The system consists of 2-1250 gallon septic tanks, 1-1000 gallon pump tank & a pressurized mound system with a 10' x 75' rock bed, built in 2012 for a 5 bedroom home. Soil boring #1 found mottled soil (redox features) at 1.7' into the original soil & the original soil at elev. 98.4 & the bottom of the rock bed at elev.99.7 leaving 1.3' of sand below the rock bed & a 3' separation from the bottom of the rock & redox features. Soil boring #2 found mottled soil at 2.2' into the original soil & the original soil at elev. 98.2 & the bottom of the rock bed at elev. 99.7 leaving 1.5' of sand & a 3.7" separation. This system meets the required 3' separation from the bottom of the trenches & redox features & is classified as in compliance with Minnesota Chapter 7080 rules. The tanks were pumped by Kothrade Sewer , Water & Excavating & were found to be compliant. Nothing other than gray water (laundry, showers etc.) human waste & toilet tissue should be disposed of into the septic tanks. Garbage disposals are not recommended due to adding more solids & fine solids passing through into the system. Iron filters are also not recommended & should be diverted out of the system. Excessive amounts of soaps, antibacterial soaps, cleaning agents, shower cleaners used every shower & chlorine agents may kill the bacteria you need living in the system. Additives are not recommended. Recommend to pump & clean you tanks through the manhole by a certified pumper every 2 years. Check with your pumper to set up a schedule. This certificate of compliance is no guarantee that this system will continue to function indefinitely. Steven B.
