This notification would seem to indicate that the project is one in which we should be interested. I wish to take this opportunity to remind you that no sewage collectien, sewage treatment, or sewage disposal system (other t:han individual on-site units) can be con- structed in the State of Alaska without the review and approval of plans and specifications by this Department. Prelilninary consultation with this office could possibly save needless backtracking and revision to meet current State criteria. I would suggest that when your project reaches the appropriate stage of development that your engineer set up an appointment with this office for a preliminary Yours traly, Kyle J.

Director Greater Anchorage Area Borough Department of Environmental Quality 3500 Tudor Road Anchorage, Alaska 99507 Re: ,Hount Spurr Estates, Well and septic tank lecations for on-site · ~{'i~{~ Dear Cliff: Attached please find a location sketch of on-site facilities for subject subdivision. In July, 1971, seven test holes were dug on this site. A copy of the logs were sent to you on December 3, 1971. Tl~e material found in these holes varies from GW to SW down to an average depth of 16 feet. This condition is representative of the site. It was my understanding during my December 27th phone conversa- tion with Mr. Strickland that there was no question on adequate potable water source. This should be obvious, based on existing wells nearby. A minimum lot size of 40,000 sq. ft. does not seem reasonable or realistic in an area such as this. If you are proposing to pro- mote this requirement as a Borough policy, please advise us and other Engineers in the area. We are still designing and planning based on regulations and policies established by your department last summer. You had advised me tile Stste was trying to increase minimum lot size for lots with on-site water and sewer to 40,000 sq. ft. minimum area. Mr. Kyle Cherry advises me this is not the case. I would be very surprised to think that your department was independently trying to institute a new standard based on an arbi- trary 40,000 sq. ft. area with complete disregard to the subsurface quality of materials. continued LEWIS E, DICK]NSON, P.E, MAURiCE P, OSWALD, L.S.

WELl. WA'I'IiR DEVELOPMENT We recor, n~)m~d that a single commul'li'~y well be provided as the water supp'ty source 'f'or thc proposal based on Ule following: 1. Well water' data available preclude Che possibili~,y that water on th~Jir own lots i'f all individual wells. to us, copies att, aclj~, does not each lot owner'-'---,¢'i11"'66 able to find must provide water supplios ~hrough 2. The location of wells in close proximity te the shores of Cool< Inlet 'i,s not an adviseable practice as it increasc, s the possihility of sali; wa~er intrusion in~o the fresh water aquifers. 3. l'im scattered development ef some thirty.~fivc (35) individual wells throughout the parcel greatly increases thc, potential of con- tamination 'From various sources within the subdivision; and, further, th: mislocation of Just one well has the potential of upsetting arid actually ne(Jatin~ the entire remaining water supply,-waste disposal d~,~vel opment plan. 4. A single well located on the (,~ast side of the subdivision would be upgrade from the development, greatly reducing the potential of contamination f~om sources wiU]in the subdivision. Lewis E. Dickl~ n Feb. 3, 1972 Page Two Based on the data available and the comm(:nts made above, we suggest tile development nf a single water supply well to serve the entire subdivision. Said well should be located as 'Far east as possible because of the poor to fair ~quifers underlying the subdivision area, we suggest the exact well location be deter- mined via test wells. We recommend ti]at a sewage collector system and treatment p'lant be ins[ailed to provide sanitary waste disposal services to the subdivision and that the effluent from said plant be discharged into the Oceanview Sewage Collection System. The Oceanview lat~ oral system is avail[~ble for connection some 600' north of the Prol~osed subdivision. This concept was explored and preliminary agreement was reached when this area t~as originally proposed for development as Sunset Ilills West by Mr. Earl Bell, Associated Be- velo[)ers (Preliminary plat submitted to your office on May 19, 1.971}. Please refer to the attached letters concernin~l '(',be sub- ject from the []orough's Public Works Department, Chis Department and ~he State o[ Alaska, Department of Environmental Conservation. The, above reco,rme,'~da8ion 'is based on th: following: 1. On-s'iLe waste disposal via septic ta,k-seopage pit is at best a poor inC(:rim substitute to be used until public sewers are avail,- able. It is a well confirmed fact that a, dramatic decrease in biological ac(:ivity occurs below 40° F. as compared with such activiCy a~ higher temperaturns. As you are prol)ahly aware, the mean annual ~emperaLtlre for th~ Auchorage area is in I;he range of 35° ~:o 4~)° F. ~hus, septic tank operation cannot reliably be com- pared wi~h i. ha~ oF ~he majority of the contiguous United States and must therefore be expected to be substantially less efficient. 2. Soil logs submitI;ed indicate very marginal soil conditions for on.-sil;e waste disposal with a predomina~c(-~ of brown/silty, sandy ~w~l - w~ll ~rade~' daml~-dense with co)bles' ~'~ an<: gouTders~+ ?r~'J]~'~F (lop'cb of [we to fifteen Feet. Test hole #,I indicates a water table at 12 '1/2'. These conditions would be quite taxing to the proposed on.-site seepage systems and the proper~y owner could an[icipate failure at a rather rapid rate. t'he 'lots as proposed are not adequately sized to accommodate adequate number of seepage pit replacements within the separation requirements prescribed by Borough Ordinance. 3. The comparatiw, ly low temperatures found in the Anchorage area, as previously referred to, also reduce the efficiency of tile re.- duction and neu[ralization processes which occur as the septic tank efflueut moves ~hruugh the seepage ~ystem and tile surrounding suils. This will result in a lon§er organism survival time pro,- viding 'For extended organism travel distances through ~he soils, Lewis E. Dick'ln. n Feb. 2, 1972 Page 'l'h tee A reprint, passed on '~o me by the Alaska Department of Environ~ mental Coeservation describing work done by Dr. H.J. Fournelle, E.K. Day and W.B. Page on the subject, "~ixperimental Ground Water Pollution at Anchorage, Alaska" and reported in Public tlealth Re~, por~s, Volume 72, No. 3, March 1957, reported bacterial organism survival times in excess of one (1) year. I refer you to this publication for ~urt~her investigation should you so desire. The pbeuome~en, referred to above, certaiely tndlcatesaa need for extreme caution in the development of subdivisions where on-site waste disposal facilities are proposed. I~ further indicates a need for rather large lei; size to accommodate such on,.si[',e ~,,~as~e disposal facilities. Based on the above c~omments, we make tile following recommendations conceruing I;he developme~lt of waste disposal Facilities to service ~he subject proposal. Alternate "A" - That an appropriately designed and approved sewage collectioe system and treatment plant i~e installed and that the plant effluent be discharged into the existing O~eanv'iew lateral system. Alternate "B" - That tile dev(:lopment of the parcel be postponed until s~(:[I time as the Oceanview Sewage /,)isposal system has been upgraded ~o Lhe point that this office and ~hc Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation will allow it to be expanded to serve Che area encompassed by the proposal. Alternate "C" - That each lot be adeq~,~ately sized '~o provide for the continuieg use, of on-site faciliLies. The actual minil~um lot size would depend upon whether or not public water was provided and a more detailed investigation of the proposal with additional soils 'Les'Ling and ou..slte investigations. In summary:, 'it is tl~e recomlm:ndation of the Department of Environ- mental {luality tha~ a siegle community water well and distribution system b~ provided and ~hat said system be located on ~he easternly side of' the proposed subdivision. Further, that a se~,~age collector system be installed with a package treatment plant with effluen~ discharge to '~he existing) Oceanview lateral system. Wa feel that the recommendations centained hereiu are soundly based and ~,~e find that they represent the ~teneral consensus of the various papers and reports 'l:l~at have been published dealing with the subject and with ':he various individuals within the State of Alaska that are pro- fessionally involved in I;he regulation and/or research of on-site waste disposal, water supply and related areas.
