potential for causing a pollution hazard if used on a regular basis. I would recommend that if you intend to continue the use of the plumbing in these buildings, that a new system to serve both buildings be constructed to current standards on the south facing slo, c in front of those buildings. This would, of course, require soil testing and the normal design procedure. I would also note that the caretaker now uses the Ballantine cabin system, which is only 15' from the cliff. I would recommend that that system be allowed to continue in use for a short period of time for your convenience, say 45 days, during which time you should consider whether you wish to install a new septic system or remove plumbing from those buildings. The Cook's cabin is served by a cesspool -type tank with no visible pipe outlet. Since it is our impression that this building is to be used for storage only at this time, but that you may wish to retrofit that tank for future use, it would be appropriate that at this time you replace the broken or missing cover sections and allow that tank to remain in place unused for the time being. The tank to the north of the dining hall apparently was installed to serve a dishwasher, but has never been connected. Again, that tank can remain in place, but you should make sure that the cover sections remain in place so that the tank does not become a hazard. To the east of the dining hall, Mr. Peterson noted a very large septic tank of unknown dimensions with a possible outlet pipe that may discharge near the old Berg cabin site. This system needs to be further investigated to determine its size, condition, and design before we would allow its use. Given the above, I would recommend to the City Council that only the South Hill and Peanut Row toilet buildings be allowed to continue in use for the time being, with the understanding that while those systems are located so as to not pose any apparent health or pollution hazard, their capacities are virt.ally unknown and we cannot determine at what level of use they will become a problem. Ultimately, you should plan on replacing these two systems with systems conforming to current codes. Regarding the well casing extont ion, we inspected that installation on 4/26/88 and it would appear to meet the pertinent code standards, being extended approximately 12" to 18" above grade below the f loor of the dining hall. The pit surrounds the top 10' to 15' of that casing should be filled with dirt, . the pipes extending into the floorboard area should be protec a from traffic that may loosen the piping.
