Leonard Lofgren <br />3845 Bayside Road <br />Long Lake, MN 55356 <br />RE: Septic System <br />Dear Mr. Lofgren, <br />CITY of ORONO <br />Post Offite Hos 666Crystal Hay, Minnesota M.WeMunicipal Offiicas <br />On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka <br />September 27, 1985 <br />Field Inspector Lyle Oman informs me that your septic system is no <br />better of f than it ever was, and that you currently have the tank opened <br />up. He noted also that the ground around the tank and drainfield is <br />spongy and, of course, that the whole system is at or below lake level. <br />There are two reasons that an inspection was made now: 1 ) We received an <br />anonymous complaint about sewage being pumped to the lake from your <br />property. We see no evidence that this is occurring, but be reminded <br />that it is obviously not an accepted (or legal) practice. 2 ) We are <br />initiating a formal Alternative Waste Management Study this fall for <br />the Stubbs Bay area. This is the first step in the process leading to <br />installation of municipal sewers for your area. At this point, I <br />won't hazard a guess as to exactly when the sew --r will go in, but the <br />Council appears to have recognized the need for it and has gone on <br />record that Stubbs Bay is the next critical area to consider. <br />I have discussed with you in the past that there is virtually no way to <br />replace your drainfield system within the code requirements. The <br />only solution is holding tanks or municipal sewer. Hopefully the <br />latter option will become a reality soon. In the meantime, I must <br />require that you have your tanks pumped out by a licensed pumper as <br />often as necessary to eliminate any discharge to the lake. <br />Please contact me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, ' <br />Michael P.
