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 1-1300 gallon trash trap, 1-1300 gallon septic tank, 1-1300
gallon pump tank, a 750 gallon Multi-Flo Aerobic Wastewater Treatment
System & a pressurized mound system, built in June of 1996 for a 5 bedroom
home. The Multi-Flo unit was installed on 7-13-07.
Soil boring #1 found mottled soil (redox features) at 1.3' into the original soil
& the original soil at elev. 88.1 & the bottom of the rock bed at elev. 89.6
leaving 1.7' of sand below the rock bed & a 3.2' 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. 88.1 & the bottom of the rock bed
at elev. 89.6 leaving 1.7' of sand & a 3.2' 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 & certified by Elmer J. Peterson Co.
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.
The Multi-Flo requires an annual service agreement for 2 services per year.
The cost for the contract is $225.00 (2018 price). The settable solids are
measured at the time of the serviced & the tanks are pumped when the
solids reach approximately 40%.
This certificate of compliance is no guarantee that this system will continue
to function indefinitely.
