Orono, MN
A Compliance inspection was completed for the existing on-site sewage
treatment system located on this property for the sale of the home. The
system consists of 2-1000 gallon septic tanks, 1-1000 gallon pump tank & a
pressurized mound system with a 10' x 51' rock bed, built in 1990 for a 4
bedroom home.
Soil boring #1A found mottled soil (redox features) at 1.7' into the original
soil & the original soil at elev. 92.7 & the bottom of the rock bed at elev. 93.6
leaving .9' of sand below the rock bed & a 2.6' separation from the bottom of
the rock & redox features. Soil boring #2A found mottled soil at 1.3' into the
original soil & the original soil at elev. 91.8 & the bottom of the rock bed at
elev. 93.3 leaving 1.5' of sand & a 2,8" 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.
