Dear Mr. Kuruvilla:
I am writing in regards to your property at 850 Wayzata Boulevard West in the
City of Orono. I met onsite with a representative from Elmer Peterson Company
yesterday, as I understand, your request. The site visit was to determine whether
or not the septic tanks are up to code and if the septic system needs to be brought
up to code.
The existing tanks are not water tight and have an earthen bottom. This is not
allowed and has been an illegal system by State Code since the 1970's. The drain
field has already been identified by this Office as non-compliant do to lack of
groundwater separation. The system must be brought up to code by September
15, 2005. I would suggest, however, that the system be updated before the start of
the school year to avoid construction equipment and open holes with children
present.
Please contact a designer to begin the site evaluation/design process and when
that has been done it needs to be submitted to this Office for approval. Once
approved, normally a day or two, the design can be given to the installer for the
issuance of a permit. If you have any questions, feel free to call.
Sincerely,
Willie Gibbs R.S.

Dear Mr. Kuruvilla:
I am writing in regards to the above addressed property and the requirement to
update the septic system. I wrote to you on June 15, 2005 explaining that the
existing system did not meet code and must be updated. I advised you to try and
have the system brought into compliance by the start of the school year. You
were given until September 15, 2005 to comply.
I did not follow-up at that time since you were working with Rusty Olson on
completing a septic system design. I spoke with Mr. Olson on November 28,
2005 about the status of the design. He told me that installing a water meter had
been discussed and that he was on hold until he found out what the water usage
turned out to be. I am assuming that the water meter was installed and that
someone has been recording the daily water flows. If daily flows are not taken
then the designer will still have to "guestimate" what the anticipated peak flow
would be.
The septic system must be brought into compliance by June 15, 2006. This date
will have provided you with one full year to update the system. That is more than
ample time. If the system is not updated by that date I will proceed with legal
action and revocation of the school charter/license due to insufficient sanitary
facilities. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Willie Gibbs R.S.
