminary
approval of Denali Industrial Park subject to certain Conditions
of Approval. One of the conditions was that we resolve the
need for soils information with you. A copy of the preliminary
plat and Conditions of Approval are enclosed for your information.
The site is zoned Heavy Industrial and is used for a gravel
transfer operation by Earth Resources. Gravel is hauled in
by train, stockpiled, and then distribution by truck. There
are no plans to change this use in the near future except
for the possibility of expanding the storage area for equipment
and building materials.
There is no need at this time for public sewer at the site.
Sewage for the workers in the area is handled by lporta-cans.ll
This method of waste disposal more than likely wi~l~c.ontinu~
until public sewer is available closer to the site and the
land use changes.
The reason the property is being subdivided is because the
partnership that owned the entire parcel has split up. The
settlement necessitates the subdivision so that the ownership
division can be completed.

The land is generally overlayed by peat and without a soils
investigation, I would assume there is a shallow water
table. We don't feel that under the circumstances it is
necessary to demonstrate the feasibility of on-site sewage
disposal other than porta-cans. The site is occupied only
seasonally during the construction season.
If you have any questions, please give us a call.
Very truly yours,
DOWL ENGINEERS
