B. Inventory Results <br />Perhaps the most enlightening information to be gained from <br />the inventory is the potential capability of each property to <br />support a replacement septic system within the confines of the <br />minimum City and State sanitary code requirements (see Exhibits G <br />and Appendix 1). <br />Note first that 24 (30%) of 79 existing wells are located <br />less than the minimum required 50' from septic system components. <br />Also, note that of 82 existing developed properties, 23 (28%) <br />could not construct a new or replacement system within the <br />confines of even the relaxed code standards, and 4 additional <br />properties could only construct a bed -type drainfield system <br />which is generally less efficient and more prone to failure than <br />a trench or mound system. <br />In addition, 14 of 82 properties (17%) would encounter major <br />limitations in trying to replace existing systems due to limited <br />lot areas, well locations, and the locations of trees, small <br />storage buildings, sidewalks, and other property amenities not <br />enumerated in the survey. <br />Only 41 or 50% of the 82 properties have substantial area <br />available for what could be considered permanent usage of septic <br />systems. This percentage would be considerably smaller if the <br />factors of soil condition and topography were taken into account. <br />III.
