Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> Februaty 25, 2000 <br /> Mazk Larson <br /> 366 North Arm Lane <br /> Mound,Mn 55364 <br /> Dear Mr. Lazson: <br /> The City of Orono implemented a septic system inspection program in 1978. City staff inspects all properties <br /> � in Orono with a septic system once every two to three years. The inspection entails checking the system for <br /> compliance with State and City codes. The inspection also includes examining the septic tanks to determine if <br /> a pumpout is needed. Finally,the inspector looks for any site limitations that would inhibit the septic system <br /> from functioning properly. A report is then mailed to the homeowner explaining the condition of the system <br /> and if the septic tanks needed to be pumped. The report also includes information if the system needs repairs <br /> and the time frame for when the repairs need to be completed. <br /> In 1989, Minnesota passed a law that stated a11 new and existing septic systems must have a three foot vertical <br /> separation between the bottom of the drainfield and the seasonal watertable. This then forced City staff to <br /> conduct soil borings along with the other aspects of the inspection stated above. City Council then passed a <br /> resolution that those properties located with in the shoreland district would need to replace a non-compliant <br /> septic system within seven years. Those properties not within the shoreland district must replace a non- <br /> compliant septic system within ten years. <br /> � The septic system at the above described property has been deemed non-compliant by the City of Orono <br /> because it does not meet the three foot vertical separation requirement in the drainfield. The septic system <br /> must be replaced by December 31,2000. <br /> If you disagree with the inspection results,there is an appeals process. Enclosed is a list of State licensed <br /> septic contractors and inspectors who work regularly in Orono. You may contact an inspector on tlus list to <br /> � independently inspect your septic system for compliance with State and City codes. If the septic system is <br /> found to be compliant and is issued a certificate of compliance,the system will not need to be replaced. If the <br /> system is issued a notice of non-compliance,the septic system�vill need to be replaced by December 31, <br /> 2000. If this is the avenue you wish to pursue,please contact an inspector as soon as possible to set up a time <br /> for the inspection. City staff will not be on-site when the independent inspector conducts the inspection. <br /> If there are any questions regazding this letter,feel free to contact me at the City Offices at 249-4600. <br /> Re ectfull , <br /> I .�� <br /> 's Pence <br /> .
