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 />separation between the ordinary high water table and the bottom of the drainfield. <br />A site inspection was conducted to determine if there are any reasonable sites available for a <br />septic system. There does not appear to be any available sites for a stand^d 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 allow. <br />Staff recommends allowing this property to connect to the city sewer system because there ^e no <br />sites due to excessive slope. If more definitive mformation is needed, the property owner will <br />need to hire a state licensed site evaluator to test the soils at this site. <br />• i <br /><1
