A Compliance inspection was completed for the existing on-site sewage treatment
system located on this property for the sale of the home. The system consists of 2-
1250 gallon septic tanks, 1 -1250 gallon pump tank, a pressurized mound system
with a 10' x70' rock bed, built in 1995 for a 5 bedroom home.
Soil boring #1 found mottled soil (redox features) at 1.7' into the original soil & the
original soil at elev. 97.7 & the bottom of the rock bed at elev. 99.1 leaving 1.4' of
sand below the rock bed & a 3.1' separation from the bottom of the rock & redox
features. Soil boring #2 found mottled soil at 1.2' into the original soil & the original
soil at elev. 96.8 & the bottom of the rock bed at elev. 99.3 leaving 2.5' of sand & a
3.7' separation. This system meets the required 3' separation from the bottom of the
rock bed.
The tanks were not pumped due to road restrictions.
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 due to adding more solids & fine solids passing through into the
system. Iron filters are also not recommended & should be diverted out of the
system. Excessive amounts of soaps, antibacterial soaps, cleaning agents, shower
cleaners used every shower & chlorine agents may kill the bacteria you need living
in the system. Additives are not recommended. Recommend to pump & clean you
tanks through the manhole by a certified pumper every 2 years. Check with your
pumper to set up a schedule.
This certificate of compliance is no guarantee that this system will continue to
function indefinitely.
