The tanks two foot manhole risers on the septic and pump tank will need to be <br /> raised to be above the ground surface a minimum of 6 inches for maintenance and <br /> access to the tanks. <br /> The set-back for the well from the septic system area must be a minimum of 50 feet for <br /> both the septic tanks and the absorption area. The septic tanks will need to be at least 10 <br /> feet from the edge of the house and the absorption field must be 10 feet away from <br /> property lines. It is the responsibility of the owner to identify the property <br /> boundaries for designing and installing the septic system. <br /> The septic system if properly installed and maintained should have no problems treating <br /> effluent in the matter that it was designed for. Nothing other than human waste,toilet <br /> tissues, shower, sink, dishwasher and laundry water should be drained to the septic tanks <br /> and treatment field. If you have water treatment systems other than water softeners,in <br /> ex. Iron filters, they should be diverted from entering the septic system. <br /> Garbage disposals are not recommended,as they will add more solids to your septic tanks <br /> and may allow fine particles to enter the treatment area and clog the system. Daily toilet <br /> bowl cleaners, shower sprays (that are used after every shower), and excessive cleaning <br /> agents may kill bacteria needed to treat septic effluent. Additives are not needed, and are <br /> not recommended in properly maintained septic system. <br /> You should have your septic tanks pumped and inspected for proper maintenance <br /> by a certified pumper every 2 years. <br /> General <br /> The soil conditions have been established at the test hole location only. There may be <br /> variations in soil stratigraphy between and around the borings and interpolation and <br /> extrapolation of the results is not warranted. <br /> References: <br /> MPCA Website: http://www.pca.state.mn.us/programs/ists/index.html <br /> U of M Water Resources Center Website: http://septic.umn.edu/index.html <br /> If you should have any questions or need further information, you can contact staff at the <br /> Local Unit of Government that's permitting this project, and or me at your convenience. <br /> I hereby certify that I have completed this septic system design work in accordance with <br /> MPCA's Rules and Standards Chapter 7080-81, local ordinances,rules and laws. <br /> Peine "Chip"Hentges Licenses#2064 <br />
