O O <br /> CITY of ORONO <br /> Municipal Offices <br /> ti <br /> 4L' Street Address: Mailing Address: <br /> �1f�Hp /� 2750 Kelley Parkway P.O. Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> April 14, 2000 <br /> Gerald and Shelly Storch <br /> 1245 Woodhill Avenue <br /> Wayzata, Mn 55391 <br /> Dear Mr. &Mrs. Storch: <br /> A routine inspection of your septic system was conducted on April 12, 2000. At the time of inspection <br /> it was found that the septic system is discharging untreated septic effluent to the surface. This is a <br /> violation of the Orono septic code. The system was last inspected on July 10, 1998 at which time it was <br /> found to be discharging effluent to the surface. A soil boring was taken and logged that showed the <br /> system does not meet the state required three foot separation between the seasonally high water table <br /> and the bottom of the trench system. <br /> City code requires that all systems discharging untreated effluent to the surface be repaired or replaced <br /> within ninety (90) days. A system that lacks the three separation requirement must be replaced within <br /> ten(10)years. <br /> It is my opinion that the reason the system is surfacing is possibly due to excess water being used. I <br /> recommend that you check all water fixtures in the home to make sure that they are not leaking. I also <br /> recommend that water use be conserved as much as possible. The water softener recharge water and <br /> draintile sump pump should not go into the septic system. These water sources do not need to be treated <br /> and can be pumped outside the home. <br /> I will reinspect the property in one month. If at that time the septic system is still discharging to the <br /> surface, the septic system will need to be replaced in ninety (90) days. If the system is not discharging <br /> to the surface, the septic system will need to be replaced by December 31, 2008. <br /> If there are any questions regarding this letter, please contact me at the City Offices at (952) 249-4600. <br /> If you would prefer, I would be happy to meet with you on the property to discuss your options. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Chris Pence <br /> On-Site Systems Manager <br /> Telephone(612)249-4600 • Fax(612)249-4616 <br />
