construct a new system. 6. Toilet building below Peanut Row. The septic tank for this building is located 10-15' south of the building. The tank is fairly large, however its design and constriction is questionable and the baffle system (which is rotting) allows for a very limited detention time within the tank. Although no drainfield was founu by probing, we believe there is drainfield located to the west and northwest of the toilet building. In looking further north, we found no evidence ' the system discharges to the surfac,- and it is located at least 2uu' from the lakeshore. It's my recommendation that this Rystem be allowed to continue in use until such time that it is fou,id to be failing. The property owners would be advised to retrofit that tank with a new baff le system and rework piping near the tank so that the detention time is maximized (the outlet of the tank should be directly across from the inlet, not a few feet to the side of it). It is my opinion that use of this system will not cause any damage to the environment, however, we have no way of determining the actual maximum capacity or capability of this system for accepting sewage. 7. The Cook's cabin (westerly of the block buildings). This building has a cesspool -type, self curbing block tank located directly behind it. Some of tl,�a cover sections are missing and/or caving in. This tank needs to be covered Lmmediately to preve; accidents. Since this building is currently intended for storage onl, no use of this system is anticipated. Since thf existing tank is i,ot a sealed tank, but merely a cessl ool with no visible discharge pike outlet, it is of questionable value an,4 certainly doesn't meet any current codes. We would not allow it to be used in the future in its current state, but might be suitable for future retrofitting. 8. West block and east block cabins. Both the block buildings had toilets, and in the west building, just to the west of the building is a pipe that we expect probably leads to some sort of a cesspool type tank. However, this tank has not been located. The east block building probably contains the same type of system. Since these buildings are to be used for storage, it is not a great concern at this time that the systems be located. However, it would be appropriate to find those systems and presuming they are merely cess- pools► fill them in so they will not be a hazard. 9. Dining Hall. The dining hall is sere !d by two systems, one of which is connected and one of which probably is not connected. A very large septic tank is located approximately 40' east of the dining hall building, and the manhole was uncovered during our inspection. It is not known where this tank (lischarges, although the caretaker s:irmises that a pipe heads to the south and surfaces near where Berg cabin w..s lccated. This system needs to be looked at in more detail, perhaps even having the tank uncovered in its entirety and the discharge location verified to determine whether or not the system should remsin in any tyl:n of use. The second system for the dining hal'. is to the rorth of the kitchen area and consists merely of a dry 1200 gal Ion capacity cesspool -type tank that was intende ^ be connecLed to a dishwasher which never was installed.
