Steve Gardiner, 3770 Bayside Road <br />October 29, 1986 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Given these facts, and given that you are concerned about <br />your septic system surviving the winter, it seems appropriate <br />that you install some additional drainfield as an interim <br />measure. It appears that you could install one or two drainfield <br />lines, running north -south, to the east of your existing drain - <br />field line, using drop boxes. You probably will be able to add <br />from 200-400 square feet of drainfield. It appears that this new <br />drainfield can be placed so it will be well above lake level and <br />will be at least 50' from your well. Considering that this is an <br />interim measure, we will not require soil testing. <br />You should be aware that even if you do add drainfield, the <br />system will not be considered as meeting all current code <br />standards for a new septic system. In order to be totally in <br />compliance, you would have to 1) install new precast concrete <br />tanks meeting a 50' setback from your well; 2) have soil testing <br />completed and construct a drainfield system based on the soil and <br />water table conditions on the site, and being at least 75' from <br />the well. I think it is unlikely that you could construct a <br />totally conforming system on your small lot. <br />I am enclosing a list of contractors licensed with the City <br />to install drainfield systems. Your contractor must obtain a <br />permit before commencing work. Please contact me at 473-7357 if <br />you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael P.
