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 45' rock bed, built in 2000 for a 3
bedroom home.
Soil boring #1 found mottled soil (redox features) at 1.8' into the original soil
& the original soil at elev. 101.3 & the bottom of the rock bed at elev. 103.1
leaving 1.8' of sand below the rock bed & a 3.6' separation from the bottom
of the rock & redox features. Soil boring #2 found mottled soil at 1.7' into the
original soil & the original soil at elev. 101.1 & the bottom of the rock bed at
elev. 102.9 leaving 1.8' of sand & a 3.5' 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.
A tank Integrity report has not been completed & will need to be completed
for full certification.
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.
