(This is Od an existing system ❑ new construction) 1 Meets or exceeds current City standards in all respects re:ating to design, construction, and location. Appears to be operating properly. 2 Does not meet all current City standards for new construction (1978 Code) but in most respects appears to be designed, located, and constructed generally in accordance with previous codes. System appears to be functioning properly; no major upgrading of the system is required at this time. 3 Does not meet current City standards in many re"cts relating to design, construction, or location. Appears to be operating adequctely at this time, but has a relatively high potential for future problems. No major upgrading of sy-tem is required at this time. 4 System may or may not meet current City standards for design, construction or location, but is failing to properly treat and dispose of the current input, and is endangering a water supply, or is a source of pollution to surface or groundwaters, or is creating a safety hazard, or is other, a creating a public nuisance. Please contact the City Inspector to discuss system repair/ replacement procedures.

SYSTEM CONDITION I m Checked items may require your action) Tank inspection indicates: ❑ Pumpout not needed at this time. ❑ Solids accumulation in tanks indicates they should be pump- ed out this year to help prevent future problems. ❑ Solids accumulation in tanks is at a critical level. Tanks should be pumped out as soon as possible. ❑ System is discharging to surface. Tanks must be pumped within 48 hours to eliminate surface discharge. ` Inspection rivers missing —tanks could not be inspected. Inspection risers (4" die, pipe) must L9 installed in each tank at next pumpout. If tanks have not been pumped out within the last three years, they should be pumped out now. SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Limiting Site Factors ❑ Slope ❑ Soil ❑ High water table ❑ Lot size ❑ Lake, wetland, or stream ❑ Drainage ❑ Inspection pipe is located directly over tank baffle. (Does not give accurate measurement of solids accumulation.) If tanks have not been pumped out within the last three years, they should be pumped out now.

This condition may require replace- ment or additions to drainfield. Contact the City Inspector immediately. Repairs must be completed within 90 days. ❑ Drainfield extent and condition unknown. Potential for System Failure (depends on soil types, water table and system condition) f!�LOw ❑ Medium ❑ High ❑ System is causing visible Site Capabilities for Future Expansion ❑ Adequate Fair ❑ Poor ❑ Inadequate Note: In the event that this inspection report is used to satisfy the requirements for a mortgage or other transfer of property, be advised that this report does not guarantee or certify that an existing system will continue to function properly, but is merely an opinion of the ?dequacy of the system under current conditions based on the available information.
