No 627 - State License #394 - Phone 763-497-3566 - Fax 763-497-5011 www.sptesting.wastewater@comcast.net— schirmerswastewater.com June 14, 2021 Jennifer DieCubellis 3155 Jamestown Rd. Orono, MN 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 a Type IV with a 1500 gallon spit septic tank, with the 500 gallon trash trap, 1000 side as a dose tank, 1 - 750 gallon Multi -Flo Unit & 10' x 47' pressurized trench system approximately 111' long= 1002sq.ft. The system is designed with a 14" to 22" separation from the bottom of the system & redox features. Soil boring #1 was completed at the south end of the system which found mottled soil (redox features at 34" below grade. The remaining area around the mound was disturbed during construction but was not disturbed in the are of SB#1. Both south & north ends of the trenches appear to be installed 12" in the original soil. With mottled soil at 32" in the original design, this leaves 1.1' to 1.7' of separation from the bottom of the trenches & redox features. This system is in compliance with Minnesota Chapter 7080.0179 rules. Soil was added to the exposed rock at the south end of the system. Manhole risers were re -sealed at the pump tank to the drainfield by Kothrade Sewer, Water & Excavating Inc. The Multi -Flo has been serviced by Schirmers Wastewater Treatment Systems since it was installed. Monitoring of the trenches have found the trenches dry. No indication of hydraulic overloading. The Multi -Flo Unit requires to be serviced 2 times a year at a cost of $250.00 a year (2021 price). The trenches have to be monitored 1 time a year at a cost of $50.00 a year (2020 price) & a fecal coliform test 1 x a year at a cost of $250.00. These prices are subject to change. The tanks were pumped by Kothrade Sewer, Water & excavating, Inc. & were found to be compliant. Nothing other than human waste, toilet tissue, laundry, showers, water softners etc. should be disposed of into the system. IRON FILTERS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO DISHCARGE INTO THE SYSTEM. Garbage disposals are not recommended. Excessive amounts of soaps, antibacterial soaps, cleaning agents, shower cleaners used every shower & chlorine agents may kill the bacteria needed to treat septic effluent. Additives are not recommended. Recommend laundering be limited to 3 to 4 loads per day. The Multi -Flo Unit will need to be pumped when the settable solids reach 40%. Schirmers Wastewater will meet the pumper & clean out the Multi -Flo at the same time. There will not be a charge for Schirmers Wastewater to clean the filters in the Multi -Flo unit as long as pumping is only needed 7 time every 3 consecutive years. The pumping charges from the pumper are your responsibility. By using smaller amounts of laundry, dish, dishwasher soaps will help to decrease pumping the system. See the attached Multi -Flo Care Sheet. This certificate of compliance is no guarantee that this system will continue to function indefinitely. Steven B.
