City ordinance number 100 requires that each on-site sewage treatment system in Orono be inspected on a regular basis.
The on-site sewage treatment system at the above address has been inspected and appears to fall into the category
checked below.
(This is (—an existing system [ 7 new construction)
SYSTEM CONFORMITY (1-3): eR
1 "CODE SYSTEM"-A system which meets all the location, design, and construction standards of the current City
Codes, and which is operating satisfactorily by treating and disposing of the entire current sewage input
awithout discharging any pollutants into ground or surface waters.
"CONFORMING SYSTEM"-A system which does not meet all the location, design, and construction standards of the
current City Codes, but was installed according to the code in effect at the time of installation, and which
is operating satisfactorily by treating and disposing of the entire current sewage input without discharging
any pollutants into ground or surface waters.
3 "NON-CONFORMING SYSTEM"-A prohibited system; a system located within a designated 100-year floodplain; any
system which may or may not meet all the location, design, and construction standards of the current City
Codes and which is failing for any reason; and any system with less than 3 feet of unsaturated soil or sand
between the distribution device and the limiting soil characteristics.
(The limiting soil characteristic [ ] has or { has not been identified at this time. If the limiting soil
characteristic has not been identified, this classification may be subject to revision.)
TANK CONDITION (5-10): p
Tank inspection indicates:
5 Pumpout not needed at this time.
6 Solids accumulation in tanks indicates they should be pumped out this year to help prevent future problems.
7 Solids accumulation in tanks is at a critical level. Tanks should be pumped out as soon as possible.
8 System is discharging to the surface. Tanks must be pumped out within 48 hours to eliminate surface discharge.
9 Inspection risers missing-tanks could not be inspected. Inspection risers (4" dia. pipe) must be installed in each
tank at next pumpout. If tanks have not been pumped out within the last three years, they should be pumped
out now.
1 Inspection pipe is located directly over tank baffle (does not give accurate measurement of solids accumulation).
If tanks have not been pumped out within the last three years, they should be pumped out now.
DRAINFIELD CONDITION (11-14): /I
Dr field inspection indicates:
qDrainfield is dry, no surfacing evident.
Some evidence of surfacing, not critical yet.
13 Drainfield is saturated and visibly discharging untreated effluent to the surface. Contact the City Inspector
immediately. Repairs must be completed within 90 days.
14 Drainfield extent and condition unknown.

SYSTEM COMPLIANCE (1-3) : 3
1 Code System: Meets or exceeds current City standards in all respects relating to design,
construction, and location. Appears to be operating properly.
2 Compliant System: Does not meet all current City standards for new construction, but in
most respects appears to be designed, located, and constructed in accordance with previous
0 codes and is functioning properly.
Non-Compliant System: System may or may not meet current City standards for design,
construction, or location, but is failing to properly treat and dispose of the current
input; and any system with less than three feet of vertical separation between the bottom
of the drainfield and the saturated soil level.
(The saturated soil level is [x] or is not [ ] identified under this septic system. If the
saturated soil level is not identified, this classification is subject to revision.)
TANK CONDITION (5-9) : 9
5 Pumpout not needed at this time.
6 Solids accumulation in tanks indicates they should be pumped out this year.
7 System is discharging to the surface. Tanks must be pumped out within 48 hours.
8 Inspection risers missing-tanks could not be inspected. If tanks have not been pumped out
0within three years, they should be pumped out and risers installed now.
Inspection pipe is located over tank baffle-can not measure solids accumulation. If tanks
have not been pumped out within three years, they should be pumped out now.
10 One or more tanks are cesspools, which means the septic system is non-compliant.
(The tanks are [ ] or are not [ ] water tight or the condition is r)/4 unknown. If the tanks
are not confirmed to be watertight, this classification is subject to revision.)
DRAINFIELD CONDITION (11-14) : 11

Some evidence of surfacing, not critical yet. Repair is not required at this time.
13 Drainfield is saturated and visibly discharging untreated effluent to the surface.
Contact the City Inspector immediately. Repair must be completed within 90 days.
14 Drainfield extent and condition unknown.
POTENTIAL FOR SYSTEM FAILURE: (system age and condition, soils, etc.) : medium
COMMENTS: In order to confirm that your septic system meets Minnesota standards, soil borings
were performed to verify a 3 foot separation between the drainfield and the seasonal water
table. The separation is 0 feet and the system is non-compliant. Repair or replacement of the
septic system is required by 12/31/2008.

Dear Mr. Wood:
An inspection of your septic system was conducted on July 6, 2000. A summary of the inspection is
below.
Septic Tank Condition
1. Pumpout not needed at this time.
The septic system is non-compliant due to a lack of a three foot separation distance between the bottom
of the drainfield to the seasonally high watertable. The three foot requirement is a State Code, not a City
Code. A soil boring was conducted to determine the depth of the seasonally watertable. The septic
system must be replaced by December 31,2010.
Enclosed is a list of state licensed septic contractors who work in Orono on a regular basis. Also
enclosed is a fact sheet explaining how a septic system functions properly. Finally, an as-built drawing
is enclosed that shows the approximate location of the septic system.
If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact me at the City Offices at 249-4600.
R pectfully,
1440
