� . ! s • <br /> i <br /> I <br /> Orono residents on mound type septic systems <br /> m: Willie Gibbs, ISTS Manager <br /> ate: May 10,2006 <br /> e; Landscaping Do's and Don'ts for Mound Systems, Quick Reminder <br /> o plant and maintain a full cover of grass and keep mowed to a normal height, this grass cover aids <br /> the evaporation of large amounts of effluent(the liquid left after the "other' stuff has been removed) <br /> the summer time and allows the mound system to hefp breakdown nitrogeFl in the effluent. <br /> o water the grass over the mound in extreme dry conditions, sparingiy. <br /> o avoid unnecessary foot t�affic over the mound, maw it and stay off of it. This is especially true in the <br /> inter time. Even human foot traffic can cause frost to penetrate the mound resulting in potential <br /> eezing problems. <br /> o inspect your mound system annually for winter kill, (reseed if necessary) animal damage, <br /> urrowing)or signs of potential failure. <br /> o not plant trees or shrubs on the mound system, smaller trees and shrubs may be ptanted at the <br /> dges. Remember,that sunshine is the key to a healthy mound system. <br /> o ask questions, if you have any concerns or questions concerning your mound system <br /> lease feel free to call me, I can be reached at 952-249-4626. <br /> , 1 <br />
