Proposed Lot 3
1745 Fox Street
Orono,Hennepin.County
This on-site Sewage Treatment System is partially designed for a Type 1,five-bedroom home in accordance
with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Chapter 7080 and local ordinances.
Once the house size,location and septic site are chosen this design can be completed.
The seasonally saturated soils were located at 18"-24"(mottled soil). Due to the seasonally saturated soils,
a pressurized Mound System will need to be installed to treat septic effluent. The bottom of the treatment
area must be located at least 3'above the saturated soils.
The soils at a depth of 12"have a percolation rate averaging 4 MPI.
A pumping chamber will need to be installed to lift the effluent to the treatment area. The power supply and
switches must be located outside the manhole and pumping chamber in a weatherproof enclosure_. A
warning device must be installed with a light and sound device;this is in case of a pump failure.
Keep all heavy equipment off of the proposed treatment areas before and after construction. The
treatment area must be fenced off before construction begins. This Design is not valid&the System
will need to be relocated if failure to protect the areas proposed for the On-Site Sewage Treatment
systems occurs.
Nothing other than gray water,(laundry,showers,ect.)human water&toilet tissue should be disposed of
into the septic tanks. Garbage disposals are not recommended. Additives must no be used,they may cause
harmful damage to your septic system. It is recommended that you pump the septic tank every year for 1
tank,every two years for two tanks.
Sincerely,
V
Joseph J.Olson

2. Determine rock layer width =0.83 ft2/gpd x Linear Loading Rate(LLR)(see LLR chart) Perk Rate LLR
0.83 ft2/gpd x 12 = 10.0 ft <120 MPI <=12
3. Length of rock layer=area divided by width= >=120 MPI* <=6

622.5 X 1 ft = 622.5 ft3
2. Divide ft3 by 27 ft3/yd3 to get cubic yards
622.5 ft3 / 27 = 23.1 yd3
3. Multiply cubic yards by 1.4 to get weight of rock in tons;
23.1 yd3 X 1.4 ton/yd3 = 32.3 tons
