Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> June 24, 1997 <br /> John Nolan � <br /> 1540 Fox St. <br /> Wayzata, MN 55391 <br /> Dear Mr. Nolan: <br /> You requested information regarding the City's "triggers" which necessitate your septic system <br /> upgrade. I have enclosed a portion of section 12.30 of the Orono Municipal Code. This section <br /> specifically requires the review of a septic system capacity whenever additional bathrooms or <br /> mechanical equipment are likely to affect the operation of the septic system. In your situation two <br /> bathrooms, a laundry room and a garbage disposal were added. As you began the remodel in the <br /> winter, we asked for money to be held in escrow until we knew what, if any changes would be <br /> required. <br /> In the spring of 1996 I told you that we needed to verify the size and condition of the existing septic <br /> system to see if it would be adequate for your residence. I met with you in June of 1996 at which . , <br /> time I found only one septic tank and could not find the drainfield. In order for you to show us that <br /> the system was of adequate size and construction,you would have to pay a contractor to locate your <br /> system. I told you that locating the system could be costly and it may prove your system to be too <br /> small or not in compliance with current codes and require replacement anyway. At that time we <br /> decided to perform a soil boring to determine whether a standard(in ground)trench would meet the <br /> current code. The soil borings indicated that the existing system could not meet current standards <br /> and a new system would be required by August 1, 1996 deadline. <br /> We have been working with you since then to get the septic system upgraded. The septic system <br /> design submitted to us has been approved. Please make sure that your contractor gets a permit for <br /> the septic system by July 15, 1997. <br /> Please contact me at the City offices if you have additional questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ��„/ <br /> Step en Weckman <br /> On-Site Systems Manager <br /> Telephone (612) 473-7357 • FAX 473-0510 <br />
