SITE EVALUATOR:S-P Testing REPORT DATE: June 9, 1994
The City of Orono has Approved your on-site system design as of August 5, 1994
(approved-disapproved) (date)
with the following comments:
THIS IS NOT A PERMIT. This is a design approval form which must accompany the site plan. A permit must
be issued to a licensed septic contractor prior to installation. A list of currently licensed septic contractors is
enclosed.
NOTICE TO INSTALLERS: Any changes to the approved plans and specs must have prior approval of the
Inspector (473-7357). Call for inspections 24 hours in advance.
ALL DRAINFIELD AREAS MUST BE FENCED OFF prior to building site excavation and fencing must remain
in place until final site grading. Approval to pour footings will not be granted until the Inspections Department
has verified that primary and alternate sites are adequately protected.
NO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC OF ANY KIND (cars, trucks, earth moving equipment, etc.) is allowed within 20'
of tested drainfield sites either before or after system construction. Compaction of these areas could render them
unusable prohibiting the timely completion and or limiting the long term use of the property.
A site copy will be available at the City Offices for the septic contractor.

This On-Site Sewage Treatment System is Designed for a Type 1, four
bedroom home Designed in accordance with the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency Chapter 7080 and local ordinances .
The soils on this site are SCS soils mapped - HbC - Hayden loam.
A seasonally high water table was located at 44" to 48" , (mottled
soil ) . A Shallow Trench System may be installed using gravelless
trench.
The soils at a depth of 12" have a percolation rate averaging
3 . 6 min/inch.
The setback for the wetland is 75 ' .
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 weather proof enclosure . A warning device
must be installed with a light and sound device, this is in case of
a pump failure. (mercury floats are a good method) .
All neighboring wells are located greater than100 ' away from the
proposed treatment area.
Keep all heavy equipment off of the proposed treatment area before
and after construction. The treatment area should be marked off
before construction. This Design is not valid & the system will
need to be relocated if failure to protect the areas proposed
for On-Site Sewage Treatment occurs .

With proper installation and maintenance, this system should have
no problem in treating septic effluent effectively.
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. Smaller amounts of laundry
soaps , dish soaps , cleaning agents , etc . are better for the system.
Antibacterial soaps & chlorine agents may kill the bacteria
needed to treat septic effluent properly. Additives are not
recommended, they may cause harmful damage to your system.
Recommend to pump & clean your tanks by a certified pumper
every year if you have 1 tank & every 2 years if you have 2
tanks to insure proper maintenance.

Part 3: Gravelless Options
for Trench Systems
The Gravelless Trench has been used in Texas since 1971. It is an
extremely viable option for onsite sewage treatment in Minnesota,
and testing and data show that it is as reliable as a trench filled with
gravel. As a result, it has been adopted as a standard system for use
in Minnesota. (See Figure D-33.)
The idea of using something other than rock to hold the trenches apart
is not new. Chapter 7080 currently recognizes two acceptable options.
The first is gravelless pipe, which is corrugated pipe surrounded by a
synthetic fabric. The second is a chamber made out of a nondegradable
material, typically plastic, used to hold the soil apart.
