/ . <br /> TO: Greg Gappa, Public Services Director <br /> FROM: Chris Pence, On-Site Systems Manager <br /> DATE: September 23, 1999 <br /> SUBJECT: Septic Review for 480 Russell Ave. <br /> The existing septic system on 480 Russell Ave. is a non-compliant septic system and needs to be <br /> repaired by 12/31/2002. The septic sytem failed due to a lack of a state required three foot <br /> sepazation between the ordinary high water table and the bottom of the drainfield. <br /> A site inspection was conducted to determine if there,�re any reasonable sites available for a <br /> septic system. There does not appear to be any available sites for a standard septic system. The <br /> major reason is slope. The slope of the land is too high and is not conducive for a septic system. <br /> The slope is over 6%, which is the maximum slope that city code will a11ow. <br /> Staff recommends allowing this properiy to connect to the city sewer system because there are no <br /> sites due to excessive slope. If more definitive information is needed,the properry owner will <br /> need to hire a state licensed site evaluator to test the soils at this site. <br />
