Dear Mr. Ohrt:
We have reviewed the revised plans for the subject project.
The project is hereby approved for the items which concern
our department.
Enclosed with this letter is a certificate granting approval
to construct the drinking water system. Note that the
"Approval to Operate" section of the certificate must be
completed by a member of this department prior to placing
the system into operation.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions concerning
our review of this project.

Enclosed W~tb,.~js:~.~_j~'f~, please find one copy of the "Soil Investigation
f or ~E_~[ ~ ~.le
Heigh~s~ubdivisJon, Peters Creek, Alaska." Sheet 1 of 1,
"Test Hole Location"; Qhich is a part of the soils report shows the location
of the test holes on the proposed subdivision and data for adjacent areas
which were taken from the records of the Municipality of Anchorage. Test
holes were located as shown to obtain the general characteristics of the
soil in this area and were as extensive as possible because of the heavy
snow and timber coverage which made backhoe access very difficult. Data
was available from the Robindale Subdivision located approximately gO0 feet
to the north of the proposed subdivision which shows soil conditions compar-
able to that found in the test holes. Based on the soil conditions found in
the test holes, and the results of tests made by other engineers both to the
south and north of the proposed subdivision, we feel that the results obtained
in the five test holes are very representative of this area and feel there
is no greater chance for an abrupt change in soil conditions to the north
of Test Hole #4 than there is for an abrupt change between Test Holes #3 and
#4.
Water wells in the area have varied in depth from 132 feet to 300 feet and
in quantity from 20 GPM to 20 GPH, All_ of the bacterial tests in the wells
have been satisfactory. Sheet 1, '~Test Hole Location", shows water well data
which were collected from Municipality records or from present or former
property owners. In our investigat]on, we were given the information by
property owners that one well dr]lled on Lot 2, Voy]es Subdivision was dry
but a second well which was located on the same ]ot resulted ~n a good well
with plenty of water for a large duplex. It was reported by a well driller
that one well which was drilled for the existing house located on Lot 10 of
the proposed subdivision had artesian water in a large quantity but had to
be abandoned because the pump was dropped in the bole and fishing operations
were unsuccessful. The second well which was drilled close by had a much
lesser quantity of water but was adequate for the house.

Page 2.
Well drillers who have experience in this area do not agree on water well
prospects. One driller who uses cable tool drilling methods stated that he
had never failed to get a good well in this general area but drillers who use
rotary drilling methods stated that it is possible to drill a dry or marginal
well in this area. During our investigation, we did not learn of any adjacent
lots which failed to develop a useable water well with good quality although
some of the quantities were marginal.
