' s . � . • •; � ' To: Orono residents on mound type septic systerns From: Willie Gibbs, ISTS Manager Oate: May 10,2006 Re: Landscaping Do's and Don'ts for Mound Systems, Quick Reminder Do plant and maintain a full cover of grass and keep mowed to a normal height, this grass cover aids in the evaporation of large amounts of effluent(the fiquid left after the "other' stuff has been removed) in the summer time and ailows the mound system to heip breakdown nitrogen in the effluent, Do water the grass over the mound in extreme dry conditions, sparingiy. Do avoid unnecessary foot traffic over the mound, mow it and stay off of it. This is especially true in the winter time, Even human foot traffic can cause frost to penetrate the mound resulting in potential freezing problems. Do inspect your mound system annually for winter kill, (reseed if necessary) animal damage, (burrowing)or signs of potential failure. Do not plant trees or shrubs on the mound system, smaller trees and shrubs may be planted at the edges. Remember,that sunshine is the key to a healthy maund system. Do ask questions, if you have any concerns or questions concerning your mound system please feel free to call me, I can be reached at 952-249-4626. � � 1 * ^� r �O� O O CI'TY OF ORONO Municipal Offices v��,, �, 8treet Address Mailiag Address: � �j�' 2750 Kelley Parkway P.O.Box 66 '�.q 4i Orono,MN 55356 Crystal Bay,MN 55323-0066 kE8H04 To: The Current Owner of Address 525 SUSSEX CIR City Ordinance requires that onsite sewage treatment systems in Orono be inspected on a periodic basis.
