The existing absorption trench On Lot 8, Borealis Subdivision has failed and effluent is currently noted .on the ground surface. It is imperative the system be upgraded immediately to prevent damage to pdvate property and to eliminate a possible health hazard, We are therefore requesting 'a permit be issued as soon as possible-to construct a new absorption trench to serve the four bedroom house on the .lot.. The attached Site Plan and backup documentation show the location and configuration of the new absorption trench as well as the existing trench. The subdivision is served by a community wa!er s,.ystem and all separation distances from the Class A well are met. No conflicts exist with adjacent lots. A test hole was recently placed on the lot to find an acceptable location for the new absorption trench, The hole revealed silty gravel which percolated at 40 minutes per inch. This rate is slower than the'rate used to design the original absorption trench. That trench, however, has been in service for more than 20 years and ha'; apparently worked well up till now. Groundwater was noted during the excavation at a depth of 14' and was monitored at 13' during the ensuing period. We have therefore designed a .'deep trench absorption system with 8' of gravel beneath the distribution lateral. The lateral will be placed at 1'below the ground surface and the total depth of the trench will be 9' below existing ground to provide 4' separation from groundwater. Insulation over the trench or mounding will be required to prevent freezing. The existing septic tank will be exposed to determine whether it Is suitable for continued use. 'It will be replaced if necessary. Two new post tank cleanouts will be placed and a new Zabel Flow D verter Valve. The existing trench will be tied in to the new system, but will receive no flow until it rejuvenates itself. The new trench will receive all septic effluent at this time. The lot surface slopes from south to north at between 5% and 10%.' The absorption trench will be placed with'the slope of the property in conformance with Municipal 'requirements, Attempts will be made not to damag,e, existing mature trees in the back yard of the house. This, however, may not be possible due to the length of the trench ' and the minimal area available for the septic upgrade. Lot 8, Borealis Subdivision May 9,' 2000. Page Two If the system is constructed in accordance with our design the following statements apply: . - ' I. - The system, if constructed 'as designed, will have no adverse impact on the wells in the area or those to be constructed in the future. The system, if constructed as designed, will have no adverse impact on existing septic systems in the area or those to be constructed In the future. The system, if constructed as designed, will hav~ no'adverse impact on reserved space, either surface or subsurface, On any lots located in the area. 4 The system, if constructed as designed, will have no adverse impact on drainage 'patterns in the area. The current drainage pattern will be maintained. Sincerely, Michael E. Anderson, P.E.
