Minn. <br /> Job Site; Lot 1 , Blk 2 , Rolling Meadows Addition, Orono , Minn. <br /> Percolation tests amd soil borings were done on the above lot <br /> in 5/13/88 and on 11/29/90. It was determine that a mound system <br /> would be needed on this lot due to the mottled soil levels <br /> at 18-26 inches and the percolation rates were 72 min/in and 62. 7 min/in. <br /> The City of Ororno requires that the minnimum depth to mottled soil <br /> be at 54 inches and the maximum allowable perc. rate be 60 min/in. <br /> before a standard,trench system can be installed . <br /> v <br /> The size of mound system needed for a 5 bedroom home ( based on 750 <br /> gal/day daily water useage and •a perc . rate 72 min/in. the sizing factors ) <br /> would be 92 ft. hong'-on the upslope, 128 ft. long on the downslope <br /> and 62 ft. wide. The size of the rock bed needed would be 19 ft. wide <br /> by 68 ft. long ( 680 sq. ft. ) or 37 tons of rock is needed . <br /> See the enclosed design data for the specifications for the proposed <br /> system. <br /> This mound must be presssurized therefore a pump tank ( 1250 gallon) <br /> and a pump( 50g.p.m.- 214 gal/cycle- 4 cyc ;es/day) must be installed . <br /> An alarm system ( both a sound and a light alarm ) must be installed <br /> in the house to indicate pump failure. <br /> Two 1250 gallon sealed septic tanks must be installed , these tanks <br /> should be pumped out evry 2-3 years . <br /> every <br /> Only clean wash sand should be used in this mound , therefore this <br /> sand should be ♦:checked out by the local inspector to make sure it <br /> meets the specifications . <br /> All construction traffic must be kept off both sites to avoid <br /> compaction of the soils which will result in ruining the sites. <br /> Therefore both sites should be roped off by the builder. <br /> Site Evaluator <br /> Robert A Koch <br /> elt31-47—Caleadt) <br /> Robert KochMPCA Certified <br />
